A New Addition to the Sonoma Jewelry Collection - Merlot

October 29, 2006

I just finished working on this complete set of handcrafted 14K Gold Filled Chainmail featuring three sizes of Garnets. This set, along with individual sets in Amber, Amethyst, Pearls, and Serpentine can be found on my portfolio site under the Sonoma Collection

Here are some interesting factoids on Garnets:

Color: Red, Pink, Green, Orange, Yellow, Brown, Black
Birthstone: January (Modern & Traditional), May (Alternate)
Anniversary: 2nd, 6th (Alternate)
Occurrence: Worldwide
Rarity: Common
Temperaments: Love, Courage to Live, Stamina
Healing: Garnet regenerates the body. It stimulates the metabolism. Treats spinal and cellular disorders, purifies and reenergizes the blood, heart, and lungs, and regenerates DNA.
Attributes: Transparent or translucent crystal, often small and faceted or larger opaque piece.
Psychological: Garnet sharpens your perceptions of yourself and other people. It dissolves ingrained behavior patterns that are no longer serving you and bypasses resistance of self-induced unconscious sabotage.
Mental: It helps you let go of useless or old or obsolete ideas.
Emotional: Garnet removes inhibitions and taboos. It opens up the heart and bestows self-confidence.
