Pink Red Garnet

ruby or garnet gem?
I am in the process of ordering a custom class ring for highschool by the company Herff Jones. although my birthday is in may and my stone is emerald, my favorite color is red. but i have a problem picking which stone i want! The garnet (january) looks a little darker red than the ruby (july) and in some pictures the ruby looks like its a little bit pink/magenta, which i don't want. but i don't like dark red like garnet. is it just the lighting thats getting me confused? or is ruby really have a pink tint in it??
Rubies come in a really wide range of reds: they can have tints of bink, purple or even brown. Really bright red (called pigeon blood red") rubies are very expensive (many thousands) and hard to find. In your class ring, you may have the option of getting a synthetic ruby and your odds are better of finding the color you want at an affordable price. Incidentally, garnets also come in a wide range of colors - though dark red (pyrope) is the most common. The website below has more info:
