Description
A gem with ancient symbolism, Renaissance style, and timeless appeal is showcased in a design that can skew modern one day, classical the next. A 3.5-carat garnet in a faceted emerald cut anchors a Y-style gold vermeil paperclip chain. Garnet has been valued for centuries as a symbol of love, strength, and safe travels—making this a meaningful gift for January birthdays, someone embarking on a journey either literal or metaphorical, or anyone who appreciates understated design with a pinch of extra pizzazz.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
