One of the most prominent gems this time of year is garnet. This pretty little stone makes quite the appearance this time of year as it is the official gemstone for the month of January. Being a January baby myself I always keep my eyes peeled for great garnet pieces to enhance my own personal jewelry collection.

Garnet has been used in jewelry and for other purposes for thousands of years. Most of us think of the traditional red garnet, but did you know this gem is available in almost any color? Lovely! Garnet is like topaz in this respect.

Keep your eyes on our auctions this month for great pieces featuring the month’s favorite gem: garnet! Good luck and happy bidding to all!
