Like another reviewer, the stones in the ring I received were more a rose pink color than the deep red you'd expect with a garnet. That said, they were well-matched to each other (all the same pink-y shade) and I love the ring.  It gives the illusion of a eternity band, but the smooth/stoneless back band makes it more comfortable than if the stones went all the way around. I especially like the high profile of the settings.  Looks like it cost far more than it does.
