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.

These earrings looked so pretty the way they were shown on Amazon, but I felt cheated when I received them, they were really, really tiny!!

This review is from: 10k Yellow Gold Checker Board Cushion Cut Citrine Stud Earrings (Jewelry)
From previous reviews and the measurements given on the item's page I decided to go ahead and order these as I don't like large stud earrings on my small earlobes and being a November child, I love citrine and topaz. As one of the reviews stated these are like a child's earrings and they are correct, but more-so, and even though I do not/would not advocate piercing infant's ears, these are actually more to the baby-infant size. The measurements given on the product page list the earrings being 0.2 x 0.16 inches. Each stone setting, of the pair I received, are square at 0.12 inches or approximately 1/8 inch square. If you wear your hair short and cut around the ears like I do, these are still very nice and visible earrings to wear on the ears. For those having two or multiple ear piercing(s) or have piercing(s) in other parts, these would work as well and shine and glimmer very nicely. Although the posts are short (again that child/infant size) and would not work in thick lobes or parts of the body that would require longer posts to remain secure. The small stones are of excellent citrine quality and appear genuine--they better be in regards to the size and price. For even though they appear to be good quality they are still very, very small.

I was so disappointed with these earrings. The picture was deceiving. They are very, very tiny......more like something a very small child would wear.
