0.48 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Demantoid Garnet Pair

From deep time and pressure within the earth, these demantoid garnets began their journey as tiny crystals catching the light in mineral veins, before being discovered and carefully released from their host rock, a quiet passage from raw nature to the hands of skilled cutters. The origin of this particular pair is unknown, which adds to their mystique, yet their identity as true demantoid garnets is clear in their lively green hue and scintillating fire. Each stone was shaped into an oval with mixed brilliant cut facets to maximize brilliance, one weighing 0.22 carats and the other 0.26 carats, with dimensions of 4.23 x 3.20 x 2.11 mm and 4.11 x 3.18 x 2.34 mm respectively. At The Natural Gemstone Company we matched these two gems for color and proportion, honoring their medium intense green color intensity, their very slightly included clarity when evaluated at eye level, and their excellent polish, all while preserving their natural state, no enhancement applied.

As a piece of jewelry, demantoid garnet carries both beauty and practical resilience, making it well suited for daily wear when set with care. Demantoid garnet sits on the Mohs hardness scale around 6.5 to 7.5, which means it resists everyday scratches from common materials, and its fine polish and robust crystal structure give it notable sparkle that endures. For rings that see frequent impact, a protective bezel or partial halo setting will prolong the life of the stones by shielding the girdle and edges, while studs and pendants are excellent low risk settings that allow the gems to shine against the skin. Because these gems are very slightly included, it is wise to avoid hard knocks and to clean them with warm, soapy water and a soft brush, rather than aggressive solvents or abrasive cleaners. When crafted with thoughtful settings and cared for gently, these demantoid garnets will remain a vivid accent in everyday jewelry, their green light reflecting a journey from deep earth to timeless adornment, an offering you can trust from The Natural Gemstone Company.
