Let us help you know when and how to wear Garnet for special occasions and your average Tuesday.
Warm Tones of Garnet
Garnet is best known for its rich, deep red hues. While it can be found in other colors which we will discuss later. The warm tones of Garnet beautifully complement earthy colors like olive green, mustard yellow, and even soft neutrals. Pairing it with your wardrobe staples in these colors will create a great natural look.
Red garnet also pairs wonderfully with shades of burgundy, navy, and even blush pink. This creates a harmonious palette that’s visually appealing and feels elevated.
Try pairing garnet with beautiful turquoise blue-green. These two colors are complementary (opposite each other on the color wheel) and work really well together.
Casual Chic - Mountain Look
For a relaxed yet stylish look, garnet jewelry can be the perfect finishing touch. Imagine pairing a simple garnet pendant necklace with a cozy oversized sweater and your favorite jeans. This combination creates an effortlessly chic vibe that’s perfect for a day of exploring the Roaring Fork Valley or enjoying a casual lunch with friends.
Evening Elegance
When it’s time for a night out, garnet jewelry can help you make a statement. Picture yourself in a little black dress, the classic go-to for any evening occasion. Now, add a pair of stunning garnet earrings to the mix. The deep red of the garnet will create a striking contrast against the black fabric, making your accessories pop and drawing attention to your face.
To enhance the luxurious feel of your look, consider pair with other gold accessories. A delicate gold bracelet or a chic clutch can harmonize beautifully with the rich tones of garnet, creating a sophisticated and polished appearance.
Wear a Garnet Ring for Special Occasions
Garnet rings are stunning and very eye-catching. Wear them with care. We always say jewelry is meant to be worn and cherished, so adorn yourself in a Garnet ring for special occasions only. Garnet measures a 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness. This means that other stronger gemstones like Diamond, Sapphire and Ruby can scratch and damage the stone.
Layering Love and Colors
A jewelry trend that we are seeing continue in 2025 is layering jewelry. Like any of our natural gemstone or gold jewelry, Garnet is great to layer. A red garnet pendant can easily layer with a yellow gold chain. If you like the look you can try silver or even rose gold chains. Add dimension with a shorter pendant and a longer beaded necklace. Stacking bracelets or cuffs is also a nice look.
Garnets are commonly red but also come in an extraordinary range of beautiful colors, including orange, yellow, purple, and vibrant green. There are even garnets that change color from blue to purple in different lighting. Garnet varies in price depending on the color. It is an alternative to other more expensive gemstones
