Garnet & Citrine Glass Necklace | January Birthstone Colours | Faceted Beads

Deep red and warm gold. Quietly powerful. The necklace that doesn't perform fire — it just keeps the fire going.

This is faceted glass in garnet red and citrine gold, not cut gemstone — and I'd rather tell you that up front than let you find out later. What it does have is the colour, the light, and the weight of a piece that looks like it cost more than it did.

Garnet red is January's colour, so this reads as a birthday piece for anyone born in the first month of the year. It's also the most Christmas-coded necklace I stock, which is not something I planned and is entirely why it sells in December.

What it carries

Garnet has been worn for protection since the Bronze Age — Romans carried it into battle, Egyptians wore it as a talisman of vitality. Citrine's warm gold has long been the colour of steady optimism. Wearing the colours is its own kind of reminder: you can be grounded and lit up at the same time. The glass isn't doing the work. You are. It's just there on your collarbone, catching light, forty times a day.

Wear it your way

Layer it over a longer gemstone strand for a warm-toned stack, or wear it alone against black or cream and let the colour do everything. It sits especially well beside the moss agate double wrap bracelet — the green against the red is the whole December palette in two pieces.
