Gems and jewelleries always kindle passion in the hearts of women. Because jewellery is the ultimate word, so far as the eternal appeal of feminine beauty is concerned. The term beauty however, never acquired a universal definition. Beauty is an idea that changes with time and place. For the 21st century women, beauty is rather a state of mind which becomes more and more alluring while accompanied by a proper sense of fashion and style. The art of fashion today has become rather thematic with the creative use of different kinds of jewelleries and other accessories. While some jazzy junk ornament can provide a sporty look, with the master stroke of a diamond solitaire pendant, its wearer gets an elegant corporate appearance. But there are moments in every woman’s life, when she banks upon her feminine appeal to make a romantic statement. To add the right color to your life at these moments of emotion, of passion, or celebration, there is nothing as appropriate as a piece of garnet.

When it comes to the time to convey a romantic message, settle on nothing smaller than a garnet bracelet. Just imagine a row of fierce red garnet draping your slender wrist that results in a sweet display of glitter with every movement of your arm. It will surely be an out of the world experience for both you as well as for those who behold you. This brilliant gemstone carrying the air of Victorian Europe has always been admired by the jewellery designers for its excellent hardness that is recorded at 7 to 7.5 at the Mohs scale of hardness. The high refraction index of the stone renders it an amazing clarity that makes it look extraordinary in any shape or cuts. It is important to note that brilliance and hardness- these two factors together make for the value of this stone.

It is nothing but a load of confidence that one accrues with a bejeweled and resplendent appearance. In earlier days this glow of confidence used to be interpreted as beauty. For today’s modern, liberated women the definition of beauty transcends the physical connotation and reaches out to include cerebral elements to create an individual fashion statement. So the intricacy and detailing has become the key word in every aspect of jewellery making, from selection of the material to the designing of the piece. With garnet in the helm of the affairs, the design possibilities are countless.

First of all, bracelets look truly beautiful only when they are properly fitted. Conventionally, they are supposed to be worn a little above the wrist and clung to your hand in a way that does not give an uncomfortable feel or should not be too loose that it slips down onto your hands. In addition to that you must ensure that the inner side of your bracelet is properly polished so it does not create irritation on your skin. Secondly, because, bracelets are worn in the area of the body that often confronts knocks and pressure, the stones of the bracelets often run the risk of being torn out of the set. This requires that stones should be guarded by prongs or bezels. This also prevents the stones from getting scratched. Third important consideration relates to the device that helps to wear it and take it off. So far as a garnet bracelet is concerned, use of a terminal can be an excellent decision. A terminal is a device that is meant to decorate the open ends of the bracelet and a shank attached to it allows an easy slipping on and off from the bracelet. On the tips of these terminals you can add a couple of small stones of contrast color that would make the piece even more attractive. A clasp can also be used as a device for the same purpose. Only the device should be in harmony with the overall design of the piece. Fourthly, the metal should be chosen with care. Because, the metal is not only meant to accompany the stone but it is the duty of the metal to uphold the beauty of stone. The extra ordinary glow of this stone is most appropriately accompanied by the magnificence of yellow gold. For an antique look, a small proportion of copper can be mixed with the gold. Any white metal like silver is generously used in crafting garnet bracelet. A very interesting option of metal is stainless steel which is being extensively used by the modern designers. Then, In order to add the touch of opulence, you can blend it with small pieces of diamond.
