January's Gem: Garnet

History and Significance

Garnet, with its deep red hues, has a history as rich and diverse as its color palette. Used by ancient civilizations for both adornment and protection, garnet is believed to symbolize love, passion, and strength. In medieval times, it was thought to bring good health, enhance creativity, and protect against nightmares. Today, garnet continues to captivate with its timeless allure.


Varieties of Garnet

Garnet comes in a variety of colors, but the most well-known is the deep red hue. Other varieties include green (tsavorite), orange (spessartite), and even rare color-changing garnets. Each variety possesses its own unique charm, making garnet a versatile and sought-after gemstone.


Garnet Care Tips

To ensure the longevity of your garnet jewelry, follow these care tips:

  • Clean gently with a soft brush and mild soap.

  • Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals.

  • Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches.

Cory has been so wonderful to work with. He helped my husband design my engagement ring, as well as wedding band, and they are absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend Cory and J&M Jewelry, to anyone!

Cory is hands down the best jeweler I’ve ever worked with. He’s helped me with everything from finding the a new gold chain for an old pendant to designing a completely custom ring. Whether I come in with a clear vision or just a vague idea, he helps me narrow it down and find exactly what works within my budget. He listens to my wants and there is never any pressure, just honest guidance and expertise. I’ve recommended J&M to so many friends because it’s rare to find a place that offers such high quality pieces while also having the ability to customize something to be exactly what you’re looking for. The craftsmanship, service, and overall experience are unmatched.

Cory was super easy to work with! He explained everything to me in a way that I could understand it and was transparent across the whole process! I would highly recommend him to people I know looking for jewelry. I am very pleased with the work that he and his team did on my engagement ring. Thanks again!
