Garnet

The use of garnets in jewellery have been tradtionally given as a gift to celebrate the second year of marriage.

The garnet group includes a group of minerals that have been used since the Bronze Age as gemstones. The name "garnet" may come from either the Middle English word gernet meaning 'dark red', or the Latin granatus ("grain"), possibly a reference to the pomegranate, a plant with red seeds similar in shape, size, and colour to some garnet crystals.

Throughout history garnets are referenced as a symbol of love and are associated with eternity. Nowadays, garnets remain a gift of love and are traditionally given for the 2nd wedding anniversary. They are also the birthstone for January and its virtues have long believed to include passion, true friendship, fidelity, success, self-esteem, loyalty, energy and faith.
