January’s birthstone is a fiery red colour that exudes warmth and energy, even on a cold winterday. Garnet is the gem of friendship, loyalty and trust. It is said to bring tranquility and health to those born in the first month of the year. Flanked by three smaller Swarovski^® crystals and surrounded by a Celtic art-inspired design, the colourful Swarovski^® crystal at the centre is a token of good fortune—not just in your birthday month, but forthe whole year. And with the help of a bezel kit (not included), your coin will easily become a cherished piece of jewellery that expresses who you are.
