About Birthstone Jewelry

January Birthstone: Garnet

Garnets come in a variety of colors but are best known for their deep red shade. January's birthstone is associated with faithfulness, sincerity, truth, and grace, and those born in this month are said to be loyal, devoted friends.

History of Birthstones

Chances are you can name your birthstone, but have you ever wondered how certain stones came to be associated with particular months? Most gem scholars trace the tradition to the Old Testament story of Aaron, whose breastplate was decorated with twelve precious stones, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Over time, these stones were linked with certain powers and tied to particular astrological signs, and later to calendar months.

There are many variations of birthstone lists, including Mystical birthstones, which originate from Tibet and date back over a thousand years, and Ayurvedic birthstones, associated with ancient Indian medicine and beliefs. Birthstones have also been tied to ancient Pagan religions, and even to the collective wisdom of the legendary lost city of Atlantis.

The Modern birthstone list, perhaps the most universally known, was released by the American National Association of Jewelers and officially adopted in 1912. Whether you embrace birthstone lore, or look upon it with a skeptical eye, there is an undeniable appeal to collecting a beautiful gemstone that is reputed to hold special power, meaning, and good fortune just for you.

This review is from: 10k White Gold, January Birthstone, Garnet and Diamond Pear Shaped Ring, Size 5 (Jewelry)

I am giving it as a wedding band with another band. It looks a lot bigger in the picture. Also you can hardly see the diamonds. She wanted a garnet to go with her wedding band that matched and it did. It looks good. Just a little small in my opinion. Today is the big wedding day and she hasnt seen it yet so I hope she likes it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really liked it a lot more than I thought I would, October 9, 2010

I bought it even though I wasn't thrilled it was 10k, and the other reviewer gave it 3 stars for being smaller than he thought it woulld be, I am personally very happy with this ring, btw, I got it at a discounted price and that made it 100 times better!
