Greetings!

While best known for its deep, wine-red hue, garnet, January’s birthstone, is actually a family of gems that spans vivid greens, warm oranges, rich purples, and even color-change varieties.

Garnet has been treasured for thousands of years as a symbol of strength and vitality and has adorned many civilizations across history. Egyptian pharaohs wore red garnet necklaces, Roman officials used garnet intaglios to seal important documents, and the Victorians loved garnet jewelry, importing large quantities of garnet from Bohemia (present-day Czech Republic).

More recent discoveries of demantoid, spessartine, and tsavorite have broadened the appeal of the garnet family, keeping this classic gem group at the forefront of jewelry design and collector interest. What’s your favorite garnet color?

Testimonial

I met Steven 40 years ago. He calmly and professionally handled a large transaction on the buyer's side with us as sellers with great style. We've been friends since, and I have watched him as a businessman and as a philanthropist. He does definitely have a place carved out in the good part of the afterlife for all of his charitable work, and he has lost none of his edge in business over the years. His network of contacts is impressive, and I just know that he can do anything he sets his heart on.
