Answer

The January birthstone, garnet, is associated with loyalty, trust, friendship, and love. The user of garnet may also feel more secure on their travels. Red garnets may be the most well-known, but this family of gemstones has a wide range of tints and hues. Garnets have long been a symbol of undying love, good fortune, and abundant wealth. Reportedly, they can improve blood flow, skin tone, and heart health, all of which contribute to a more youthful appearance.
