What is Garnet?
The rich maroon tones of the garnet semi-precious gemstones are faceted and reflect light beautifully. Garnet is all about vitality, believed to aid in manifesting and bringing good luck, as well as protection. It is also great for building self-confidence and clarifying one’s life purpose.
What is gold-fill?
Gold-filled materials are made by heat and pressure, bonding a 5%
layer of karat gold to a base metal. Gold-fill has an actual layer of karat gold that is
about 100 times thicker than plated gold which has about .05% gold. These pieces can
often last a lifetime without tarnishing.
