Hessonite Garnet Rings in Sterling Silver  

What Makes Hessonite Garnet Rings Worth Wearing

Hessonite garnet gets its name from the Greek word 'hesson,' meaning inferior, though this refers only to its lower hardness compared to other garnets. The stone's characteristic golden-orange to reddish-brown color comes from manganese and iron content. Gem traders sometimes call it 'cinnamon stone' for its warm, spicy hues that range from light golden to deep brownish-red. The internal structure of hessonite creates a roiled or turbulent appearance that gemologists call the 'scotch in water' effect. This optical quality helps distinguish natural hessonite from imitations and gives each stone individual character. Stones in our collection display this natural inclusion pattern that confirms their authentic origin. SilverRush Style has supplied natural gemstone jewelry since 2005.
