Warm, rich red garnets have guided and protected mankind for thousands of years. The luminous stone is traditionally worn as a talisman, as it was believed to light up the night and protect the wearer from misfortune. Tradition tells us that Noah used a garnet lantern to help him steer the ark through the darkened night. The 11 carat stone at the center of this ring is a unique hybrid of two types of garnet, Almandite and Spesserite.
