Garnet is a group of durable silicate minerals known for their rich colors, ranging from deep red to green, purple, orange, and rare blues. The name “garnet” comes from Latin and Middle English words meaning “seed-like” and “dark red.” With a Mohs hardness of 7.5 to 8.5, garnet is ideal for everyday jewelry. Symbolizing strength, loyalty, and friendship, garnet is the birthstone for January and is also associated with Capricorn and Aquarius zodiac signs.

Yes, garnet rings have long been associated with royalty, making vintage styles — especially Victorian and Art Deco designs — highly sought after.

Gold and garnet make a timeless and elegant combination for rings. As garnet rings are favored by royalty, pairing garnet with yellow, white, or rose gold enhances its luxurious appeal. Explore our collection of garnet rings in various gold settings to find the perfect match for your style.

Garnets and rubies may both appear red, but they differ in color intensity, hardness, and value. Garnets range from deep brownish-red to purplish hues and are more affordable due to their abundance. They have a hardness of 6.5–7.5, making them slightly less durable for everyday wear. Rubies, known for their vivid "pigeon blood" red color, are rarer and more valuable, with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making them highly scratch-resistant and ideal for daily jewelry.

Garnet ring prices vary by color, clarity, size, and cut. Common red garnets are more affordable, while rare colors like green or blue cost more. Most garnet rings range from under $100 to a few thousand dollars, depending on quality and rarity. Our garnet rings prize below $416.
