Friday Finds, January Birthstone Style: Garnet Earrings

Valentine's Day is just a month away! Even if you weren't born in January, you may want to add garnet jewelry to your wishlist. The deep red January birthstone is a symbol of loyalty and affection when given as a gift. The gem can even evoke passion and sensual magic between lovers. However, if you're single and moping around about it - wearing garnet is also known to help overcome depression and protect against negative energy.

Garnet has been one of my favorite gemstones since I bought a unique poison ring as a teenager - the tiny red jewel hid a container that I filled with a pinch of glitter. I couldn't find any rings like it on Etsy, but my eyes fell for these gorgeous garnet earrings instead. Each pair of gems is coupled with hammered sterling silver.

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature.

Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
