Description

Natural raw red garnet set in copper, on toggle clasp copper chain.

Material

Natural gemstone and copper.

The 12-14mm raw gemstone is set in copper, creating a bold and beautiful contrast.

The chunky chain, measuring 45cm, is made up of 6mm x 4mm oval links and features a secure toggle clasp.

Each chain is plated in rose gold to preserve its finish, though over time, the plating will naturally wear away, revealing the rich copper beneath. Copper, known for its natural antibacterial properties, is also believed to have therapeutic benefits when worn.

While copper may sometimes cause the skin to turn green due to a reaction with certain skin types, it's not harmful and can easily be removed with soap and water. A coat of clear nail polish can also prevent this.

The gemstone was used in Ancient Egyptian art and jewellery and it was valued as sacred by the Native American Indians, the South American Indians, the African tribal elders, the Mayans and the Aztecs.

Garnets come in a wide variety of colours, the most famous colour being deep red or the pyrope garnet.
