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

This matched pair from The Natural Gemstone Company consists of a 1.17 carat and a 1.05 carat cushion shaped red garnet, dimensioned at 6.01 by 5.95 by 3.79 millimeters and 5.93 by 5.89 by 3.68 millimeters respectively, each cut as a mixed brilliant. The mixed brilliant design combines a proportionally sized crown with carefully faceted star and kite facets and a pavilion that integrates both brilliant and step cutting principles, producing controlled return of light across the face of the stone. Measured depth proportions are optimized for light return, near 63 percent on the larger stone and near 62 percent on the smaller stone, which supports strong internal reflection and balanced scintillation. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, resulting in an effectively eye clean appearance with inclusions confined to microscopic features visible only under magnification. Color is described as vivid intensity, with saturated, even red tones that remain consistent through multiple viewing angles, and the polish is excellent, yielding crisp facet junctions and high mirror finish on table and pavilion facets. No enhancement has been applied, and the material is natural garnet originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, which contributes to the stone chemistry and inherent color saturation.

The flawless symmetry of these cushion garnets is a defining attribute of their visual appeal, because uniform facet alignment maximizes coherent light return and minimizes unwanted windowing or dark areas. Precisely matched pavilion angles and consistently placed crown facets ensure that facets pair and mirror each other between both stones, producing synchronous flash patterns that enhance perception of size and color when set together. Symmetry also stabilizes color distribution, so that the vivid red appears uniform from girdle to table rather than patchy or zoned, and it improves pairing for matched jewelry applications by maintaining equal girdle thickness and consistent outline. Craftsmanship is evident in the exactness of culet placement, the evenness of facet facets and the smoothness of the girdles, attributes that The Natural Gemstone Company evaluates during selection to guarantee performance in prong or bezel settings. For buyers who prioritize technical cutting quality, color fidelity and matched pair harmony, these garnets offer a high degree of optical precision and ready compatibility for fine jewelry production.
