January Birthstone Jewelry – Garnet

The January birthstone is Garnet — a gemstone known for its deep red colour and enduring strength.

As the first birthstone of the year, Garnet symbolises new beginnings, stability, and quiet confidence. Its rich tone reflects warmth during winter and determination at the start of a new chapter.

At Minorra, our January Garnet birthstone jewelry collection is designed to honour this meaning through refined craftsmanship and timeless style.
