Frequently asked questions
-
Can I layer garnet necklaces?
Yes. Our garnet necklaces are designed with slim profiles that layer well. Pair a petite garnet pendant with a herringbone or paperclip chain at different lengths for a clean, layered look.

Is a garnet necklace a good gift for a January birthday?
Yes. Garnet is the official January birthstone and symbolizes passion, strength, and protection. At Erin Gallagher Jewelry, every garnet necklace is handcrafted in Colorado and ships gift-ready with free shipping on orders over $150.

Is garnet always red?
No. While deep red is the most common and traditional color, garnet actually comes in nearly every color including pink (rhodolite), orange (spessartine), green (tsavorite and demantoid), and even color-changing varieties. Red almandine and rosy rhodolite are the most popular for jewelry.

Care and Quality
Clean garnet necklaces with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid steam cleaning and harsh chemicals. Store separately to prevent scratching from harder gemstones like diamonds or sapphires.
