Garnet Gemstones – January Birthstone
Gemstones have fascinated mankind since the beginning of time.

Natural garnets occur in a wide range of colours including orange, yellow, green, peach, purple, pink and brown. The gemstones are glassy in appearance allowing the stones to be cut into beautiful shapes to show off their brilliance and sparkle. The gemstones are frequently worn as pendant necklaces, stud and drop earrings and stunning rings, all jewellery box classics sure to stand the test of time. Over two decades ago a garnet cabochon set into a flower brooch from the Jackie Kennedy Onassis estate reached over $100,000 dollars at Sotherbys.
