Its diverse colors, symbolic meanings, and practical uses make it one of the most versatile and fascinating gemstones in the world.

Garnets are commonly red but also come in an extraordinary range of beautiful colors, including orange, yellow, purple and vibrant green.

Some believe the true value of the garnet birthstone is its power to bring the wearer good health, wealth and happiness.
