Propose in gorgeous style with a garnet engagement ring from Blue Nile. Deep red garnets pair wonderfully with white gold or platinum settings. Symbolizing love and compassion, a garnet engagement ring is the perfect expression of your love.
Garnet has long been a symbol of love, compassion and friendship. It is also the birthstone for January and the gemstone for the second anniversary.
Is garnet suitable for an engagement ring?
A garnet makes for a stylish and unique alternative to diamond engagement rings, and you may be able to afford a much larger center stone with garnet. While durable enough for daily wear, garnet gemstones are more prone to chipping than diamonds, so take care to avoid rough wear, remove when doing work with your hards, and inspect regularly.
Can garnets be worn daily?
Yes! With a Mohs rating of 6.5 to 7.5, garnets are just durable enough for daily wear, provided you take care and prevent exposure to hard blows or rough wear.
