In China culture, pomegranate is regarded as a symbol of good luck, so garnet is also widely used in jewelry. However, some people think that garnet is not suitable for wearing, because its color is bright, but it is also easy to fade, especially in the environment of long-term exposure to sunlight, high temperature, strong acid and alkali, which will easily lead to the color fading of garnet and affect its aesthetics.
