As the January birthstone, garnet offers a shot of color in month that’s usually associated with cold weather and short days. Like a cardinal stands out against the snow, garnet stands out no matter how it’s worn. When it’s combined with diamonds a contrast is created that makes garnet’s red color pop and the diamonds’ sparkle all the more evident. Garnet and diamond rings are a lovely way to honor your favorite person with a January birthday or to remember someone dear to you.

The deep, warm red of color of garnets is loved by many, regardless of their birthday. It calls to mind warmth and affection in a way that few other gems can.

A garnet ring often costs just half (or even less!) than a comparable style that features a ruby.

Garnets have a high refractive index, which gives them extraordinary brilliance. When paired with diamonds, the stone that’s know the world over for its ability to reflect light, pieces are created that demonstrate sensational sparkle. Garnet and diamond rings that utilize large emerald-cut or oval garnets accented by small diamonds allow the rich color and excellent sparkle of garnets to take the spotlight.

Unique heart-shaped cuts seem to have been created for garnets. Garnet and diamond rings that feature these shapes in the color traditionally associated with love and the heart make meaningful gifts for anyone who’s special to your heart.
