1.14 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A single ember of the earth, this transparent red garnet weighs 1.14 carat, and rests in a graceful fancy shape that measures 9.16 x 7.08 x 2.92 mm, a delicate geometry that invites the eye to linger, and the heart to remember. Cut in a refined step cut, each facet is a deliberate terrace of light, an avenue through which color travels like a slow sunrise, revealing layers of warm crimson and rich wine that glow with vivid intensity. The polish is excellent, a satin mirror that allows the surface to breathe and shimmer, and the gem arrives to you exactly as nature intended, with no enhancement, and a provenance that traces back to the storied soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a place where centuries of gem lore have shaped the finest of garnets. From The Natural Gemstone Company this stone is offered as a rare, honest expression of the earth, a treasure that feels intimate and eternal in equal measure.

Within the depth of this garnet, tiny stories are written in light, the inclusions that give the gem its unique signature, and its character. Graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the internal features are gentle as brushstrokes, small pinpoints and hairlike feather veils that nod to the gem mother beneath the surface, they are not flaws to hide, they are fingerprints to cherish. These minute traces catch the light like distant stars, a subtle dance that humanizes the perfection of the step cut, reminding the wearer that beauty in gemstones is most honest when it carries the memory of its passage through time. Inclusions serve as the garnet s own biography, a private atlas that assures collectors and dreamers alike that this 1.14 carat beauty is natural, unaffected by heat or chemical treatment, and true to the legacy of Sri Lankan gem making. Held between tweezers or cradled in a setting, the small internal markers glint with personality, they anchor the vivid color to a real origin, and they transform a polished object into a living companion.

Imagine this garnet seated in a slender bezel or an architectural east west setting, the step cut aligned like a window to a warm interior, resting across a finger as a secret ember, or suspended as the heart of a locket that warms against the pulse. At 9.16 x 7.08 mm the proportions are refined enough for an elegant ring, and low enough in profile to live beside daily gestures, and the excellent polish ensures that every movement becomes a poem of reflection and color. Because it is unenhanced, the stone matures with its wearer, the vivid red holding its honest tone through time, a steadfast companion for vows, for anniversaries, or for the simple ritual of wearing a reminder of love. From The Natural Gemstone Company we invite you to imagine a bespoke setting that honors the stone s angular grace, and the whisper of its internal inclusions, we offer detailed images and gentle guidance so that this garnet can be set with reverence, and worn with joy. If you are seeking a gem that marries a romantic story with geological authenticity, this Ceylon red garnet is a small, fierce keepsake, a warmed shard of history that will sit close to the skin and to the heart.
