After 1760 the production of fake jewellery spread to London and to Birmingham. Steel which was produced easily during the industrial revolution was used for settings for marcasite and jasper ware cameos. Its earliest use as adornment could be traced back to around 3,000 B.C., as evidenced by remnants of garnet jewelry found in the Nile Delta. Glass and Wedgwood porcelain paste cameos were made in English factories and were very popular too. When Napoleon eventually emerged as Emperor of France in 1804 he revived jewellery and fashion as a new court of pomp and ostentatious display evolved.
Ornate shoe buckles of paste, steel and tin were part of fashionable dress. The members of the new French imperial family had the former French royal family gems re-set in the latest neo-classical style. A similar fad at this time were elaborate paste jewelled buttons, fashionable in British society. However, it was the Greeks who gave this gemstone its name. As well as fake jewellery gaining popularity, semi precious jewels such as uncut garnets became usual as part of less formal day dress.
As one of few ancient gemstones existing today, Garnets have found their exclusive place under the sun. The Garnet is an exceptionally versatile gemstone. Ancient Egyptians have created bracelets, necklaces, and other body adornment made from this hard stone. History reveals the Though it is popular by a couple of varieties called the Almandine and Pyrope, whose rich hues runs from dark red to brownish red, name was largely influenced by its physical appearance, more specifically of its color and the way it clumps itself together like the pomegranate fruit–and yes you guessed it right this was the fruit this gemstone was named after.
The Garnet has dark and light hues, some with translucent properties and one that exudes a rainbow of color, including pink, red, purple, orange, yellow, violet, green, and albeit rarely black & brown. These new trends in jewellery were copied in Europe and particularly England. Interestingly enough, its hardness has also been a popular tool to use as an abrasive for wood, metal, plastic, glass and leather. Greek and Roman architecture were the main influence for designs as famous discoveries of ancient treasure had not yet happened. Once upon a time, it was even used as bullets by tribes in the East.
