Gold Plated Silver bracelet with Garnet Gemstone 

Since ancient times, garnet's traditional red color was associated with the heart and blood. Thus, people believed garnet's mystical purview included the power to counter melancholy, stir the heart to great deeds, prevent hemorrhage, and improve circulation. The word "garnet" comes from the Latin word "granatus" for seed or grain, most likely a reference to the seeds of the pomegranate fruit.
