Details
Cathedral shoulders arch up to lift an emerald-cut garnet, giving the stone height and the ring an architectural line. Those raised shoulders do quiet protective work too, guarding a garnet that, at roughly 6.5 to 7.5 Mohs, is softer than a sapphire. The center runs 0.75 to 2 carat in classic deep red Mozambique or raspberry Rhodolite, each a real, typically untreated garnet with the long step-cut facets that reward a clean stone. Choose your metal, carat, and colour below, take the ring off for rough work, and we finish it to your size.
Shown complete with a real Emerald garnet center from 0.75 to 2 carat, a mozambique garnet (deep red) or a rhodolite garnet (raspberry purplish-red), your choice, from $759 all-in. The price is the finished ring: setting, the garnet center you choose, and the labor to set and size it. Garnet is a family of gem minerals; these are genuine garnets, and depending on the variety they rate about 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, softer than a sapphire (9) or a diamond (10), so a protective setting suits them and they are best removed for gardening, the gym, and rough work. Most garnet is untreated, which is a genuine plus. These calibrated stones ship without an individual lab report. Want a certified or hand-selected specimen garnet?

Questions
What is at the center? A real Emerald garnet, from 0.75 to 2 carat, a mozambique garnet (deep red) or a rhodolite garnet (raspberry purplish-red), your choice. Choose the carat, metal, and garnet variety on this page.
Is garnet hard enough for an engagement ring? Garnet is a group of gem minerals that rate roughly 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale depending on the variety. That is durable enough for regular wear, but it is softer than a sapphire (9) or a diamond (10), and we say so plainly. This design shelters the stone, and we recommend removing the ring for gardening, the gym, cleaning, and rough work.
Which garnet variety should I choose? Each is a real, distinct garnet with its own colour. Mozambique garnet is the classic deep red, Rhodolite is a raspberry purplish-red, Spessartite is a mandarin orange, and Tsavorite is a vivid green that rivals emerald. They are all genuine garnets, none is a fake, and you pick the colour you love above; the price reflects the variety you choose.
Is the garnet treated? Most garnet reaches you exactly as the earth made it. Unlike many gems, garnet is typically not heated or otherwise treated to improve its colour, which is a genuine point in its favour. We never overclaim; if a specific stone carried a treatment we would tell you.
How do I care for it? Clean it with warm water, a little mild soap, and a soft brush, and skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners, which can be too aggressive for a colored stone. Take it off for rough or abrasive work and have the setting checked once a year. Treated with that ordinary care, a garnet keeps its rich colour for a lifetime.
Does it come with a certificate? These calibrated stones ship without an individual lab report. We hand-check every one for even colour and a clean face.
Is the price all-in? Yes. The price is the complete ring with the garnet you select, set and sized to order.
