January Birthstone - Garnet

The rich red garnet stone signifies health, vitality, and passion. It’s also believed by some to protect the person who wears it. It makes for a beautiful and meaningful gift for January birthdays, and is also the perfect gift for any milestone occasion, or just because, for any of your loved ones who would appreciate its symbolism.

Garnet is an eye-catching gemstone, so it is perfect if you’re looking for a statement piece of jewellery. It will add plenty of sparkle and colour to your look on its own, especially as a bold ring, paired with a diamond halo, or in a pair of elegant drop earrings.

Although rhodolite garnet is a strongly coloured gem, it’s also surprisingly versatile. Its brown and burgundy undertones will complement the rest of your jewellery, and it’s flattering against all skin tones.

At Michael Hill, our garnet jewellery is often crafted with a setting of rose gold, which helps to amplify the stone’s red colour. Style your garnet piece with other rose gold jewellery for an easy way to mix and match.
