The Significance of Capricorn’s Birthstone
Born between December 22 and January 19, Capricorns are known for their determination, discipline, and practical nature. Their birthstone, garnet, reflects these qualities with its deep, rich red tones and enduring strength. Long associated with protection, commitment, and inner resolve, garnet is a powerful symbol for Capricorns who value stability, loyalty, and purpose.
A Gemstone with an Ancient Heritage
Garnet is one of the oldest gemstones used in jewellery, with a history that spans thousands of years. Ancient civilisations valued garnet not only for its beauty but also for its symbolic power.
In Ancient Rome, garnets were worn as signet rings, while travellers in the Middle Ages carried garnet talismans for protection on long journeys. The gemstone’s name comes from the Latin word granatum, meaning pomegranate, inspired by its rich, seed-like colour.
Throughout history, garnet has symbolised strength, safe passage, and enduring friendship, making it a meaningful stone for the steadfast Capricorn spirit.
Natural Garnet and Its Enduring Beauty
At Hersey & Son Silversmiths, we work exclusively with garnet. Each stone displays its own subtle variations in colour and brilliance, ensuring that every piece of Capricorn birthstone jewellery is unique.
