  I bought one of these for myself and continually get complements on it when I wear it. Love its mass and sparkle. I have this in 14K gold vermeil, which is gold over sterling silver. I can get it in sterling silver if you'd prefer.
  
  Often referred to as Bohemian garnets, due to the region where they’re mined, these lovely crosses are a more recent version of the early turn-of-the-century crosses. Dark, beautiful, faceted garnets reflect against a sterling setting. (The camera reflects light through the smaller stones making some appear lighter. Ignore that. These are all beautifully dark.) Lovely.
  
  Having recently returned from a European trip, I bring you these from the original garnet mines of Czechoslovakia. Earlier made, turn-of-the-century pieces were also made of garnets mined there. This gilded sterling silver garnet cross reminds us of treasured antique garnet necklaces of days gone by... a lovely cross with dark, lovely, faceted garnets. As seen in the photos, the vermeil (which is 14K gold over sterling silver) is much brighter in these new pieces.
  
  This is a traditionally made garnet cross, with identical rose cut garnets making up the arms of the piece. The arms of the cross are ended classically, with three garnets finishing each arm, reflecting the Trinity. NBJ451C shows the addition of a genuine pearl. I can add that bit of whimsy for you if you'd like, too.

  I always enjoy knowing the story behind the pieces that I love. Granát is a cooperative in Turnov, a small town founded in 1272 right in the heart of what is called the Bohemian Paradise. The coop was formed 66 years ago when a number of smaller goldsmith shops combined to form a single entity. They now have sole propriety over all garnets mined in the Czech Republic. I love their work and love wearing their pieces. It is said that the garnet was considered to be a talisman and was worn by King David and Medieval warriors into battle.
