The symbol

As January's birthstone, garnet has been worn for nearly 5,000 years, with the oldest known garnet jewelry dating to a Sumerian necklace from around 3100 BC. It is long associated with friendship, safe return, and steadfast loyalty.

About this stone

Garnet is not one mineral but a family of six closely related silicates. The Mozambique variety set in these studs is a pyrope-almandine blend whose deep ruby color comes from trace iron and chromium. The name comes from the Latin granatum, meaning pomegranate seed. Curated by a certified gemologist.

Care and wear

Garnet is durable enough for daily wear. Remove before swimming in chlorinated pools or applying hair products. Clean with mild soap and warm water, dried with a soft cloth.
