Birthstones-Month of January
By her who in this
month (January) is born
No gem save garnets
should be worn;
They will ensure her
constancy,
True friendship, and
fidelity.
~ Tiffany & Co. published this
poem and others for each month for the first time in a pamphlet in 1870. The
author or authors are unknown.
