Large Natural Garnet Cabochon Ring in Sterling Silver

Passion. Protection. Power.

Some reds sit there looking pretty. This one glows. A big, smooth, glossy garnet in the deepest wine red, set in shiny sterling silver, and when the light passes through it, the whole stone lights up from the inside like a glass of shiraz held up to a candle. Classy. Confident. Slightly dangerous.

• Deep, glossy red that lights up from within
• Solid sterling silver bezel setting with a comfortable 3 mm band
• January birthstone

Why you'll love it

Most garnet rings are faceted to sparkle. The Magic Garnet Ring is different. It's a cabochon, which means the garnet is polished into a smooth, glossy dome instead of being cut with facets. So instead of sparkle, you get depth and glow: rich red at the edges, warm and luminous in the centre where the light shines through.

It's big enough to be the star of your outfit and simple enough to wear with anything. Try it with denim, a black dress or a crisp white shirt. Red and silver, done right.

We don't call it Magic for nothing.

The inclusions are the good bit

Look closely and you'll see tiny natural inclusions inside your garnet. Inclusions are natural lines, specks and colour variations that formed inside the stone over millions of years. In a cabochon garnet they catch the light and add to that inner glow.

Because it's a natural gemstone, the colour, glow and inclusions in your ring will vary slightly from the photos. No two are the same, and yours is the only one exactly like it.

What does garnet mean?

Garnet is known as the stone of passion and protection, and has been worn as a talisman of love and courage for centuries. It's traditionally associated with:

• Confidence and energy
• Self-belief and motivation
• Protection from negativity
• Love, devotion and connection

Garnet is also the birthstone for January, symbolising renewal, grounding and lasting strength. We can't promise it'll get you through January with your resolutions intact. But it'll look fabulous while you try.

Care

• Take your ring off before the gym, gardening, cleaning or anything where it could be knocked. A polished cabochon can scratch or chip with a hard knock.
• Remove it before swimming and showering, and keep it away from perfume, hand cream and harsh chemicals.
• Clean the garnet with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. No ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
• Polish the sterling silver with your Desiderate Sparkle Cloth, taking care around the stone.
• Store it on its own so it doesn't get scratched by other jewellery.

Magic Garnet Ring FAQs

Is this a real garnet?

Yes. The Magic Garnet Ring features a genuine natural garnet set in sterling silver. Because it's natural, every stone's colour, glow and inclusions are slightly different.

What is a garnet cabochon?

A cabochon is a gemstone polished into a smooth, rounded dome instead of being cut with facets. A garnet cabochon shows off the stone's deep colour and inner glow rather than sparkle.

How big is the garnet?

The garnet measures 18 x 13 mm and the ring face is 21 x 16 mm, making it a large statement ring. The band is 3 mm wide.

Why does my garnet have inclusions?

Inclusions are natural lines and specks that form inside a gemstone as it grows. They show your garnet is natural and help create its glow when light passes through.

Can I wear a garnet ring every day?

Yes, with a little care. Garnet is a fairly durable gemstone, but take it off for the gym, gardening, cleaning and swimming to protect the polished surface.

Do you make this ring in larger sizes?

Desiderate offers inclusive ring sizing. Check the sizes available at checkout and use our Ring Size Guide if you're unsure.

Is garnet the January birthstone?

Yes. Garnet is the birthstone for January, which makes this ring a meaningful birthday gift for a January baby. Or anyone who looks good in red. Which is everyone.
