8 Reasons Why Garnet Jewelry Make Exceptional Gifts

Although diamonds are a girl’s best friend and the most precious in the world, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will always make the perfect gift. Sometimes, you have to look a little lower on the Mohs scale to discover the best gift you can give to your loved ones. Sometimes, you need to make a gift out of garnet jewelry.

BORN IN THE FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR
People born in the month of January are those born alongside the start of a new year. Their Zodiac signs may either be Capricorn or Pisces. Their birthstone is garnet. What else reason are you looking for? When you give a person his birthstone as a gift, you’re bequeathing him all the luck in the world. We kid you not! Well, at least that’s what the old ones say.

A RAINBOW OF COLORS FROM JUST ONE GEM
Yes, that’s definitely what you can expect from garnets. Although most people believe that garnets are only red in color, garnet gemstones may also be orange, yellow, brown, black, purple, green, and blue - which just so happens to be the rarest color for garnets.

It will take you quite some time – and money definitely – to create this unique piece of garnet jewelry but when you do accomplish it, the recipient of your gift is sure to appreciate all your hard work!

MATCHING THE GEM WITH ITS ORIGINS
Garnet gemstones can be found in different parts of the world. As such, you can buy a piece of garnet jewelry for your loved one as a symbol of his or her home. If the recipient’s of Finnish descent, you should know that there’s one type of garnet gemstone which can only be found in Russia and a county in Finland. Some garnet gemstones on the other hand are known as Oriental garnets because they can only be found in Asia.

GARNET IS ONE OF THE WAYS TO SHOW YOUR REGARD
Garnet is a part of the famous type of ring created in the Victorian era. The regard ring is made up of several gems, with each letter of the word standing for each type of gem used on the ring. Obviously, garnet is the one used to represent the letter G. Although this isn’t a typical piece of garnet jewelry since it contains other gems, it’s still the thought that counts, right?

SPEAKING OF G FOR GARNET
For loved ones whose first name starts with the letter “G”, a piece of garnet jewelry will also make a Great Gift because it means you chose the Gem with the recipient’s name in mind. A lovely addition to this set of Gifts would be a bouquet of any flowers starting with the letter G.

GARNET FOR LOVE
Rather than give the usual ruby jewelry piece to show your love, why not opt for the unique redness of garnet jewelry to prove how much you care for your loved one? You can even give the whole nine yards by giving your loved one a complete set of garnet jewelry containing earrings, necklace, bracelet, ring, and anklet.

GOING AWAY WITH GARNET JEWELRY
Hundreds of years ago, travelers who are determined to explore different lands and have adventures of their own sought the protection that they believe only garnet jewelry can give them. If you have a loved one leaving temporarily, indefinitely, or permanently, ensure his or her safety by giving a piece of garnet jewelry as a going-away gift.

IF YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR DIAMONDS
Then you don’t. Instead, buy something that your pockets can afford like a piece of garnet jewelry. You can then add a little embellishment by asking the jewelry maker to customize the piece for you.

HOW TO CARE FOR GARNET JEWELRY
Even if garnet jewelries are harder than other gemstones, that doesn’t mean they’re invulnerable to scratches. As such, store them carefully and separately from other gems. Make sure that you clean them only with a soft lint-free cloth and mild soap.

Garnet jewelry is lovely. Better than that, it’s more affordable than sapphire, emerald, or diamond jewelry. Best of all, it’s entirely unique and it’s possible that the person who has everything in the world may not even be aware of the existence of garnet. If you want to make a special gift for a special someone, garnet jewelry is the best way to go.
