Rhodolite Jewelry

Rhodolite, a form of garnet that ranges in color from pink to purple red, gets its name from the Greek word "rhodon," meaning rose. Rhodolite is usually lighter in color than other types of red garnet and is sometimes mistaken for a ruby. Travelers in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome wore rhodolites to protect themselves from evil. They also believed it would light their way in the darkness.

Rhodolite: Everything's Rosy

Rhodolites are ideal gemstones for necklaces, rings, earrings and more. They can be easily cut into many shapes and provide impressive brilliance. Rhodolites are most often found in water-worn pebbles and volcanic rock.

Our jewelry designers favor rhodolites for multi-gemstone settings. The lively, rosy shades add excitement and intrigue to earrings, rings and necklaces. Rhodolites look especially chic when paired with amethyst, and can be mounted in silver or gold.

Rhodolite deposits are found in Africa, Brazil, India, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand and the United States.
