This 1.28-carat mint garnet is a natural, untreated trillion-cut stone from the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, and it is priced at $1,150. The soft mint green color reads bright and fresh, and at 6.1mm across the trillion cut gives a clean, geometric face that suits a modern solitaire. As a January-family green garnet, it offers a fresh alternative to a traditional white diamond center stone.

Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own. Each mint garnet is set into an engagement ring or a custom project designed with you, built by Heather and her team in their Boulder, Colorado studio using platinum or 10k, 14k, or 18k gold. You can also see this exact stone in person at the Boulder shop before you commit.

On durability, mint garnet sits at 7.5 on the Mohs scale. That is good for everyday wear, though it is softer than a 9-hardness sapphire, so anyone very hard on their hands might prefer a harder center stone. With reasonable care it holds up beautifully in daily-worn engagement rings.
