Garnet- Birthstone for January
Vibrant, rich, red. Those words describe January’s birthstone: Red Garnet. Garnets are found in many colors including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, pink and colorless. The rarest of these is the blue Garnet. The Red Garnet is the most common and known as the birthstone for January as adopted by the American National Association of Jewelers in 1912.

Even today, Garnets are still a popular and much loved gemstone.
Garnets are known as a feminine energy stone. Over my 20 plus years of selling stones, I have witnessed over and over the strong appeal Garnet holds for women. Some women just seemed drawn to its feminine energies and find it difficult to wear any other stone but Garnet!
Garnet stimulates the Root Chakra and the Heart Chakra, making it a useful stone to bring your heartfelt desires into the world. >> Continue reading

What was even more fun was stringing these beads into this necklace. The pattern just flowed together without much thought to the design, there it was taking form almost as if a mermaid was designing this piece. After all Aquamarine is known as a treasure of the mermaids!
