The birthstone of January, Garnet is commonly red but also comes in a variety of other colors. Garnet has been adorned by ancient civilizations and prized by many over history. Originating from the Latin word ‘granatus’ meaning ‘seed or grain’ some believe this to reference the seeds of the pomegranate fruit since some garnets share the same characteristic deep red color of pomegranate seeds.
