Garnet Jewelry
January is normally one of the coldest months of the year and one way to warm it up is with the fiery red color of GARNET. Garnet is the birthstone of January. Garnet gemstones are typically known to be dark red in color, but can also be found in orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, pink, and even colorless. The most rare is the blue garnet.
The garnet is a rich looking, deep red color stone that always has a classy look in any jewelry style. It is a perfect color to warm up the fall and winter fashions.
As mentioned, the birthstone of January is the garnet gemstone and if your birthday falls in January, you share the garnet birthstone with many celebrities. Two of TV’s favorite leading men, Taye Diggs and Patrick Dempsey to People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” - Bradley Cooper, and as well as royalty of Kate Middleton all share the garnet birthstone.
