Care and Cleaning
When we think of garnets we usually envision an orangish red gemstone, such as a pyrope, but garnet is a gem group not a variety of gemstone. There are more than fourteen different gemstone varieties that belong to the garnet family  and these come in a variety of different colours including pink, red, violet, orange, brown, yellow, green, black and colourless.
 
Pyrope’s are perhaps the most well known of the garnet family and is readily available on the market. The name pyrope comes from the Greek word 'fiery-eyed' as the finest pyropes have a glowing red colour. 
 
Pyrope is a relatively hard gemstone but it may still scratch is it is worn without care or stored next to other harder gemstones jewellery. 
Pyropes are relatively stable gems but sudden temperate changes can cause fractures. 
 
To prolog the life of the stones we always recommend that your earrings are put in after any hair products, makeup or perfumes are applied.  
 
Pyropes are not often treated, if they are it is usually a stable heat treatment to improve their colour. 
Garnets are usually fine to be ultrasonic cleaned but steam cleaning may damage the stone due to the sudden increase in temperature. You can clean your garnet jewellery from home using a jewellery and gemstone cleaning bath that can be purchased from us or by using warm soapy water and a soft brush.
