1.76 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Red Garnet Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pair of transparent red garnets, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, exhibits precise cutting and natural color saturation that will appeal to technically minded buyers, collectors, and designers seeking exclusivity. The stones weigh 0.90 carats and 0.86 carats respectively, with measured dimensions of 6.08 by 6.09 by 3.65 millimeters, and 6.13 by 6.12 by 3.31 millimeters. Each gem is fashioned into a round outline using a mixed brilliant cut, a faceting strategy that combines a brilliant style crown with modified pavilion geometry to optimize red saturations and internal light return. The cutting demonstrates controlled facet junctions and excellent polish, yielding sharp facet reflections and stable windowing behavior. The stones are evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, indicating no visible inclusions to the unaided eye, and the vivid color intensity is uniform across both stones, a marker of high quality Ceylon origin material with stable chromophores and minimal zoning. No enhancement has been applied, preserving the natural crystal chemistry and ensuring long term color stability.

From a proportions perspective these garnets are engineered to balance face up brilliance with color depth, the first stone presenting a depth to diameter ratio of approximately 0.600, and the companion presenting a ratio of approximately 0.541, numbers that reflect slightly different pavilion strategies while maintaining visual harmony. The modest difference in weight and depth provides an interesting pairing dynamic for bespoke settings, allowing a setter to play with mounting height or bezel profile while keeping matched color and crown appearance. Craftsmanship notes include consistent girdle thickness, precise culet alignment in the mixed brilliant layout, and an overall polish grade of excellent, which together maximize scintillation without sacrificing the rich red body tone. Origin is Ceylon, and the lack of treatments underscores the rarity of a matched, transparent, eye clean pair in this size class. This pair is ideal for high end stud earrings, matched accent stones in custom pieces, or as a collector grade pair for those who prioritize natural material, exacting cut parameters, and provenance.
