January Birthstone Beads

Garnet is the official birthstone of January. Garnet stone beads come in various shades of red to deep purple and have been used throughout history for everything from making jewelry to embellishing armor. Today, garnet beads are a popular choice for creating handmade jewelry because they have a high hardness resulting in durable and lasting designs. Red garnet beads are the most popular, but green garnet beads are an excellent choice for those seeking something rarer and more unique! Whether used to create a symbol of your birth month or just to wear as a beautiful piece of jewelry, garnet beads are a striking addition to any jeweler's beading collection.
