The garnet story
The reason why garnet implies a wonderful love is related to the love story between the famous German poet Goethe and his wife. It is said that Christiane Vulpius met Goethe at a dance and fell for Goethe's talents. After the prom, she took the initiative to get in touch with Goethe's contact information. After a few months, Goethe gave Christiane Vulpius a chain of garnet, which is used as a symbol of love.
Because the age difference between the two was too large, family members on both sides began to resist their love after knowing that they were in love. The family's resistance did not affect the love between the two. Every time Christiane Vulpius went on a date, she wore a garnet necklace because she believed that garnet could convey the message of love between lovers and keep her love. Later, the family was moved across the age limit by the love of the two and they agreed to be together. After their love story became known to the public, people have since felt that garnet can bring two people in love together and protect their love.
