At a glance
01Garnet price by carat size
02In our stock, size moves the price per carat only a little — colour, clarity and cut matter more.
| Carat size | Typical / ct | Most stones / ct | In stock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Less than 4 ct | $171 | $126–$235 | 195 stones |
| 4–6 ct | $175 | $134–$246 | 102 stones |
| 6–10 ct | $193 | $126–$281 | 144 stones |
| More than 10 ct | $182 | $105–$304 | 177 stones |
“Most stones” is the middle half of our stock in that size, so one exceptional stone cannot skew it.
What moves the price
03Two stones of the same weight can differ several times in price. Colour comes first, its saturation and evenness, then clarity, the quality of the cut, origin and treatment. Every listing states each of these, so you can compare like with like.
