Pakistan is listed as the origin of this red garnet, a detail worth noting for buyers who like to wear a stone from the same country. It weighs 9.2 carats and costs Rs. 10,200, about Rs. 1,109 per carat. Its SKU is GSN-GT-14.

Garnet scores 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, so it is one of the sturdier choices for a daily ring. Because the colour belongs to the mineral, enhancement is uncommon in this family, though we are happy to share what we know of this stone if you write on +92 308 887 3888.

Setting thoughts

Silver shows off the deep red well and keeps the cost down. Gold makes sense if you want the stone to look richer. A closed-back setting protects the underside from dust.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural garnet with a weight of 9.2 Carat. Its price is Rs. 10,200 — roughly Rs. 1,109 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GSN-GT-14 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

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.

Whoever you buy garnet from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every garnet for those three points before it is listed, a certificate is available on request, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
