January Birth Stone

Those born in January are lucky to have the beautiful and diverse garnet as their birthstone. Garnets are commonly red but also come in an extraordinary range of beautiful colors, including orange, yellow, purple and vibrant green.  Some believe the true value of the garnet birthstone is its power to bring the wearer good health, wealth and happiness.  Its name originates from the medieval Latin granatus, meaning “pomegranate,” in reference to the similarity of the red color.
