Birthstones January Garnet and Diamond Pendant

The name of the January birthstone 'Garnet' was derived from the Latin word granatum, meaning seed, due to the gemstone's resemblance to the red hues of the pomegranate seed. In ancient times, Garnet was used as a talisman by warriors to protect them when going into battle. The ancient Egyptians viewed it as a symbol to life and used it throughout their jewellery, with some artefacts dating back to 3100BC. (Diamond is approximately 0.05ct and Garnet is 0.36ct)

Chain included.
