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.

I have purchased some overlay bracelets, and the overlay was obvious. Not the case here. The sheen of the metal setting was very nice, perhaps because of the use of 18K gold. This is quite a lovely bracelet and a super value. The garnets used were of good size, deep color, with uniform placement. The accent diamonds between each garnet were white to the eye and added genuine sparke. Such a pretty, feminine piece! The clasp was strong and appropriately sized. Just one of the "gifts" I have decided to keep for myself (Ha!), this will definitely be the bracelet I wear for Christmas!

Amazon ran this item about three weeks ago at a discount on top of a low price, netting the cost to about $16 (yes, really), including super saver shipping. At this price, the bracelet is well worth it. I read the other reviews carefully, especially regarding the cut of the garnets, which I subjected to my jeweler's loup. There is no question that these garnets are not the best cut; in fact, at least half of them look as if they were done by someone who was learning the craft. In addition, of the 24 stones, two of them have distinct chips along the main, large facet. But these flaws are really only visible using the loup, plus this bracelet is nice costume jewelry, not something high end. I was pleasantly surprised that the stones were more red (and color matched) than reddish brown like Amazon's picture. I also didn't think that the diamond flecks would add appreciably to the effect, but I was wrong; they do have sparkle and enhance the overall appearance. In my opinion the bracelet is worth up to $25 but no more because of the poor cut of the garnets.

I received this bracelet in a timely manner. I was surprised by how much heavier as it was than the same type of garnet braclet I had purchased 15 years ago from Penneys. I am disappointed to say that it did not even last 1 month. I ordered it in November and when I was wrapping Christmas presents, I looked down and the bracelet was sitting on the table and had broken right near the clasp...I was disappointed and returned it right away for a refund.
