January's Birthstone • Symbolizing loyalty, friendship, and unwavering fidelity, it is also the anniversary stone for 18 years of marriage.

Learn About Garnet

"Garnet" is indeed derived from the red fruit "Pomegranate" because the garnet crystal resembles the shape and color of pomegranate seeds, hence the name "garnet." The common garnet is mostly red, but its color varieties are vast enough to cover the entire spectrum, and its actual color reflects the mineral content; if it contains manganese elements, it will exhibit green, which is our beloved Tsavorite; the sweet orange Spessartine reflects the presence of calcium manganese.

 

As the January Birthstone, it is also known as the "Stone of Women," symbolizing loyalty, friendship, and unwavering fidelity, and represents the hope and blessings of regaining hope and life energy. Garnet is also the 18th wedding anniversary stone, and the 18th anniversary is also called "Garnet Wedding."
