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

When you are searching for a companion piece that feels both timeless and singular, you want a gemstone that answers more than one need, something that offers deep color, dependable clarity, and a proven natural origin. You may be looking for a pair to complete an heirloom setting, a distinctive pair of stones for a bespoke engagement ring, or a collector grade matched set that reflects provenance and quality. You want reassurance that the stones will perform on the hand, under various lights, and over time. You want craftsmanship in the cutting, and you want authenticity in origin and treatment history. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that search, and we aim to present gems that resolve that search with certainty and calm.

This pair of marquise shape red garnets meets those needs with precise, transparent detail and elegant presence, each stone weighing 1.77 carats and 1.72 carats respectively, with dimensions 10.15 x 5.21 x 3.54 mm and 10.07 x 5.18 x 3.44 mm. These garnets are cabochon cut, showing a beautiful translucent surface that invites a warm inner glow rather than a faceted flash, and they display a dark color intensity that reads as rich, saturated red when viewed face on, and as a deep garnet glow through the cabochon dome. Clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are minimal and do not distract from the visual appeal or durability. The polish is excellent, giving the surface a smooth, mirror like sheen that enhances wearability and light response. There has been no enhancement to these stones, and they originate from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing gems with character and depth. Taken together the matching weights, the closely aligned dimensions, and the cabochon marquise form create a pair that sits beautifully in mirror settings, paired studs, or creative three stone arrangements where symmetry and harmony matter.

If your quest is to find a matched pair that will signal deliberate taste and long term value, this duo resolves that quest. For an engagement or a special commission the marquise cabochon silhouette offers an antique inspired look that sets a piece apart, while collectors will appreciate the natural, untreated origin and the credible clarity grade. Practical considerations are also addressed, the cabochon form reduces the vulnerability of points and edges, and the dark, saturated color minimizes the effect of minor surface wear over time. We recommend simple care routines such as gentle cleaning with mild soap and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme thermal shock, and storing the stones separately to maintain their excellent polish. The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to provide additional photographs, certificate information, or advice on setting styles that will best showcase the deep red translucence of these marquise garnets, and we welcome the opportunity to help you finalize a design or to ship samples for closer inspection. Your search for a matched pair with natural provenance, attractive presentation, and enduring charm ends here.
