Pure crystals of garnet are still used as gemstones. The gemstone varieties occur in shades of green, red, yellow, and orange. In the U.S., it's known as January's birthstone. The lovely garnet is the state mineral of Connecticut and is New York's gemstone. The star garnet (garnet with rutile asterisms) is the state gemstone of Idaho.
Despite it's official status for these states, we'd have to say, the garnet can unofficially rock any setting, whether a simple birthstone ring to celebrate a birthday or a pendant just because you like it's gorgeous color.
