Garnets have been found in jewellery from the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. It was also one of the most popular gemstones used during the Victorian era of jewellery. There are many different myths about the origins of the beautiful Garnet, and they are a symbol of love.
 
One such myth suggests that the Garnet originated with Persephone, the Greek goddess. Persephone was captured by Hades, the god of the underworld. Before Hades released Persephone, he wanted to guarantee her return, so he gave her some pomegranate seeds. In Greek mythology, a pomegranate is referenced as a gift of love and is associated with eternity. The word garnet comes from the Latin "granatus," which means seed. The next time you eat a pomegranate, you will notice the seeds' resemblance to the stunning Garnet.
