Garnets are exceptionally beautiful gemstones found in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, green, brown, and even colorless. The most well-known is the red garnet or Rhodolite. The most distinctive ones include the orange version: Mandarin garnet, the purple garnets: Royal Purple garnet, and the green garnets: Tsavorite. Celine Roelens incorporates stunning garnets in all colors into her collections, carefully selecting the most exceptional specimens.

The name "garnet" originally comes from the medieval Latin word granatus, meaning "pomegranate," referring to the resemblance in the red color. Garnet has been used in jewelry since Ancient Greece and Egypt, as well as in ancient Rome.

In the Smithsonian Institute, one of the world's most prestigious museums and research centers, you can find this antique hairpin. A large rose-cut garnet adorns the top. The pyrope garnet stones that decorate this tiara-like jewel came from the historic mines in Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic), and these beautiful red gemstones were extremely popular during the Victorian era (1837-1901), when this piece was created.
