GARNETS are found in many colors and many different chemical compositions. Rhodolite garnets are rose-pink to purple-pink, Hessonite garnets range from honey-yellow, to orange, to brown-red, and Tsavorite garnets are a vibrant green in color. The term "Garnet" comes from the Latin "ganatum" which translates to that juicy red fruit, "pomegranate." Garnets have been used for thousands of years from Egypt to Rome. In Egypt, garnets were used in the necklaces of pharaohs, carved into scarabs and worn in gold rings, and set into the sarcophagi of mummified bodies to be carried into the afterlife. In Rome, the stone was carved into wax seals, set into rings, and worn by soldiers for protection. Garnets along with many other gemstones still adorn Roman relics, the skeletal remains of Catholic saints. Red is symbolic in East Indian culture and is worn in the jewelry and clothing of the bride, representing the rising sun, prosperity and fertility.

Faceted garnets dot this hand chain down the hand and around the wrist. They have been meticulously wire wrapped along 14k gold filled chain which I have made adjustable. There are 24k gold vermeil decorative beads for added detail. More hand chains can be found in the WRIST section located here:

- Every piece of jewelry is wrapped in a protective foam layer and placed into a jewelry box.
- Every box will have a ribbon tied into a bow around it making it ready for gift giving.
- I place all jewelry from each order into one box. If you would like individual boxes for each item, please leave me a comment in the notes section upon checkout. I will be sure to include a little quick description taped to each box so you will know which one is inside which box.

14K GOLD FILLED, STERLING SILVER & GEMSTONES:
- Keeping jewelry in individual zip lock bags helps reduce the time you spend cleaning your jewelry and keeps them separated and untangled.
- I keep my personal jewelry collection in glass boxes in my home on display, because I love to look at them as pieces of art when I'm not wearing them. If this is the case for you as well, you will have to maintain your jewelry with light polishing.
- Be gentle! Take a bowl of warm water and mix with a little dish soap and lightly swish your jewelry around. Let sit for a few minutes. Rinse in clean water and lightly tap dry with a microfiber cloth, leaving it out in open air to completely dry.
- Look for the only polishing cloth you will ever need in the POLISH section of my shop:

OXIDIZED METALS & OTHER FINISHES:
- Do not polish or wash as this will wear away the protective wax coating and the finish of the metal.
