Maybe someone could look up the gemology of Sardonyx and find out if it can be made from garnet and pearl (the actual gems). "Garnet is not a single mineral, but a group containing closely related, isomorphous minerals that form a series with each other."

"Pearls are organic gemstones that are formed by shelled mollusks, mainly bivalved oysters and mussels."

Since Sardonyx is a type of quartz, I'm starting to have my doubts. >_>
