In Short
Garnet jewellery here pairs deep red stones with gold-filled wire and beaded strands, in earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
What Is This Collection?
Garnet is a group of related silicate minerals, most familiar in a deep red form. It has been used in jewellery for thousands of years and is hard enough for daily wear. Every piece is handcrafted by John S. Brana in his San Francisco studio.
What This Collection Includes
Cabochon and faceted drop earrings, beaded gemstone necklaces and 14K gold-filled chain maille bracelets.
How the pieces differ
Pieces differ by cut: cabochons give deep, even colour, while faceted stones sparkle and read brighter in evening light.
Who this collection suits
Anyone born in January, buyers who wear red and jewel tones, and people who want a hard-wearing coloured stone.
How to Choose
| Option | What it is | Who it suits | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cabochon garnets | Polished domes rather than facets | Deep, glowing colour | That you prefer glow to sparkle |
| Faceted garnets | Cut stones that return light | Evening wear | How bright it reads in daylight |
| Beaded strands | Garnet strung with pearls, amber and vermeil | Statement necklaces | Length and how busy the mix is |
| Chain maille bracelets | Garnet worked into woven gold-filled bands | Wrist wear with colour | Wrist measurement, since lengths are fixed |
Criteria that matter most
- Hardness – harder stones suit rings and daily wear; softer ones are safer in earrings and pendants
- Metal pairing – warm metals deepen warm stones, cool metals sharpen cool ones
- Natural variation – every stone differs in tone, so the photograph shows the style rather than the exact piece
- Care – store stones separately and keep them away from ultrasonic cleaners and jewellery dips

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What colour is garnet?
Most often a deep red through to burgundy, though the garnet group also occurs in other colours. The pieces here use the classic red.
Q2. Is garnet a birthstone?
Yes, garnet is the January birthstone, and it also marks the 2nd wedding anniversary.
Q3. How durable is garnet?
Hard enough for daily wear, at 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, which is comparable to quartz.
Q4. What is the difference between cabochon and faceted garnet?
A cabochon is polished into a smooth dome and gives deep, even colour. A faceted stone is cut with flat faces that return light, so it sparkles.
