Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Simple but striking, these garnet stud earrings are an eye-catching accent for everyday wear. Round garnet stones are showcased in four-prong basket settings of sterling silver and set on posts with friction-back closures. The stones have a rich orange-red color and a faceted cut. January's birthstone is prized for its rich natural color and its notable brilliance, a quality derived from garnet's particularly high refraction of light.
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.

Perfectly colored garnets,

My wife went crazy over them. She has many pieces of garnet jewelry and was very pleased with the color (a reddish brown). The settings are attractivie and secure. She couldn't be happier with them!

This review is from: Sterling Silver 6mm Round Garnet Stud Earrings (Jewelry)
I was nervous buying these, but I figured that I couldn't really go too wrong for the price. I was not at all disappointed, but was instead quite pleased. I was immediately in love with the color... they are a deep red, very rich, I don't detect any brown in the pair I received. They are very brilliant, if I keep them clean, and so far I do that only by wiping them with a cloth or a little brush. They are the perfect size to wear alone, not too big or small. The one thing I did was switch out the backings for the round, platter types because the ones that came with the earrings are so tiny, I was afraid I'd lose the earrings. Now I wear them every single day. I'm so glad I bought them, and I recommend them to any garnet-lover.
