January Birthstones

                             New Year's babies are blessed with the birthstone of Garnet. A deep, evocative crystal stone. It is a semi-precious stone that symbolizes peace and health. Since it's the first month and the first birth stone, it is known as the "Gem of Faith." Garnets have been used since the bronze age. Ancient romans were fond of the dark, vivid, red stone using it as a symbol for life. It is now used for happiness, purity, and protection.
                          The name Garnet comes from the latin word "Granatum" meaning pomegranate, because of the large portion of red Garnets. Although they do also come in green, orange, yellow and pink.It is a double stone that does not scratch or break easily.
Our January Favorites are these deep red, Garnet earrings. Such a perfect asset to bring with you into the new year.
