2.30 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Garnet Pair from Tanzania

This matched pair comprises a 1.10 carat and a 1.20 carat round color change garnet, each fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, with dimensions of 5.82 x 5.87 x 3.74 mm and 5.83 x 5.76 x 4.07 mm respectively. Both stones are transparent, with a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and they exhibit intense color saturation and excellent polish. The material is natural, with no enhancement reported, and the pair is sourced from Tanzania. The stones demonstrate a notable color change in different lighting environments, presenting warmer red to brownish red tones under incandescent lighting, and cooler brown to olive brown tones under fluorescent lighting. The combination of precise cutting and a mixed brilliant facet pattern enhances scintillation while preserving the color change effect, delivering controlled light return and consistent visual appeal across viewing conditions.

As a matched pair intended for inclusion in luxury jewelry collections, these garnets offer versatility for classic and contemporary designs, and they are particularly well suited to symmetrical applications such as stud earrings, matched pendant and ring sets, and sophisticated cufflinks. The near parity in carat weight and dimensions ensures balanced visual harmony when set side by side, while the slight difference in weight can be accommodated by matched settings that prioritize optical symmetry. The intense color change adds a dynamic element to high end pieces, allowing designers to create jewels that shift character with ambient light, thereby offering wearers a compounded sensory experience. These garnets pair elegantly with yellow gold to emphasize warm overtones, with rose gold to enhance depth, and with platinum or white gold to provide contrast and modernity. For durability and longevity in everyday wear items, settings that secure the girdle and protect the pavilion and culet points are recommended. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this pair represents a balanced combination of technical quality and aesthetic nuance, suitable for bespoke commissions and curated collections where natural color phenomena and precise matching are prioritized.
