Yes, the history of both pomegranates and garnets is fascinating, and really barely skimmed here. I especially love the idea that the many seeds of the pomegranate are compared to good deeds!

I have an artist friend who was obsessed with pomegranates and sculpted them in all different sizes! The red fruits are beautiful, especially the green "cape" at the stem. The fruit is mentioned in the old testament texts several times- Pomegranate shaped bells were sewn into the high priests (Kohanim) robes and decorated temple architecture. I guess ancient biblical designers were inspired by their shape. As in the necklace, its numerous seeds are compared to good deeds. I love the color of the garnets in the necklace- like red wine! I wouldn't be surprised if there are health benefits in wearing the necklace, just like the pomegranate. - Best, Lenore Thats a gorgeous piece of garnet artisan jewelry!
