What Exactly Is Garnet? (Besides Being Gorgeous)
Garnet isn’t just one stone - it’s a whole family. Think of them as gemstone siblings with the same surname but different personalities.
Its colours range from deep wine-red (the classic favourite) to raspberry, rust, and even green. But the January Garnet most people know and adore?
Fiery red. Bold. Elegant. Completely irresistible.
The Meaning & Magic of Garnet
Historically, travellers wore garnets to light their way through darkness. Lovers exchanged them for protection. Warriors carried them for courage.
Today? We wear them because:
Garnet = Confidence
This stone is believed to boost self-esteem, motivation, and inner strength.
Basically, garnet turns your “Maybe?” into “Absolutely yes.”
Garnet = Love & Loyalty
It’s known as the stone of passion - not the chaos kind, but the solid, warm, comforting kind.
Garnet = Good Energy
Said to balance emotions, enhance focus, and attract good fortune.
A stylish good-luck charm? Yes, please.
Garnet = Protection
Ancient travellers believed it guarded them from negativity.
Think of it as jewelry with built-in positive vibes.
