BRIEF HISTORY OF THE GARNET GEMSTONE

The name “Garnet” stems from the Greek word for pomegranate, a fruit with clusters of fiery red seeds. Czechoslovakia is one of the few places in the world where the “Pyrope” variety of garnets can be found. The pyrope has the deepest fiery red color of the entire garnet family. This unique garnet is world renowned as the famous Bohemian Garnet and has been mined from the mountains of Bohemia for over 600 years.

Garnets were highly popular in Europe during the 18th and 19th century and enjoyed great admiration and demand during the Victorian age.

The brilliant sparkle of the Bohemian Garnets is due to their excellent clarity, transparency and high refraction of light. Beauty, elegance, durability and value assure the continued admiration and demand for the Bohemian Garnet.
