There is a saying that a smitten young man should spend a month's salary on an engagement ring for his prospective fiancé; a story concocted by a very cunning jeweler no doubt! However these days, especially because of the recession, we have all had to make certain cut backs; sayings like these are at the very least impractical and should be taken with a pinch of salt. Instead of spending a fortune on an enormous diamond when you cannot afford to, a young man in love should be thinking long term and looking for an equally desirable, yet affordable alternative. This alternative can be found in the stunning beauty of garnet rings.
Garnet is a silicate mineral with a crystalline structure similar to a diamond but it also has a deep, luscious red color that would perfectly symbolize the passionate feelings a young man has for the object of his affection. Lest we forget that is what the whole giving of an engagement or any other ring is all about; symbolism of something so much more important than material goods. Your beloved is not interested in the ring itself as much as she is interested in the fact that you love her and quite simply want her as your wife.

Now even if you want to spend a great deal of money and can afford to, garnet based jewelry settings come in all shapes, sizes and materials used from silver to regular or white gold, and platinum. The settings can range from 1.4 to 2.7 karats and thus their price range varies from less than 0 to well over 0. All these jewelry settings still have that deep, clear, luscious and passionate red stone at their center that will most certainly make her very generous with her affections and deliver her heart right into your hands. Now if that is not a great deal, then what is?
Speaking of hearts, a garnet can also be quite nicely shaped in a great variety of forms including that of a heart or oval shape. The gems can, in addition, be cut into square and emerald cut shapes which if put in a properly robust 2.7 karat setting can be a wonderful gift for a lady to give to a man. So thus it can be concluded that garnet rings are a superb gem for either a man or woman for their affordability, variety of styles and exquisite beauty. The stunning and passionately deep red color of the gem will easily turn heads and win hearts wherever it is spotted.
