Let’s face it, we are all still hungover from our NY celebrations and recovering from the holiday splurge, but there are plenty of ways to brighten up January. Especially if you are ringing in your birthday in the first month of the year, it needs to be extra special. JCPenney brings you an elegant collection of garnet jewelry (January birthstone). Whether you’re celebrating your own birthday or your loved ones, birthstone jewelry is the most meaningful and sentimental gift you can buy someone.
The Significance
Garnet, which means “pomegranate,” imbues a bold red hue taking after its parent. The gemstone is typically mined in delicious red color but also comes in orange, yellow, and purple (if red is a bit too much for your taste). They are known for keeping negative feelings at bay, boost confidence, mental clarity, creative thinking, and peace of mind. Do you need more reasons to kick start your new year better? We don’t think so.
Let’s Go a Few Decades Back
The vibrant garnet stone has a rich history that dates to the Bronze Age, Ancient Egypt, and Ancient Rome. The garnet signet rings were used as a stamp to wax important documents.
P.S. Here is a fun fact, garnets are often formed in volcanic environments making them a hard stone naturally. This means you never have to worry about chipping!
Gorgeous Styles You Can’t Get Enough
We all have this enigmatic fascination with the clarity and ethereal beauty of gemstones. They intrigue people with their natural existence, and in current times, birthstone jewelry is one of the most tried-and-tested fashion styles of all time. Garnet is mined in a rainbow of colors, but it’s well-known for its fierce shade of red, pleasant orange, and rich green. For instance, consider this garnet ring centered with fierce garnet stone and diamonds that will match your outgoing personality. You could also go for cocktail rings to make a statement wherever you go. Bring it in your everyday style with a simple and dainty garnet ring or go for a pair of studs that will add a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
