*JANUARY BIRTHSTONE – GARNET*
“Her who in January was born
No gem save garnets shall be worn
They will ensure her constancy
True friendship and fidelity”
Symbolises peace, prosperity and good health.
Some say it even has the power to give the wearer eternal happiness, health and wealth.
The word Garnet is derived from the Latin “graatum” which means seed, and is called so because of the gemstone’s resemblance to the beautifully red seeds of the pomegranate.
The folklore on garnet is extensive. Legend has it that the garnet can bring peace, prosperity and good health to the home. Some even call it the “Gem of Faith” and it’s believed that to those who wear it and do good, more good will come.
The garnet also symbolised deep and lasting friendship. With that legend in mind, give a garnet to someone whose friendship you deeply value.
