Accent Stones Rhodolite Garnet Ring 2.72 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring begins its story in the lush hills of Ceylon, where our team at The Natural Gemstone Company sources a rare, transparent rhodolite garnet. Mined with respect for the land, this 2.72 carat radiant shape gem was recovered through partnerships with small scale miners who follow responsible extraction practices, use minimal mechanization, and prioritize land rehabilitation and water conservation. Communities involved receive fair compensation and direct investment in local education and infrastructure, and each step from the mine to our workshop is documented to ensure traceability and accountability. Untreated and fully natural, the garnet retains its intense color saturation, eye clean clarity when viewed at eye level, and an excellent polish, with precise dimensions of 8.34 by 7.74 by 4.84 millimeters and a radiant cut that captures the warm, velvety red tones that make Sri Lankan rhodolites so beloved. The decision to leave the stone without enhancement honors its natural character, and the ethical sourcing story becomes part of the gem itself, a provenance you can feel when it catches the light.

In the hands of our master jewelers the gem is set in 14K yellow gold, where its square radiant silhouette is flanked by sparkling white round diamonds that elevate the composition while maintaining a timeless elegance. On one shoulder a set of white round diamonds weighing approximately 0.34 carat, and on the other shoulder a matched grouping weighing approximately 0.24 carat, their clarity graded Very Slightly Included and color graded F, provide crisp contrast and lively scintillation that complements the garnet without overpowering it. The ring’s prong setting and polished band are executed to exacting standards, ensuring the rich red center sits secure and presented to its fullest effect. This piece reads as both a celebration of natural splendor and a pledge to ethical practice, an heirloom quality ring that connects the wearer to the origin of its material, to the people who mined it responsibly, and to the craftsmen who shaped it into a lasting treasure.
