Our Product Story
Garnet is January's birthstone. A hard, durable, often very brilliant stone, it's available in many colors other than the classic deep red, including green, yellow, orange, pink and violet. Garnet occurs in certain shades of red that have been taken for some varieties of ruby. In yellow, it has been confused with precious topaz. In fact, garnets can be found in almost every color and shade except blue.
A freshwater pearl is formed in the same manner as a saltwater pearl, whether natural or cultured. The term freshwater refers to where the pearl is formed, not how. The distinction between saltwater and freshwater is not as important in assessing pearls' desirability and durability as whether the pearls are natural or cultured.
