Natural Garnet Jewelry
Garnets are typically red but come in an extraordinary range of beautiful colors, including orange, pinkish orange, yellow, deeply saturated purplish red, purple, vibrant green, and even some blues. Some garnets even change color from blue to purple in different lighting. Red garnets have a rich history and are one of the most common gemstones. Green Garnets, such as Demantoid and Tsavorite, are rare.
The garnet is believed to bring the wearer good health, wealth, and happiness. Those born in January are fortunate to have the gorgeous and diverse garnet as their birthstone. Garnet is the traditional gemstone for the second wedding anniversary. This gemstone is also compatible with the Earth and Fire elements, associated with the ♑ Capricorn zodiac sign and the Year of the Mouse.
