JANUARY G O L D A N D G A R N E T

Strong. Pure. Red.

Garnet is the January birthstone. Found across the US, in every color (except blue), and locally on Colorado’s Ruby Mountain— garnet is appreciated for its versatility and beauty.

Whether inlaid in gold earrings, pendants, rings, or itself carved through intaglio—the gemstone has found admiration in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

Garnet depicted Egyptian pharaohs through African cloisonné. Later, it became a symbol for spiritual Europe (as well as a favorite medium of Roman dignity through intaglio).

Today, garnet is used in industry, metalworking, art, and of course jewelry because the abundant minerals that form it create diverse colors, various strengths, and changing clarity.

At our store, you see only strong, pure, red garnet. Learn more about our Denver store, talk to our jewelers, and try on jewelry by visiting our store.
