Garnet Rings

These garnet rings are fashion rings, designed for the right hand, a stack, or a birthday rather than a proposal. You can certainly wear one as a promise or engagement ring, but the settings were chosen for everyday color: solitaires, halos, station bands, and graphic pieces like the Garnet Graduated V Ring. If you want a garnet center in a bridal setting, our garnet engagement rings live in their own collection.

Garnet is a family of related minerals, not a single stone, so it comes in more colors than most people expect. The shade most people picture is a deep wine red, the color of the classic January garnet, and each ring's photography shows its own stone so you can judge the tone before ordering. The Rhodolite Garnet Floral Ring uses rhodolite, a variety with a brighter, raspberry tone that looks more pink in daylight. If you want a red that reads dark and dressy at night, choose a larger oval; small garnets show lighter because less of the stone's depth is visible.

Durable enough, with sensible care. Garnet rates 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale depending on the variety, softer than sapphire at 9 or diamond at 10, so the facets can scuff over years against countertops and keyboards. A protective setting makes a real difference: the Oval-Cut Garnet Bezel-Set Ring and the Garnet Bezel Solitaire Ring wrap the stone's edge in metal, and the halo designs give it a border of diamonds.

Yes, and several were drawn for it. The Garnet Evil Eye Stackable Ring and the Stackable Pavé Garnet Ring are slim enough to wear in twos and threes. The Garnet Bezel-Set Station Band and the Bezel-Set Bar Station Band add color without height, so they sit flush against a wedding band. The Graduated V Ring nests above or below a solitaire to frame it.

It is the total carat weight of the diamond accents, not the garnet. In the Oval-Cut Garnet & Diamond Halo Ring (1/10 ctw), for example, the diamonds surrounding the oval add up to one-tenth of a carat. The Oval-Cut Garnet & Lab-Grown Diamond Ring (1/3 ctw) is the one design whose accents are laboratory-grown diamonds; the product page for each ring names its stones.

Each ring lists its own metal options, and some offer all three. 10K white gold and 10K yellow gold contain more alloy, which makes them slightly harder and more resistant to scratches, with a paler color. 14K yellow, white, and rose gold have a richer tone and are the most popular choice. Platinum is the heaviest and most durable option, and it makes deep red garnet look especially bright.

Anyone who likes a ring with weight and structure. The signet's flat, wide face makes the rectangular garnet look architectural, and it works on a pinky or index finger as easily as the ring finger. It is one of the few garnet rings here that many men also choose.

Each ring is made or sized to the ring size you choose, which is why rings are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged. Please measure before ordering; our sizing guide explains how, and wider designs like the signet and the Pear-Cut Garnet Five-Stone Ring often need a quarter to a half size larger than a thin band.

Yes. Garnet is the January birthstone, which makes the Garnet Heart Solitaire Ring and the Garnet Two-Stone Heart Ring natural birthday gifts. For a mother with two children, the Two-Stone Heart is a quiet way to mark both.

Warm water, a drop of mild soap, and a soft toothbrush under the stone. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners. Remove the ring for the gym, gardening, and cleaning with chemicals, and have the prongs checked once a year, especially on the Trillion and Bypass designs where the stone sits proud of the band.
