1.06 Ct. Demantoid Garnet from Russia

There are moments when a gemstone arrives that feels less like merchandise and more like destiny, and this Russian demantoid garnet is one of those rare discoveries. Offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company, this transparent 1.06 carat round gem is a treasure for the collector who understands beauty and provenance. Its yellowish green hue and medium intense color intensity set it apart from ordinary stones, while its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish allow every facet to catch the light with luminous, subtle fire. We bring you a single, solitary example of this caliber, hand selected and presented without enhancement, a gem whose presence quietly announces that you are among the select few to own an unaltered piece of nature perfected by careful cutting.

As a gemstone professional I will describe the tangible qualities with clarity and respect, so you know exactly what you are acquiring. The stone measures 6.18 x 6.17 x 3.87 mm, a comfortable and versatile size for a ring, pendant, or bespoke design. At 1.06 carat the weight is balanced by a proportion that feels both intimate and substantial on the finger. The mixed brilliant cut blends the lively scintillation of brilliant faceting with the thoughtful pavilion proportions that preserve and amplify demantoid brilliance. Clarity is evaluated as slightly included at eye level, which means the stone appears transparent and lively to the unaided eye, while the gentle internal characteristics add character and individuality, proof that this is a natural, unenhanced gem. Origin is Russia, a source famed for producing the most desirable demantoids, and the stone’s excellent polish completes the package, delivering crisp facet junctions and a glassy surface that intensifies its radiant green.

Beyond measurements and grades there is a story written into the color and clarity that calls to the romantic heart, a story I imagine for the person who will wear this stone. Think of an early summer dawn in an old world garden, where dewy grasses hold the first light and a single blade reflects both sun and sky. This demantoid’s yellowish green tone captures that suspended moment between night and day, where hope becomes visible and promises are renewed. The slight inclusions act like tiny memories within the gem, delicate and discreet, telling of journeys through earth and time. They do not mar the beauty, they deepen it, the same way shared histories and small imperfections deepen a relationship and make two people inseparable. The optical life of this demantoid, born in the storied mines of Russia, seems to hold whispers of old romances, of secret gardens tended in silence, and of lovers who chose to preserve the quiet, honest things that matter most.

Owning this demantoid means joining a small circle of connoisseurs who prize rarity, story, and authenticity, a circle that The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to enter. We offer bespoke guidance on setting this gem to suit your personal vision, whether you prefer a minimalist solitaire that highlights the stone’s pure color and light, or a custom design that frames its unique character with complementary gems and precious metalwork. Because of its untouched nature and distinct personality, this piece is not replaceable by a mass produced alternative, it is an individual with provenance, and for the discerning buyer that alone makes it invaluable. If you are seeking a gem that carries romance, rarity, and refined presence, this Russian demantoid garnet awaits your stewardship, and we at The Natural Gemstone Company are ready to help you ensure it becomes the centerpiece of a lifetime.
