Silver cross with a scattering of natural Czech garnet

A cross with natural Czech garnet is a stylish and bright accessory. It has a symbolic meaning and serves as a talisman or complement the original image. Garnet is a stone of exceptional beauty, so there is no point in giving the cross a complicated and ornate shape. This will detract from the unique cut and inner facets of the bright stone. A restrained laconic shape is the best choice for a stone with strong energy and eye-catching beauty. The cross looks very nice on a silver chain. Moreover, you should choose a simple weaving, which will emphasize the beauty of the pendant. The weight of the cross is 1.4 grams. Consider the weight of the product in relation to the weight of the chain so that the links do not break.
 

How to care of a garnet cross

Garnet or pyrope, as it is called at home in the Czech Republic, is a fairly strong mineral. Its strength on the Mohs scale is 7.5. The most durable diamond stone has 9 points. Therefore, do not worry that the pomegranate will be scratched or split. However, it is worth protecting it from sudden temperature changes. Do not wear pyrope jewelry to the beach, sauna or gym. After prolonged exposure to the sun, wrap the cross in a soft cloth and place in a dark place. This will help maintain the vibrant color and luster of the stone. Wash your jewelry in warm running water. Do not rub it with a hard washcloth or brush. This will not damage the stone, but it may damage the frame. The cross is made of high quality 925 sterling silver. Rhodium plating provides reliable protection against oxidation and darkening of the metal. With proper care, the cross stitch will serve you for years.

The legend of the garnet

Once the Georgian ruler decided to give in marriage his daughter. But before that, the groom had to pass a difficult test.  In the distant desert, there was a magic tree that gave only three fruits a year. He was guarded by evil spirits. One young man managed to get them, but when he returned, a terrible famine overtook the country, and the king fell seriously ill. Then the young man opened the first magic fruit, and the king immediately recovered. When he opened the second fruit, lush orchards bloomed across the country, which fed the hungry. When the young man opened the third fruit, beautiful stones like pomegranate seeds poured out of it and scattered all over the world. Since then, they bring happiness to those who find them.
