Czech Garnet & Wollem

June 17, 2019

Garnet gemstone is a type of stone that is mined in a few places around the world. What makes Czech garnet special is its pomegranate red color that has a clarity and color balance of light blood. It reflects the light in its own unique harmony.

Czech garnet is currently very limited in its amount and size options. It is also much more sensitive than other garnets which makes it even harder to manufacture. In our manufacturing process there have been many broken stones because we are using the smallest size of garnets possible and the smaller it gets the more sensitive it becomes.The smaller the stone, the harder to maintain the desired color, and harder to keep it from braking. But at the end you will understand the reason why we are working so hard to use such small stones when you hold your jewelry in your hand and see the highest amount of stones designed to fit perfectly into its beautiful shape. Their color and clarity combined into one harmonious look! Understanding the subtlety of this balance between color, size, clarity and the overall design of the jewelry we decided to focus on bringing the best color & look of whatever gemstone we choose to manufacture.

Rejection Process

The elegance of Wollem products is mainly defined by two priorities: The size of the stones and the color & clarity balance. The high number of stones provided by the smallest sizes maintaining the color & clarity balance is the key to the unique delicacy of Wollem jewelry. The process of manufacturing the perfect piece is difficult and requires the right amount of time and patience, which is why when necessary we reject most of the finished products and send them back to manufacturing to maintain our defined harmony.
