Why Garnet
Garnet is a naturally occurring silicate mineral, its deep red color the result of iron and aluminum content. One of the oldest known gemstones, used for thousands of years across cultures worldwide. A traditional January birthstone, associated with the root chakra (Muladhara). Long associated with vitality and courage. It is chosen for its deep red warmth, its smooth teardrop form, and its grounding, energizing presence. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful stone with a meaning that fits real life.

How This Handmade Garnet Ring Is Made
Each teardrop garnet ring is made to order in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select every stone for its color depth and form, then encase it in copper using traditional electroforming techniques. Copper grows directly around the stone through an electrical process, forming the band organically. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every handmade gemstone ring from this studio is one of a kind.

Care
Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Store dry. Garnet is relatively durable — the copper is the part to protect. Let the antique patina deepen naturally with wear, or polish gently with a soft cloth to brighten.
