Garnets are highly valued for their impressive brilliance. The Garnet rivals the more expensive gemstones and is often associated with protection, loyalty and friendship. Believed to bring positive energy and emotional healing.
There is a extensive history of the garnet being used as a talisman for protection during ones travels and has long been a symbol of eternal love, which makes it a perfect choice for loved ones and couples.
The January birthstone is so striking! It is so versatile in the aspect of change. Garnet is most commonly associated with a vibrant red color; resembling the color of a pomegranate seed but the Garnet can be a variety of shades. Green, red and purple are common for garnets of all varieties.
If you are anything like me and like to design your jewelry; Garnets present a whole new reign of ideas for rings, earrings, necklaces or anything of the like. I love that you can have red, green, or purple. If you have more than one January birthstone, if you are making a mother's ring or something similar there are different colors to be loved in the same gorgeous stone.
If you like different styles; garnets of different varieties can be perfect for bands, wraps or stacking. Also great for ANY finger rings. Garnets can be a amazing choice for an Engagement Ring first and foremost but can be perfect for a Thumb ring, First Finger ring or even a Knuckle ring. Tsavorite garnets are a brilliant vivid green, while Pyrope and Almandine garnets provide the rich purples, orangish red and brownish reds making this gemstone suitable for so many occasions.
The Garnet is durable enough for everyday wear and still maintains it's gorgeous shine and brilliance. On the Mohs scale they are a 6.5 to 7.5 which proves great for consistent shine.
Like all gemstones, the proper care maintains it's brilliance. Cleaning can be done by a professional or with mild soap and water. Harsh chemical cleaners and ultrasonic machines should be avoided to prevent any damage.
The garnet offers timeless beauty and practical wearability. There are a wide range of colors and the affordability makes it a popular choice for everyday jewelry and also special occasions. The rich color and symbolism makes the Garnet a wonder and a meaningful choice for anyone born in January or truly anyone in general. It's a perfect choice!!
