January

Garnet, the major January birthstone, is generally regarded as a more vivid color than alternative gemstones, such as rose quartz or red spinel. A distinguished garnet ring and an engaging layered pendant necklace made by Tigtab, showcasing rhodolite garnet on top and bottom with quartz in the center, both pieces exude sophistication and individual style. 

A lovely rose quartz heart pendant by High Peak Silver offers a gentle and romantic twist on the classic garnet birthstone design. Lydia Reynolds, on the other hand, features almandine garnet in an antiqued copper pendant, providing pleasing vintage touches.

 In summary, these pieces participate in garnet's multifaceted nature and timeless beauty, with jewelry that has both practicality and passion.

February's amethyst evokes calm and clarity in a range of purples, and we've seen customers and jewelry makers produce great pieces that highlight the amethyst's beauty. Green Grace Jewelry designed a simple pendant made from our amethyst stone, which felt serene and had a lightness.

Anfraktuous Designs used amethyst and rainbow moonstone in a pairing that appeared heavenly and dreamlike.
