For the moments that require courage, not just confidence.
The stones: This talisman pairs two stones associated with heat, warmth and fire: pyrope-almandine garnet and tiger eye.
The faceted garnet beats are untreated. Their deep red colour is naturally occuring, thanks to iron and manganese. This is the same mineral chemistry that gives red to rust, blood and the earth after rain.
The tiger's eye is AA-quality, its excellent cut enhancing its chatoyant effect. This is the ability of light to run in a line across the surface of the stone, thanks to tiger eye’s underlying granular structure.
Why these stones for Fire: Garnet has been a wayfarer's stone since antiquity, and was found in Viking jewellery, Anglo-Saxon warrior burials and Roman signet rings alike. It was carried for courage and resolve during journeys and transitions. Tiger's eye, on the other hand, is what gemologist call a pseudomorph. It started life as fibrous asbestos, which over centuries was replaced by crystalline quartz. It is a literal testament to the transformative properties of heat, pressure and time.
Together, they form a picture of fire not as destructive force but transformative energy.
The talisman: Wear this when you need to act or change — not when you're sure, but when you're sure enough.
Materials: Faceted garnet rondelles, faceted AA-quality tiger's eye, vegan silk, gold-filled clasp
Length: 16 inches
Construction: Hand-strung and finished with gold-filled fastenings for durability and longevity
Lead Time: Available now
