Perles et composants en Grenat pour bijoux DIY en pierres naturelles

Garnet is one of the oldest and most popular natural stones in the world of DIY jewelry. Its chromatic palette, which ranges from cherry red to deep burgundy, orange and even green depending on the variety, makes it a material of choice for creations that are both sophisticated and timeless.

Choosing garnet for your handmade jewelry

• Its naturally intense hue needs no artifice: garnet stands on its own to add sparkle to your piece.
• With a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, it's tough enough for everyday use.
• It goes very well with fine gold, 925 silver and stainless steel.
