Here is a garnet I found on the internet that looks a lot like the one I had in a ring many years ago. I'd always wanted a gown this color, yet never could get the right color.

Lois, I wear my mother's garnet ring; her birthstone. It's a slim oval, very very dark red. Unless there's light on it, it almost looks black. This stone you posted is beautiful, so your ring must be lovely.

It's my birthstone as well. Stupidly, I took it off in a powder room to wash my hands, walked out without it and it was gone when I returned. I'd had it for years. I've lost a lot of good rings over the years. My diamonds are locked in my son's safes, thankfully, and I rarely wear any jewelry today.
 
I like red in very small doses. The garnet ring sounds beautiful. A cardinal in a forest of green is about the right ratio of red to green. When I had a job mixing colors if there was too much red you might as well throw the batch away and start anew. Other colors could be neutralized but not red. As an Aries red is supposed to be my color. It is not. But I love it as an accent or watered down as certain pinks or corals.
