We're all about the depth and romance of January's garnet birthstone to warm up this winter chill. There's just something about this sophisticated gemstone—in its shades of classic red to deep maroon to rich, honeyed orange and even purple—that makes it the perfect match for the season (and for the ambitious and disciplined nature of Capricorn babies).
Garnet has been treasured for centuries as a symbol of protection, strength, and commitment. Ancient Egyptians wore garnet amulets for protection in both life and the afterlife, while Roman soldiers believed it would keep them safe in battle.
In the Middle Ages, garnet was thought to bring courage, truth, and friendship to its wearer. Today, garnet remains a favorite for many of our artists in fine, handmade jewelry that is moth modern and totally timeless.
Garnet pairs beautifully with warm yellow gold, whether you're stacking up dainty rings, rocking some garnet drop earrings, or choosing a bolder statement piece for a special occasion.
Explore our collection of January birthstone jewelry to find a meaningful gift for someone you love (that includes you). It's the perfect way to start the year with bold, radiant energy.
