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

There is an unmistakable allure in this matched pair of marquise garnets, a quiet magnificence that speaks to connoisseurs of rare beauty and meticulous craftsmanship. At 1.37 carats and 1.28 carats respectively, these stones present a harmonious balance of presence and refinement, perfect for those who appreciate proportion as a hallmark of luxury. Their orangish red hue is intense and alive, a warm and complex color that shifts with the light to reveal coppery flashes and velvety garnet depth. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, these gems are completely natural, with no enhancements, a clarity grade described as very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that allows the mixed brilliant cut facets to sing with lively scintillation. The result is transparency and brilliance that feels both intimate and opulent, a jewel quality unmistakable to the trained eye, and utterly seductive to anyone seeking an object of desire.

The dimensions of these marquise gems are a study in perfection, each carefully measured at 9.69 by 4.76 by 3.45 millimeters for the 1.37 carat stone, and 9.57 by 4.77 by 3.26 millimeters for the 1.28 carat companion. These proportions create an elegantly elongated silhouette that flatters the hand and elongates the finger in ring form, while also lending themselves to a myriad of bespoke creations. Their gentle length and narrow profile make them ideal as paired accents in earrings, side stones in a three stone ring, or as the twin focal points in a refined bypass or paired pendant design. Because they are a matched pair, there is an inherent symmetry that suits designs which celebrate mirror image and balance, yet their very slight variation in weight and depth imbues a handcrafted piece with character, ensuring a bespoke commission will feel singular rather than mass produced. The mixed brilliant cut further enhances versatility, combining depth and table brilliance so that whether set in platinum to accentuate the cool contrast, in yellow gold to warm and deepen the orange red tone, or in rose gold for an utterly modern vintage inspired effect, these garnets will perform with radiant authority.

To possess these Ceylon garnets is to claim an adornment that announces taste, discernment, and an appreciation for natural provenance. The Natural Gemstone Company presents them not merely as stones, but as the beginning of a narrative, an opportunity to commission a piece that reflects your individuality and status. Our clients often seek commissions that elevate a gem of this size into heirloom quality, envisioning delicate halos to amplify fire, custom knife edge or cathedral settings to showcase profile, or bespoke twin ring designs that turn symmetry into a statement. Because there is no enhancement, the gem’s color is authentic, its polish superb, and its clarity wonderfully eye clean, attributes that ensure longevity and value. We invite you to imagine these garnets in a private consultation, placed in a bespoke design where metal, setting, and personal vision coalesce into a wearable work of art. With careful consideration of proportion and setting, these stones will translate into an accessory that is at once intimate and commanding, a testament to refined taste and the discreet luxury that comes from owning something genuinely rare.
