I already wrote about the garnet man brooch that is January’s Jewel of the Month<\/a> on Monday, but here it is again! I can’t resist, because Monica Stephenson — ANZA Gems founder<\/a>, garnet provider, and customer — shared the brooch on Instagram, and I’m amused by her caption.<\/p>\n

Shhh! Can you keep a secret? We officially have our first @anzagems brooch, and it\u2019s a #manbrooch! It was made for my husband @destephenson for a, er, significant birthday by @wendybrandesjewelry! @wendybrandes was a worthy conspirator, sneaking me texts of sketches, while I surreptitiously measured his @isaia lapels… The result is (I think) this ? design, made with love in #NYC: a little bit cosmic, a little vintage. It\u2019s a huge rhodolite garnet in a custom pendeloque shape by @ptgems, backed in white gold, with 18k rays and rose cut diamonds. So, would you rock a manbrooch? I\u2019ve maintained that the world could use awesome men\u2019s brooches for years, and now I feel like we have the perfect example! You can read all about the story of its creation over at the sublime storyteller Wendy\u2019s blog: http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2018\/01\/jewel-of-the-month-garnet-man-brooch-for-january. #garnet #redefiningrhodolite #rhodolitegarnet #garnetbrooch #mensbrooch #manbrooch #brobrooch #mensjewelry #handmade #18k #lovegold #mensfashion #mensdesign #gemsforchange #gemstones #gems #january #januarybirthstone #januarybaby #idazzle<\/a><\/p>\n
