January's birthstone, Garnets are known to have a warm, deep red that is similar to that of a Ruby, and is often mistaken for one to the untrained eye! When you think 'Garnet', images of sparkling red gems probably come to mind, but there are actually Garnets of many colours, with the rarest being colourless, peach, and green. Used in adornment for over 5,000 years, Garnets were popular in ancient Egypt from around 3100 BC, being used as beads in necklaces as well as inlaid jewellery (gems set into a surface in a decorative pattern). Garnet’s many myths frequently portray it as a symbol of light, faith, truth, chivalry, loyalty and honesty.
