2.23 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Garnet Pair from Madagascar

This matched pair of color change garnets from Madagascar represents a refined option for educated buyers who value precise grading and a flawless surface presentation. Weighing 1.07 carats and 1.16 carats respectively, each gem is fashioned into an emerald cut with dimensions of 6.25 by 4.95 by 3.30 mm and 6.35 by 4.96 by 3.30 mm, making them exceptionally well matched for paired settings. The clarity grade is very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, indicating inclusions that are minimal and do not interfere with transparency or light transmission. Color intensity is assessed as intense, and the stones exhibit a genuine color change phenomenon that is prized among collectors and designers. Enhancement by heat treatment has been applied, a stable and accepted practice that optimizes hue and clarity without compromising the integrity of the crystal. The origin of Madagascar contributes to their desirability, as Malagasy garnets are known for well saturated tones and high quality rough material, traits that are confirmed in these examples by consistent color and robust crystal structure.

Beyond grading details, the most striking practical attribute of this pair is their smooth finish, with an excellent polish that elevates their suitability for high end design work. The emerald cut facets have been executed with precision, producing clean facet junctions and a broad, even table that showcases the color change and internal clarity without distraction. For bespoke jewelers, the smooth polished surfaces reduce the need for additional finishing and ensure comfortable wear in earrings, matched rings, or cufflinks. The slight difference in weight and near identical proportions create a harmonious balance that is important in paired pieces, while the very very slightly included clarity supports bright light return and color saturation when set in open or halo styles. At The Natural Gemstone Company we highlight these technical strengths to help you assess how these garnets will perform in finished pieces, and why they command attention from collectors and designers who prioritize surface quality, optical performance, and reliable origin documentation.
