January's birthstone shines in this pretty solitaire pendant,
featuring an 8mm faceted round of deep red garnet, held in a
four-prong basket setting of sterling silver. Appointed with a
split bale, the pendant slides along a delicate 18-inch light
rope chain. Garnet is prized for its rich natural color and its
notable brilliance, a quality derived from its particularly high
refraction of light.

January Birthstone: Garnet
Garnets come in a variety of colors but are best known for their
deep red shade. January's birthstone is associated with
faithfulness, sincerity, truth, and grace, and those born in this
month are said to be loyal, devoted friends.
History of Birthstones
Chances are you can name your birthstone, but have you ever
wondered how certain stones came to be associated with particular
months? Most gem scholars trace the tradition to the Old
Testament story of Aaron, whose plate was decorated with
twelve precious stones, one for each of the twelve tribes of
Israel. Over time, these stones were linked with certain powers
and tied to particular astrological signs, and later to
months.
There are many variations of birthstone lists, including Mystical
birthstones, which originate from Tibet and date back over a
thousand years, and birthstones, associated with
ancient Indian medicine and beliefs. Birthstones have also been
tied to ancient Pagan religions, and even to the collective
wisdom of the legendary lost city of Atlantis.
The modern birthstone list, perhaps the most universally known,
was released by the American National Association of Jewelers and
officially adopted in 1912. Whether you embrace birthstone lore,
or look upon it with a skeptical eye, there is an undeniable
appeal to collecting a beautiful gemstone that is reputed to hold
special power, meaning, and good fortune just for you.
