January Birthstone Gifts: Garnet Rings
Garnet and Diamond Pavé Ring



This oval cut garnet ring is flanked by studded pavé diamonds. We’d choose this one as an alternative engagement ring because of its powerful symbolism – the garnet birthstone is believed to revitalize, purify, and bring serenity to the wearer.
Garnet Beaded Halo Ring



Rose gold throws it back to Late Antique Rome, when both bronze hues and garnet jewelry were extremely popular. Plenty of other civilizations did as the Romans did: the January birthstone was adorned by ancient Egyptian pharaohs and medieval nobility alike.
Perfect Fit Garnet Wedding Ring



“Garnet” likely comes from the same root as “pomegranate,” mirroring the small, seed-like red gems that line this ring. Bonus: whether for a stackable ring or a wedding band, the Perfect Fit grooves on the sides make sure that your January birthstones stay front and center.
Oval Garnet Art Deco Ring



This garnet dips deeper into purple with glamour worthy of the 1920s Art Deco style. It’s the perfect size for everyday wear, while the diamond-garnet combo adds some luxe to the classy January gem.
