Beautifully faceted Garnets twinkle and sparkle on these perfect red earrings. Wear them year-round - or save them for the holidays and Valentine's Day! Garnet's deep red color complements both the spring and winter seasons - giving a pop of rich color to both white and black outfits. Garnets are January's birthstone, the gemstone to celebrate 2nd wedding anniversaries and the state gemstone of New York. The name for this coveted wine-colored gemstone comes from the Latin word granatus for ""seeds"" because the stones resemble the juicy seeds of a pomegranate! In Greek mythology, a pomegranate was often given as a gift of passion and associated with eternal love. Metaphysically, Garnets symbolize a quick return to a separated love - they are often gifted to a loved one before they embark on travel.
