Solitaire Demantoid Garnet Pendant 0.80 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This pendant centers on a beautiful, transparent 0.80 carat round yellowish green demantoid garnet, measuring 5.75 by 5.71 by 3.45 millimeters with a mixed brilliant cut, intense color saturation, and an excellent polish. The gem is graded as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, and it is completely natural with no enhancement, originating from Namibia. The stone is fully set in 14K yellow gold, with secure four prong settings and an open gallery that allows light to enter from beneath to maximize brilliance. The overall execution emphasizes clarity of color, optical performance from the mixed brilliant facets, and a refined finish that elevates the gem beyond ordinary mass produced pieces.

What sets this pendant apart from the typical market offerings is the unmistakable handcrafted attention to detail, applied at every stage by skilled artisans. Instead of a one step casting, the setting shows hand formed prongs and a delicately worked bail with interlaced motifs that are filed, polished, and finished by hand, ensuring symmetry and comfort that machines alone rarely achieve. Compared with factory made pendants or lab grown lookalikes, this natural demantoid displays rarer color and liveliness. Compared with other green garnets or green gemstones that are often heat treated, dyed, or synthetically produced, this piece is notable for its untouched natural state, intense saturation, and superior polish that together deliver greater depth and sparkle. The mixed brilliant cut is chosen to balance fire and brilliance, making the gem appear larger than many stones of similar carat weight.

For customers seeking both aesthetic distinction and long term value, this pendant represents a smart choice. The combination of a rare Namibian demantoid, careful hand finishing, and a 14K yellow gold setting creates a durable, wearable heirloom that outperforms many contemporary alternatives in both presence and authenticity. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind this pendant as an example of why choosing a well cut natural stone and a handcrafted setting offers superior beauty and value. To preserve its brilliance, clean gently with mild soap and a soft cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, and store separately to protect the fine polish and delicate setting.
