A new year two times over; that’s what January babies are able to experience.

As we flip our calendars to 2018 and focus on the year ahead, those with birthdays in January also get to start off their new year fresh. For many, that fresh start will include a new piece of jewelry.

Garnet, the birthstone for January, is a versatile gemstone with diverse varieties, characteristics and color palette.
