But what if I told you that there's more to garnet than just the traditional red we know and love?
The History Behind the Lovely Garnet
The word “garnet” relates to the Greek word for “pomegranate.” These gems share the same color as the tiny red fruit seeds within the fruit. Also, garnet is said to bring self-awareness and assertiveness to its owner. Makes sense to us! After all, the striking red associated with garnet is breathtakingly bold.
The Many Shades of Garnet
Did you know that garnet doesn't only come in red? Garnet can come in every shade of the rainbow… well, every shade except blue.There's even black and colorless varieties of garnet. Who knew?
January's Birthstone
If you have a birthday in January, you get to claim garnet as your birthstone. If you're not a fan of red, don't forget the other shades of garnet out there. After all, it's your birthstone.
Choosing garnet isn't a hard choice to make. But choosing the best style, cut, and color for you? Well, only you can decide that. But you've got this, girl! We believe in you.
