4.51 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Garnet pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Step into a world of timeless elegance with this exquisite pair of Ceylon garnets offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. With a long and storied history, garnets have been revered for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire. Known as the 'gem of faith,' garnets were often carved into seals and signet rings, prized for their deep, enchanting color and perceived powers of protection. The garnet’s presence in the annals of our collective histories has solidified its status as a beacon of stability and enduring beauty.

Our transparent garnets, refined in round shapes and meticulously cut in a checkerboard pattern, stand as a testament to their legendary past. The skilled artistry of the checkerboard cut brings an additional dimension of brilliance to their vivid red hue. The larger gem weighs in at 2.47 carats with dimensions of 8.10 x 8.06 x 4.30 mm, while its companion, at 2.04 carats and measuring 7.99 x 8.07 x 5.19 mm, complements it perfectly. With clarity evaluated as very slightly included, these garnets boast a vivid intensity that captivates, echoing the fiery resilience of the gemstone's ancient origins in Sri Lanka's rich terrains.

Imagine these luminous gems as the central flourish in a bespoke piece, harmonized with complementary stones. Their striking red demeanor pairs effortlessly with the still serenity of diamonds, offering a classic palette fit for royalty. In a custom ring, the invincible brightness of diamonds would create a sensational contrast, highlighting the rich, warm undertones of the garnets and creating a narrative of elegance and fiery resolve. Alternatively, consider these garnets set alongside blue sapphires. The synergy of such vibrant and disparate hues would result in a visually intoxicating piece very much alive with the spirit of its heritage. Together, these gems would echo the historical dos-a-dos symbolism of unity, passion, and understanding - perfect for commemorative jewelry that marks significant life events or intentions.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we take immense pride in turning such natural strokes of beauty into familial heirlooms. These garnets offer more than mere glamour; they tell a story. A custom-designed piece incorporating these garnets proclaims their historical significance and classic grace, fusing yesterday's elegance with today's discerning tastes.
