A 7.15 carat garnet is mostly for someone who wants a proper, visible red stone in a ring that actually gets worn. This one is a deep red with a bright face, big enough to look deliberate and still sensible in weight.

Why garnet suits daily wear

Garnet reaches 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, above quartz, so a ring will not gather a cloud of fine scratches in its first year. It is also harder than red coral and needs none of the fuss that opal or kunzite demand. There is no cleavage plane inside it, which makes a knock less alarming. A soft brush, warm water and a little mild soap bring the shine back whenever it needs it.

The practical details

Its rate per carat is what you would expect for garnet of this size and colour. Look at it under a lamp as well as in daylight: a good garnet keeps throwing light long after paler stones go flat.

From six carats up a stone becomes the centre of attention. It wants a broader shank or a secure claw setting and suits an occasion ring, a signet or a centre pendant. Clean natural material of this size turns up far less often, and the per-carat rate reflects that.

On the Mohs scale garnet rates 7 to 7.5. It handles daily wear, but a hard knock can still nick an exposed corner, so a protective setting is a sensible choice. Clean it with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and keep it away from abrasive cleaners and high heat.
