Red Star Garnet Information
Red star garnet beads showcase a stunning asterism effect, creating a captivating star-like pattern on their surface. The deep red hue enhances their allure and makes them highly sought after. Each bead reflects light beautifully, revealing different facets of its charm. This unique optical phenomenon draws attention and sparks curiosity.
Fashion and Jewelry
Red star garnet beads elevate jewelry designs with their distinctive appearance. Designers incorporate them into various styles, including modern and traditional pieces. They work beautifully in necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Artisans often combine these beads with gold or silver settings, creating striking contrasts. These pieces become statement accessories, perfect for special occasions or everyday wear.
History, Mythology, and Symbolism
Throughout history, many cultures have revered garnets as symbols of protection and strength. In ancient Egypt, people believed garnets offered safety during travels. Native Americans viewed garnets as healing stones, promoting emotional balance. The star effect symbolizes guidance and direction in life. Legends often associate garnets with courage, vitality, and passion.
Mining, Production, and Applications
Red star garnet beads primarily come from mines in India and the United States. Miners extract the garnet from metamorphic rocks, known for their durability. After extraction, craftsmen carefully cut and polish the stones to highlight their asterism. Proper cutting enhances the star pattern, making the beads even more appealing. Red star garnet remains popular in jewelry, as people seek its beauty and metaphysical properties. Artisans also use these beads in spiritual practices, believing they promote confidence and courage.

Care Guide
- Cleaning: Gently clean the 18k gold-plated hooks and stainless steel components with a soft, dry cloth. To clean the semi-precious stone beads, use a damp cloth to wipe them and dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaning solutions that could damage the gold plating or stones.
- Storage: Store the earrings in a dry, cool place, ideally in a fabric pouch or jewelry box. To avoid scratching, keep them separate from other jewelry items. Always store earrings away from extreme temperatures and humidity to preserve the gold plating and stone quality.
- Gold Plating Care: 18k gold plating is delicate and can wear off with prolonged exposure to moisture, lotions, perfumes, or harsh chemicals. To extend the life of the gold plating, remove earrings before swimming, showering, or applying beauty products. Clean the gold-plated hooks gently with a soft cloth to maintain their shine.
- Stainless Steel & Stone Bead Care:
- Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is durable and resistant to tarnish. However, it may still discolor if exposed to moisture or chemicals. Wipe stainless steel components regularly with a cloth to maintain their luster.
- Semi-Precious Stone Beads: Stone beads are naturally sturdy but may be sensitive to chemicals and extreme temperatures. Avoid exposing them to perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics. Gently wipe them with a soft cloth to remove dirt, and avoid soaking them in water. Stones like lapis lazuli, turquoise, and agate can be particularly sensitive to prolonged moisture.
- General Durability: Handle with care to avoid impacts or abrasions that could damage the gold plating or stones. Avoid wearing the earrings during activities that involve excessive sweating, such as exercise, or sleeping, as this can cause wear over time.
Size Guide
Oathfeed Classic Design
6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm.
Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos.
In newer designs, the stainless steel spacer daisies, bead caps and small beads contribute 3-4mm extra length (refer to product photo)
Weight Priciples
In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the overview tab.
Note that some earring hooks have thicker wires, and if you are not used to wearing earrings daily, using them will feel uncomfortable in the beginning.
