Garnets are practical, everyday gemstones, being durable and resistant to wear and tear, and relatively easy to work with in jewellery manufacturing. The latter owing to their resistance to heat.
Garnets lend themselves to all type of cutting, and no modern or historical cut really takes preference as being better to bring out the stones full potential. Suffice to say that as with all gemstones rounds are the most common followed by ovals, squares, octagons and pears.
