Garnet is one of the oldest gemstones, representing passion, determination, and inner strength. Its name comes from the Latin word "granatum," meaning pomegranate, which allows its vibrant red hues to symbolize life energy and rebirth. Worn as a protective amulet in ancient Egypt, garnet was believed to bring courage to warriors and confidence to travelers. The birthstone of January, garnet is particularly associated with Capricorn and Aquarius, supporting disciplined souls who remain steadfast in their goals. It is linked to the root chakra and stimulates the energies of balance, confidence, and stability. An emotionally protective stone, garnet wards off negative energies and rekindles the passion of the heart. For centuries, it has been considered a symbol of loyalty and devotion. In SIM and ROZ designs, garnet is a memento that combines strength with elegance, carrying the warmth of life and determination with every sparkle.
