January's brilliant birthstone is sure to blow you away

Pop the champagne and light the fireworks! Wait…what’s that? No, we’re not still celebrating the new year. We’re celebrating January’s birthstone, garnet! 


Garnet gemstones are a brilliant red color and have a storied history. These gemstones were wildly popular in the Roman Empire and were in fact one of the most widely traded stones. Garnets were considered to be flawless, so it makes sense that ancient nobility considered them highly prized. Heck, we’re pretty partial to them ourselves! Just check out this white gold garnet pendant, and you’ll have no doubt why we love January’s birthstone. 




It wasn’t just the ancient Romans who found garnets particularly important. Ancient Egyptians believed that garnets were the stone of life, so they incorporated the stone into many pieces of jewelry. In fact, they even gave their mummies garnets because ancient Egyptians believed garnets to be the best way for pharaohs to honor the gods. 




Now, we aren’t mummy experts, but Dickinson Jewelers definitely has lots of garnet experts! Our jewelry stylists are obsessed with these milgrain garnet dangle earrings. They showcase garnet’s distinctive hue without being overbearing. 




Looking for something with a bit more history to it? This antique and estate jewelry ring does a beautiful job of highlighting garnet’s natural beauty. The diamonds absolutely gleam as they surround the uniquely-styled garnet. 


Like many gemstones, garnets come in a wide variety of colors. However, the red color is what’s traditionally considered to be January’s birthstone. This variety of garnet is primarily found in Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand but is popular worldwide. 




Garnets are so popular that our Little Luxuries boutique stocks a wide variety of garnet-based products. From stacking rings to pendants and bracelets, Little Luxuries has so many gorgeous birthstone jewelry pieces for you to check out. We love this January stretch bracelet. It would be perfect as a gift for a January baby, but we also love the idea of incorporating it into a jewelry style that holds meaning to you. How cool would it be to have a trendy bracelet stack made up of the birthstones of your loved ones? 

Ready to shop for the January baby in your life? Stop by either our Prince Frederick or Dunkirk locations to browse our selection of garnets. Our stylists are standing by to help you find the perfect piece for every occasion.
