The Kinthia collection

Garnet Jewelry

Garnet takes its name from the Latin granatum, the pomegranate, whose tightly packed seeds it recalls, and garnet jewelry has kept that ripe-fruit color. In the evening the stone looks almost black, then a wine red rises back up when you bring it near a lamp. It’s credited with passion and faithfulness, two ways of loving that don’t pull against each other.

A stone, a style,
your story.

A few pointers to find what feels like you.

Several garnets under one name

The word garnet actually covers a whole group of minerals. Almandine, one of its members, is a deep red with violet hints. The thicker the stone, the darker it gets, while a small bead or a little cut stone lets through an almost transparent red. Fairly hard, garnet holds up well to everyday wear.

Passion, the long-lasting kind

Garnet speaks of passion, but a passion that lasts. Added to that is the courage to commit, then the courage to keep your word to what you hold dear, a person, a project, a conviction. Nothing impulsive here: more the steadiness of a fire you keep tending.

On the wrist and on the finger

On the wrist, garnet comes as beads, alone for a solid red or mixed with carnelian, rose quartz, or tiger’s eye beads, sometimes in wrap styles. On the finger, it sits on thin, adjustable, silver-plated rings that leave all the room to its color.

January, and all year round

As January’s birthstone, garnet is the natural choice for an early-year birthday. Its color of passion also ties it to Valentine’s Day or to the anniversary of a first meeting. Its red goes with black, charcoal gray, and cream.
