The garnet set in this signet ring is really different. It has a smooth, cabochon shaped top and a checkerboard, mixed cut underneath. The effect created by seeing the checkerboard pattern through the smooth top is just, well,…fun!
Garnet is the birthstone for January. This ring features the most common garnet, the Mozambique garnet named after the place it was originally discovered. The beautiful deep red of Mozambique garnet is often confused with ruby. But, you’ll notice upon closer inspection, that Mozambique garnets tend to be darker and have an earthier, brownish undertone.

Care Instructions:
Silver does tarnish when exposed to oxygen. You can prevent tarnishing by storing your ring in an air tight ziploc bag when it is not being worn.
If a build up develops under the setting(s) resulting in the stones looking less brilliant, simply take a soft tooth brush, dip it in some warm soapy water and proceed to scrub away the dirt/build-up under the setting(s).
In addition to free cleaning and polishing for life you are also welcome to send/bring back your piece at any time for a complimentary assessment.
Over time a ring you wear every day will get small scratches developing into a lovely ‘worn’ polished patina. We encourage people to learn to love this burnished finish as constantly polishing your ring actually removes a tiny bit of metal each time.
