Garnet Sun Necklace
Necklace Length Guide
Choosing the right necklace length can make all the difference to how your jewellery sits and feels. Our visual guide shows the four most popular lengths on an average neckline so you can easily see where each one falls:
-
14" – Choker Length
Sits closely around the base of the neck. Perfect for a snug, elegant fit or for layering with longer pieces. -
16" – Classic Short Necklace
Falls just below the collarbone on most people. A timeless everyday length and ideal for small pendants. -
18" – Standard Pendant Length
Rests on the upper chest. This is our most popular and versatile length for gifting, flattering most necklines. -
20" – Longer, Relaxed Length
Sits a little lower on the chest for an effortlessly elegant look. Great for creating a layered style or adding extra movement.
Tip: Everyone’s proportions are a little different. If you're choosing a gift, 18" is the safest all-round option—beautiful on its own and easy to layer with other pieces.

Real garnet, set into our sun pendant
A 6mm Mozambique garnet cabochon sits at the heart of a 20mm sun pendant — raised sun rays radiating from the centre, framed by a textured outer rim. Our garnet is genuine and natural, with the deep wine-red colour that gives the stone its name (from the Latin granatum — pomegranate); subtle variations in tone are part of what makes each stone unique.
A January Birthstone Necklace with Meaning
Garnet is the January birthstone and one of the oldest gemstones in jewellery history — worn for thousands of years as the Stone of Passion, a talisman for vitality, love and grounded strength. The sun design gives the deep red stone a warm, fitting setting: a meaningful gift for a January birthday, a 2nd wedding anniversary, or anyone in need of renewed energy and a stronger sense of self.

About Garnet
Garnet is a family of related minerals worn as jewellery for over 5,000 years — found in ancient Egyptian tombs, Roman signet rings and Victorian mourning pieces. Its deep red colour comes from iron and other trace elements; the name "garnet" itself comes from the Latin granatum, meaning pomegranate, after the seed-like red crystals the stone naturally forms. The garnet in our Sun Necklace is genuine Mozambique garnet, sourced from one of the world's finest garnet regions and known for its rich wine-red colour and natural clarity. A meaningful gift for January birthdays, 2nd wedding anniversaries, or anyone drawn to its deep, warm red.
Garnet Benefits
- Stone of Passion — long worn to ignite vitality, drive and the courage to follow your desires
- Energy and Vitality — connected to renewed life force, stamina and physical strength
- Sexuality and Sensuality — traditionally worn as a stone of intimate love and creative life energy
- Stability and Grounding — supports steadiness, security and a calm centre
- Root Chakra and January Birthstone — aligned with the root chakra for grounded strength, and the traditional January birthstone
Care
The chain and pendant are water and tarnish resistant — but the garnet is bonded into the centre and prefers a little protection. Remove your necklace before showering, swimming, saunas or applying perfume and lotion to keep the stone secure and looking its best. Store in your Abiza box when not worn.
