0.87 Ct. Pink Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.87 carat pear shape pink garnet presents a precisely executed mixed brilliant cut, with dimensions of 5.93 x 5.85 x 3.67 mm, offering an optimal balance between table surface and pavilion depth to maximize return of light. The mixed brilliant faceting combines a brilliant cut crown with a step influenced pavilion, producing scintillation from the crown facets and controlled light leakage through the pavilion to enhance saturation. The material is transparent, with an intense color intensity that displays a rich pink to purplish pink saturation under standard viewing, and an excellent polish that yields crisp facet junctions and lively facet contrast. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, with inclusions of minimal size and position that do not interrupt visual performance, preserving both brilliance and color uniformity. No enhancement has been applied to this stone, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for well colored garnet material with fine crystalline homogeneity.

The 0.87 carat weight is a defining attribute of this garnet, contributing substantially to its market value and rarity profile. In the garnet family, and particularly for pink garnets of Ceylon provenance, pieces approaching one carat remain uncommon, because the rough crystal habit and typical zoning often limit the yield of large, clean, well colored material. At 0.87 carat this specimen crosses the threshold where weight begins to proportionally influence price per carat, while still maintaining an elegant spread in finger wear due to its measured dimensions. The pear outline further enhances perceived size, creating a longer visual axis that reads larger on the hand than a round of equivalent weight, making this stone highly desirable for bespoke solitaire rings and pendant designs where both color intensity and optical performance are critical.

The Natural Gemstone Company offers this garnet as a natural, untreated example of Ceylon craftsmanship, ready for setting by experienced jewelers. Its combination of intense color, meticulous mixed brilliant faceting, and excellent polish ensures strong table scintillation and lively crown dispersion, while the near one carat weight provides an attractive balance of rarity and wearability. Collectors and connoisseurs seeking a vivid pink garnet with transparent clarity and proven provenance will find this 0.87 carat pear shape gem an exceptional candidate for high quality jewelry projects or private collections.
