As we welcome the new year, we also celebrate those who have birthdays this month.
The official birthstone for January, garnet, is an unsung hero of gemstones. It often goes under the radar in gemstone conversations yet is a magnificent material that has depth and personality.
The rich, deep hue of red garnet can be found in some of the world’s most famous pieces of jewelry. The red variety’s abundance makes the stone an excellent choice for a bold gemstone look that doesn’t break the bank.
The garnet family also includes tsavorite with its spectacular green color, while orange spessartite garnets and pink Malaya garnets are just some of the other color options available.
Here are 12 glorious pieces of garnet jewelry to explore.
