All About Garnets the January Birthstone

Garnets are the traditional birthstone of those lucky babes born in the month of January. It is the stone of those born under the zodiac sign of Aquarius, and has been worn for centuries as a protective and powerful talisman.

Thousands of years ago, red garnet necklaces adorned the necks of Egypt’s pharaohs, and were entombed with their mummified corpses as prized possessions for the afterlife. In ancient Rome, signet rings with carved garnets were used to stamp the wax that secured important documents. Today garnets are beloved for their rich deep colors ranging from obsidian black to blood red.
