January - Garnet
Garnets come in the most beautiful colors of the rainbow.
January babies are so lucky to have a birthstone category that even includes color change garnet as their birthstone which changes from purple to blue to green to red. Here's a fun chart, below, and here's a link to a beautiful pair of color change garnet and diamond earrings.
Garnet is available in a rainbow of colors, from the deep red Bohemian Garnet to the vibrant greens of the Russian Demantoid and African Tsavorite. We also see it appearing in the oranges and browns of Spessartite and Hessonite from Namibia and Sri Lanka and the subtle pinks and purples of Rhododendron.
Legend says Garnets light up the night and protect their owners from nightmares. Garnets have long been carried by travelers to protect against accidents far from home. Garnet is the birthstone for January but with its stunning variety of colors and its mystical powers it has been given as a gift for all occasions for centuries.

Birthstones are gemstones that accompany a birth month, each having a unique meaning and historical significance. The popularity of birthstones dates back to ancient times when civilizations believed that gemstones had incredible powers such as luck, health and prosperity. Traditionally, each month is associated with a single gemstone, but as you’ll find below there are a few months with multiple birthstones. The birthstones associated with birth months today are not necessarily the same ones that were used in ancient times. In those days, color was the most important feature of a gemstone so they did not distinguish between gems the way we do today. For instance, they did not distinguish between a Ruby and a Garnet. Our list represents the modern birthstone list endorsed by the American Gem Society.
Gifts of gemstone jewelry with a loved one’s birthstone are very popular because of the desire to wear beautiful color as well as something which has personal significance. You don’t need to become a gemstone or birthstone expert to find the perfect gift. Whether you’re looking for a gemstone ring adorned with the birthstone of a child, or a beautiful set of gemstone earrings we’re here to help!

We've been all over coloured engagement ringsfor a while now, so we were super happy to hear that Etsy has named birthstoneengagementrings as one of their breakout weddingtrends of 2019.
Along with statement sleeves, sustainable tableware and unconventional seating plans, the e-commerce site has declared birthstoneengagementringsas the perfect way for brides to to express their individuality.
'One emerging trend in non-diamondengagementringsis incorporating birthstones,'Etsy’s trend expert Dayna Isom Johnson explained. 'On Etsy, we’ve seen 34K searches for 'birthstoneengagementrings'in the last three months, and I predict the trend will continue to grow.'.
2019 is going to be all about putting a twist on traditional styles,' Johnson continued. 'For generations, the diamondhas been the ultimate stone for proposing, but today’s bride isn’t tied to the norm — she wants to express her personal style and choose a ringthat reflects her personality — which is why in the new year, other gemstones will become go-to staples for engagementrings.'.
