Colektio Chipped Pomegranate Bracelet

The Colektio bracelet, made from natural garnet, is a piece of jewellery with a beaded appearance and a solid construction. It is designed for both men and women who appreciate the combination of natural materials and symbolic meaning. The stones come from certified mines in Brazil and are strung on a 19cm long bracelet. Garnet is traditionally seen as a symbol of strong will and determination, making it not just an accessory, but a personal talisman. Its high hardness also means it can be worn every day without fear of damage.

Garnet as a fascinating mineral

Garnet is not a single mineral, but a large group of silicates with approximately fifteen different variations. Its final form and colour depend on its complex chemical composition, particularly the presence of elements like aluminium, iron, calcium, or manganese. The most well-known types include pyrope, almandine, and grossular. The stones used for this piece of jewellery come from certified mines in the Bahia region of Brazil, which is renowned for the quality of its minerals.

History and symbolic meaning

Garnet is one of the oldest gemstones used by humanity. Traces of it can be found in ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, and medieval Europe, where it adorned royal jewels and signet rings. In a cultural context, it has long been seen as a symbol of perseverance and deep determination. The psychology of its rich tones evokes a sense of inner strength and rational thinking in challenging situations. It was also traditionally worn as a protective amulet for people on long journeys.

Suitable for everyday wear

Minerals from the garnet group have excellent hardness, reaching 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. This gives the bracelet high mechanical resistance to scratching, making it suitable for everyday wear. To maintain the natural shine of its surface, protect it from contact with strong chemicals, such as perfumes or hairsprays. To clean the beads, all you need is a stream of lukewarm, clean water.
