Jewelery Tv Guide | Birthstones-January Garnet

Jewelry gifts can be difficult to decide on, but one good idea is always birthstones. In this post I will focus on the birthstone for January, the Garnet.

History of the Garnet:
Garnets were employed in jewels and for other decorative purposes for millenia, as far back as 3100BC when garnetswe valued for fine jewelry in necklaces for the god-kings and were buried along with them in the tombs of pharoahs. Cut garnets have been found on ancient Roman signet rings and were popular in the Middle Ages with clergy and the wealthy.Around 1600 AD Czechoslovakian garnets became popular in Victorian england, a popularity that lasted well into the 20th century. Red Garnets are still the most popular, however green and orange have seen increased interest.

The name "garnet" comes from the Latin word granatus, translated as "grain." It may also come from the word pomegranate because some garnets look like pomegranate seeds.

Garnets are commonly found in shades of red and purplish-red (pyrope, almandite), oranges (spessartite, hessonite), yellows (andradite, hessonite, grossularite), and greens (andradite, grossularite, tsavorite, uvarovite). Grossularite garnets show the widest color range of all garnets, with various shades of yellow, orange, reds, and greens.

Garnets are a popular gemstone suitable for necklaces, bracelets, rings and other types of fine Jewelry.
