Red Garnet Gemstone Engagement Rings by Carl Ansley

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for red garnet gemstone engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. Garnets symbolize loyalty and kindness. In a Grimm Fairy Tale, an old lady who rescues an injured bird is rewarded with a magical garnet that lights up the night. Gemvara's red garnet is an earthy red color that is found in Mozambique. Garnet is the birthstone for January, the zodiac gem for Aquarius, and 2nd anniversary gem. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Jeet Palavwala, Jessica Behzad, Ji Hwang, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Clean red garnet gemstone engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality red garnet gemstone engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

While designer Carl Ansley is inspired by the natural world, you'll see it most in the line and proportion of his modern pieces rather than in traditional motifs. Throughout his 22 year-career, which began at Tiffany & Co., Carl has developed a deep appreciation for the artistic process behind creating gorgeous, eye-catching jewelry. Form follows function but doesn't overwhelm it. For example, because rings can twist on the finger, he creates a natural curve high on a ring's shoulders so it will rest comfortably on the finger next to it. He takes great care to create jewelry that makes a bold statement in order to express a woman's own style and personality. Carl says the greatest accomplishment of his long career is designing and crafting his wife's diamond engagement ring and wedding band. It's just what you'd expect from a designer who thinks first of the woman who will wear his jewelry.

Garnet is the traveler's gem for it protects you when you are far from home. Early travelers used garnets as a talisman to keep away evil. A red garnet's color is the most important factor when purchasing this gem. The color should be a saturated, deep red with a hint of brown. A well-cut red garnet is also important because the right cut will maximize the color and well as allow the red garnet to shine.
