0.83 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Demantoid Garnet Pair from Namibia

This matched pair of transparent demantoid garnets offered by The Natural Gemstone Company presents a rare combination of color, cut, and provenance, ideal for discerning collectors and high end jewelers. The two stones weigh 0.39 carats and 0.44 carats respectively, and are fashioned into classic oval shapes, with precise dimensions of 4.72 x 3.68 x 2.94 millimeters and 4.60 x 3.72 x 3.11 millimeters. Each gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style, a choice that balances pavilion faceting for optimal fire with crown faceting for face up brilliance and light return. These stones display intense green color intensity, a key attribute that distinguishes top quality demantoids, and they show very slightly included clarity when evaluated at eye level, confirming that any natural internal features are minimal and do not detract from overall transparency or sparkle.

From a gemological perspective, several features make this pair particularly attractive to an educated buyer. Demantoid garnet is a member of the andradite group, prized for its high dispersion which can produce lively fire comparable to fine gemstones. The mixed brilliant cuts on these ovals are optimized to showcase both the stone’s inherent brilliance and its dispersion, while an excellent polish ensures sharp facet junctions and clean light performance. The clarity grade of very slightly included at eye level means that inclusions, when present, are typically small and not visually obtrusive, preserving the stones’ luminous appearance. Importantly, these garnets are natural and untreated, with no enhancements reported, and their origin is Namibia, a region known for producing demantoids with fresh, lively green tones that differ from the deeper olive shades sometimes seen from other sources.

As a matched pair, these demantoids are an exceptional choice for luxury jewelry collections where symmetry, color harmony, and provenance matter. Their closely matched sizes and complementary ovals make them ideal for premium stud earrings, where the mixed brilliant cuts will deliver mirrorlike sparkle when set in complementary metal. For more opulent designs, the pair can be set as the focal points in a halo composition with high color grade white diamonds to enhance perceived brightness, or framed in warm yellow gold to intensify the green, or in platinum to create a crisp, modern contrast. The moderate carat weights lend themselves well to refined everyday luxury pieces as well as to bespoke, high end creations that emphasize craftsmanship and material quality. Because they are a matched pair, the stones provide the visual balance that collectors and designers seek when creating symmetrical or paired jewelry elements.

For the serious buyer considering how these gems fit into a curated collection, several value factors are notable. The combination of intense natural color, excellent polish, mixed brilliant cutting, and untreated origin commands a premium relative to ordinary green garnets. Namibian demantoids are increasingly sought after by informed collectors, and owning a matched, eye pleasing pair enhances both aesthetic and collectible value. At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize transparent descriptions and can provide additional gemological documentation upon request, to support any appraisal or bespoke setting work. We recommend secure, professional mounting to protect these moderately sized ovals, routine cleaning with mild soap and warm water, and periodic inspection of settings to ensure longevity. For connoisseurs who value rarity, optical performance, and provenance, this matched pair of Namibian demantoid garnets represents a thoughtful acquisition that will integrate seamlessly into both classic and contemporary high end jewelry designs, while offering lasting visual appeal and collectible significance.
