Garnet lets you harvest the true love in January

Legend has it that before Odysseus went to Troy, he gave his beautiful wife Penelope a jewel and said that it would be preserved forever. After more than ten years of the Trojan War, there was always news against the Greeks. After the war, other Greek heroes returned to China, but Odysseus never returned. After a long time, it was rumored that he was dead. Later, more and more people believed it. As a result, Penelope suddenly became a young widow, and her beauty and great wealth attracted many suitors. However, she has always been loyal to love, and it is true. She always remembers the superhuman strength and courage of Odysseus, and she has not been decadent for waiting for a long time, and the gentle and graceful temperament is still moving. It was the original jewel that gave her faith, and she firmly believed that Odysseus would definitely return. Sure enough, eventually Odysseus came back and brought a lot of wealth.

The legendary love is moving, but I think everyone is curious about the legendary jewel. In fact, it is our protagonist today, symbolizing the birthstone, the garnet, which is a birthstone of purity, friendship, loyalty, strength, tenacity, prosperity and health.
