0.80 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent marquise shape red garnet presents a precise combination of form and finish, weighing 0.80 carat and measuring 7.23 by 4.30 by 3.18 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut that balances light return and structural symmetry. The stone displays a dark color intensity that yields a rich, saturated red hue, supported by an eye clean clarity grade as evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that produces crisp facet reflections. No enhancement has been applied, preserving the natural state of the gem, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing garnets with deep, consistent color. The marquise outline offers an elongated silhouette that enhances perceived size on the finger and complements both classic and contemporary mounting styles.

The 0.80 carat weight is a defining attribute of this garnet, contributing materially to its rarity and market value, as garnets of comparable color and clarity become noticeably less common as weight increases within this size range. At close to a full carat, this piece achieves a balance between wearable scale and investment quality, providing a presence that is discernible in fine jewelry without compromising durability or versatility. The weight amplifies the depth of tone and the gem is dense enough to exhibit strong color saturation while maintaining transparency, characteristics that collectors and designers prize when sourcing stones for rings, pendants, or bespoke settings. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this garnet as an unenhanced, well cut example from Ceylon, ideal for a client seeking a naturally occurring specimen where weight, provenance, and cut combine to offer both aesthetic appeal and long term value.
