2nd Anniversary Gift

2nd anniversary rings traditionally feature the deep, rich reds, reddish-brown, or fiery orange of garnets. Garnets, because of their typical bright red hues, have long been associated with love and romance. However, if you prefer green, you can instead choose the bright vibrancy of green garnets, though these tend to be smaller and green garnets are much rarer.

About 2nd Anniversary Gift

Garnets have been well-loved gemstones since the first gemstone jewelry. Bronze Age, Ancient Egyptian, and medieval European jewelry often featured its rich glows, and it has never been out of fashion since. During the late Renaissance, explorers found huge deposits of high-quality garnets in what was then called Bohemia, and increased access made it even more popular as a love token. This association with romance makes garnets ideal for 2nd anniversary rings.

2nd Anniversary Ring Designs

There are more than 20 types of garnets, with the differences based on tiny amounts of trace chemicals. In addition to red and green, there are also yellow, brown, and black garnets, though these last are rare in jewelry.

• Vibrant Color - The word “garnet” comes from pomegranate, because the stone resembles the vibrant color of pomegranate seeds.
  
• Different Colors - Pyrope is the most used type of garnet in jewelry, with a rich red. Almandine garnet is darker, with purplish or brown tones. Hessonite tends towards orange and orange- brown. There are even more, with a color to suit any taste in second anniversary rings.
• Timeless Eras - Garnets had a resurgence in popularity during the Victorian era, and many Victorian rings and other jewelry pieces used garnets in seed-like patterns to create more elaborate arrangements.
• Accent Gemstones - Pearls and diamonds are popular to pair with garnets, either enhancing the rich luster of the garnet or adding more sparkle to the engagement rings or jewelry.
