About Washington Garnet

Washington Garnet is sourced from Washington State, USA, where garnet crystals formed naturally within metamorphic rock over millions of years. Rather than being cut into individual faceted gemstones, the stone is polished to preserve the beautiful natural crystal formations created by geological processes.

The combination of rich greens and the pale surrounding matrix makes every piece completely unique, allowing the natural beauty of the stone to remain the focal point.

Why Choose Washington Garnet?

Washington Garnet offers something quite different from traditional garnet jewellery. Instead of showcasing a single polished gemstone, it celebrates garnet in its natural geological setting, revealing the mineral exactly as it formed within the host rock. Its earthy appearance makes it an excellent choice for collectors who appreciate unusual gemstones and naturally occurring mineral specimens.

Why Choose A Barrel Shape?

The barrel shape is one of the most popular European charm bead designs thanks to its balanced proportions and generous curved surface. It provides ample room to display the natural garnet crystals while sitting comfortably alongside sterling silver and other gemstone beads.

Approximate Dimensions

• Diameter: Approximately 16mm
• Width: Approximately 11mm
• Core Hole: Approximately 4.4mm

Compatibility

The solid sterling silver core is designed to fit most European-style charm bracelet systems including Pandora®, Trollbeads®, OHM®, Chamilia® and similar bracelets.

Caring For Your Washington Garnet Bead

Clean gently using a soft lint-free cloth and warm water if required. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners and unnecessary impacts. Store separately from harder gemstones to help maintain the polished finish.
