January Garnets and a brand new necklace

It is no secret that I love garnets. I use them in MANY pieces. The rich red color, it gets me every time! And the fact that it is the January birthstone, and I have a daughter with a January birthday helps me love it all the more!


What you might NOT know is all the cool meanings behind the stone! For instance, did you know...it is the stone of LOVE & DEVOTION? ADORE that!

• it is known as the stone for a successful business
• it is believed that if a garnet is put under a pillow it will cure depression. 
• it can be used to make a person popular and have self-esteem when worn as jewelry
• it helps protect one on trips
• it brings constancy to friendships

No matter what you believe about the stone itself...you cannot deny it's beauty! To celebrate that beauty...I designed THIS necklace!

As a bonus, for the month of January this necklace & ALL garnet jewelry is available for 10% off and Free Shipping for my bloggy friends! Just use the code BLOGFRIEND.
