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

When you are searching for a singular pair of gemstones that will bring a project to completion, whether that project is a one of a kind engagement ring, a matched pair of heirloom earrings, or a prized addition to a connoisseur collection, these garnets answer that need with precision, beauty, and provenance. The Natural Gemstone Company presents a matched pair of translucent marquise shaped red garnets, weighing 1.64 carats and 1.56 carats respectively, each masterfully cabochon cut to reveal a warm, deep red glow. The stones measure 10.04 by 5.12 by 3.39 millimeters and 10.01 by 5.09 by 3.28 millimeters, and they display a dark color intensity that reads luxurious and refined in any setting. Clarity is graded very very slightly included at eye level, which means to the casual observer these gems present as clean and unmarked, and to the informed collector they offer the natural characteristics that confirm authenticity. There has been no enhancement, and the garnets originate from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing richly hued gemstones with excellent natural color.

If your priority is a gemstone that communicates depth and character rather than loud brilliance, this pair will satisfy that aesthetic desire completely. The cabochon finish produces a smooth, satiny surface and an internal glow rather than faceted sparkle, which is ideal for designs that emphasize color, silhouette, and stone integrity. The marquise shape lends an elegant, elongated profile, creating the illusion of length when set as side stones or a striking center when mirrored in bespoke designs. Because the pair is closely matched in weight, dimensions, tone, and polish, they are naturally suited for matched earrings, cufflinks, or dual accent stones on a custom engagement ring, so your design will be balanced and harmonious. Collectors who seek stones with documented origin and no enhancement will appreciate the combination of Sri Lankan provenance, natural translucency, and the clarity that is free of eye level distraction.

From a practical design perspective, the cabochon marquise profile brings both durability and versatility, and the measurements and carat weights provided allow precise planning for bezels, prongs, or custom mounts. The smooth dome and excellent polish mean these garnets sit comfortably in bezel settings, where the metal protects the girdle and highlights the rich red color, and they also respond beautifully to open back settings that allow light to pass and deepen the hue. The slightly different carat weights of 1.64 and 1.56 carats are a feature rather than a flaw, giving a handcrafted piece a charming natural pairing that still reads as matched at a glance. For metal choices, warmer alloys such as yellow gold or rose gold will amplify the stones warm red tones, while cool alloys such as white gold or platinum will present a contemporary contrast that makes the color appear more saturated. Every aspect of these garnets has been evaluated for polish, symmetry, and color consistency, so you can move forward with confidence, knowing the pair will perform beautifully in both everyday wear and special occasion jewelry.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that finding the right stone ends the search and begins the story you want to tell, and we are committed to making that transition effortless. These garnets are ideal for customers who want natural, untreated material with a clear origin, and they deliver on rarity, tactile beauty, and pairing precision. For care, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and warm soapy water is recommended, avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners due to the cabochon surface and natural inclusions, and periodic professional inspections will ensure secure settings. If you would like additional high resolution images, a short video showing the translucency under different lights, or guidance on custom settings that will best showcase the marquise cabochon shape, our team is ready to assist.
