January's Birthstone is Garnet

Sterling Silver Chain maille Earrings with Square Cut Garnet

Shopping for January babies? Garnet is their birthstone and it's an absolute crowd-pleaser, suiting just about anyone.

Garnet is a very energizing stone which cleanses the chakras, bringing passion or serenity as needed. It inspires love and balances the sex drive, and is an excellent stone for times of crisis. Garnet is also protective when worn traveling, and opens the heart and makes the wearer more confident.

Garnet has been used as a gemstone and an abrasive since the bronze age. It has a large number of varieties and colors, including grossular , rhodonite and tsavorite, but is most commonly known in its beautiful, deep-red form.
