About Garnet Jewelry
Garnet jewelry has been worn for centuries, valued for its durability, depth of color, and personal meaning.
As the January birthstone, garnet has long been linked to protection, strength, and emotional connection, making it a stone people choose not just for its look, but for what it represents. While garnet naturally occurs in a range of colors, red garnet jewelry remains the most loved and widely recognized.
At Gabriel & Co., our collection focuses on red garnet jewelry, chosen for its rich tone and lasting appeal across rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.

Garnet birthstone jewelry moves seamlessly from everyday life to more meaningful occasions, which is why it makes such a thoughtful gift. It’s a piece that doesn’t just sit in a jewelry box; it becomes part of your story.
