1.78 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Almandine Garnet Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

These paired almandine garnets from The Natural Gemstone Company stand apart in a market crowded with treated and poorly matched stones, because their matching brilliance and natural integrity make them ideal for earrings. We are offering a 0.91 carat stone and a 0.87 carat stone, each cut to a round mixed brilliant form, with precise dimensions of 6.01 x 5.99 x 3.69 mm and 6.00 x 5.99 x 3.57 mm, and that close dimensional harmony translates into mirror image performance once set. The mixed brilliant cut combines a lively table flash with deep pavilion reflections, producing scintillation that outshines simple step cuts and single facet styles commonly seen in lower grade garnets. The clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which in practice gives these gems an eye clean appearance and allows the vivid red color intensity to sing without distraction. An excellent polish further maximizes light return and sparkle, so when these two stones are placed side by side they present a uniform, sparkling face that behaves like a matched pair rather than two separate stones.

Compared to other market options, these Ceylon origin almandines have distinct advantages in quality, value, and longevity, because they are completely natural with no enhancement. Many garnets offered online are heat treated, fracture filled, or selected for size rather than optical harmony, which can leave earrings looking mismatched or flat in the hand. These Sri Lankan almandines offer vivid color intensity and consistent facet symmetry, which means settings from simple studs to halo or bezel designs will show even, complementary fire and brilliance. The slight 0.04 mm difference in diameter is negligible to the eye, and the consistent depth proportions ensure matching light performance, making them far superior to a randomly paired selection. For anyone choosing stones specifically for earrings, this pair represents smart value, because matched brilliance and polish reduce the need for compromise in mounting and design, and they deliver the balanced, professional look buyers expect. Choose these pieces from The Natural Gemstone Company if you want an untreated, well matched, and vividly colored garnet pair that will elevate earring designs with symmetry and sparkle.
