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

This pair of transparent almandine garnets presents a consistent, saturated red tone, each stone originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The stones weigh 1.03 carats and 1.04 carats respectively, with round outlines and mixed brilliant cuts. Dimensions are 6.08 x 6.08 x 3.76 mm for the 1.03 carat stone, and 6.12 x 6.14 x 3.79 mm for the 1.04 carat stone. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent. The color intensity is vivid, the transparency is high, and no enhancement has been applied to either gem. These objective characteristics make the pair suitable for matched settings where symmetry and visual balance are required.

The selection and cutting process that produced this matched pair emphasizes precision and discipline. During selection, rough material from Sri Lanka was examined for color zoning, clarity distribution, and crystal orientation, with the goal of pairing stones that would present uniform hue and tone after cutting. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to balance face up brilliance with color saturation, using a calibrated crown and pavilion geometry to allow light return while preserving depth of color. Cutting tolerances were maintained to the nearest hundredth of a millimeter, resulting in the close dimensional correspondence visible between the two stones. Careful alignment of key facets and consistent polishing techniques yield matching scintillation patterns, which is essential for pairs intended for earrings or matched stud settings.

The Natural Gemstone Company documents the provenance, weights, and measurements for each stone, and confirms that these almandine garnets are natural and unenhanced. The pair combines technical quality with visual coherence, offering matched carat weights, comparable diameters, and nearly identical depths that support uniform mounting and consistent appearance on the finger or ear. For applications that require paired symmetry and natural origin, these round red almandine garnets provide a measured and well executed option.
