Description
Rich in color and symbolism, this handsome strand showcases more than 500 carats of polished garnet beads. Deep red garnet has been prized since antiquity, adorning Egyptian pharaohs and Roman signet rings, believed to protect travelers and inspire clarity and devotion. Gold vermeil beads offer a warm visual contrast. Wear it as a full 36" opera length long strand, pair it with other shorter chains, or double it for a layered look. No matter how you wear it, this beaded garnet necklace bridges past and present with ease.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
