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.

Color lots must differ significantly,

This review is from: Sterling Silver Marcasite and Garnet Colored Glass Teardrop Earrings (Jewelry)
I received the matching heart pendant for these earrings last year. The necklace heart was clearly a red garnet color. Yesterday I received these earrings bought to wear with the pendant, but the earrings are a definite brown - more smokey topaz than garnet. They are not heavy so would be comfortable to wear. The back is flat, but the silver filligree is there so each earring piece looks "finished"- if that was putting you off buying these, don't let that deter you. I do love how the silver-work shows through the "stone" if back-lighted. I'm disappointed about the color but have some brown outfits I can wear with them, even if I can't wear them with the "matching" necklace.

Damaged on arrival,
By Lisa B. "Lisa B." (Lawton, OK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sterling Silver Marcasite and Garnet Colored Glass Teardrop Earrings (Jewelry)
I read all the reviews for both the earrings and the pendant necklace and decided to purchase them anyway, even though some had said these items were not worth the money. I should have listened. When the earrings arrived one of the stones had completely came loose from the sterling silver. It was only being held on by one tiny portion of glue at the base of the stone in the first place. I was affraid the other earring would fall apart too, and I was concerned about the quality of the necklace as well, so I returned them both. The return process was easy, and unfortunately was the most pleaseant part of my shopping experience. I advise strong caution when ordering this item!

These earrings are a perfect size - not too heavy, which nearly scared me off. They are tear shaped, rounded in the front, but FLAT in the back. This is interesting as the silver fleurs on the back show through adding interest. The earrings I purchased are a deeper red than pictured. Product shipped boxed, with Amazon jewelry care card (so, recipient will realize you got these online and not at a jewelry store).
