Welcome the new year with January’s Birthstone, the lucky Garnet! 

Garnet is considered a lucky stone! It represents luck in love, success and relationships of all types. Garnet also has a sensual side, as it exemplifies fire, blood, the creation of the world out of chaos, purification, and love. Which sounds great for any year that is starting anew!

The name, Garnet, comes from the Latin word “Garanatus,” meaning seed-like (in reference to a pomegranate seed) - which makes sense because small garnets look like the bright red seeds you would find inside a pomegranate. 

It is said that Garnet can boost self-confidence by allowing you to let go of old, destructive behavior patterns and starting anew. Garnet is utilized for the production of creative energy, as it grounds forces within the body and helps in the ability to work passionately and lovingly on Earth. Overall, Garnet balances energy; bringing serenity and inspiring love.

We can include a Garnet stone in any of our pieces of PaulaMax Jewelry. Be sure to browse through our collection and get what you need for someone who has a January birthday, anniversary, an honorable moment, or for someone who wants to wear "The Lucky Jewel" all year long.
