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

The story of garnet reaches back through centuries of trade and tradition, a gem that has long symbolized protection, passion, and perseverance, and this matched pair carries that legacy with both authenticity and grace. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, these oval red garnets are small treasures of geological history, each cut to reveal the depth of their origin and the way light moves through time worn stone. With weights of 0.83 carats and 0.97 carats, and dimensions of 7.13 x 5.16 x 2.79 mm and 7.16 x 5.11 x 3.27 mm, they are intimate in scale yet grand in character, ideal for designs that honor lineage and quiet distinction. The mixed brilliant cut gives each gem a classic face with modern brilliance, while the intense color intensity and eye clean clarity as evaluated at eye level allow a vivid, uncompromised red to radiate with every movement. No enhancement has been applied to these stones, preserving their natural story and the honest tone of their hue, and the excellent polish speaks to a finishing touch that respects both tradition and exacting skill.

The matching of these two garnets is a deliberate act of craftsmanship, a discipline that The Natural Gemstone Company takes as both art and duty, ensuring that pairings are not accidental but thoughtfully harmonized. Craftsmen matched size, depth, and tone so a single pair can anchor heirloom pieces with mirrored balance, whether set as earrings, cufflinks, or a bespoke ring for a legacy commission. Attention to the pavilion depths and crown angles in the mixed brilliant cut enhances sparkle and maintains a consistent face up presentation, so that the gems read as a unified expression of color and light. The near identical proportions and complementary masses of 0.83 carats and 0.97 carats make them easy to set symmetrically while retaining a human scale that honors the hand that wears them. For collectors and connoisseurs who prize historical resonance and enduring workmanship, this matched pair is a testament to the centuries long dialogue between nature and craft, and a thoughtful offering from The Natural Gemstone Company for those who seek to carry tradition forward with every careful setting.
