1.14 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional, one of a kind 1.14 carat oval red garnet from Ceylon, Sri Lanka announces itself with a presence that is both immediate and quietly authoritative, a gemstone destined to become the centerpiece of a rare and considered collection. Precisely measured at 6.58 by 5.14 by 3.95 millimeters, this stone combines an elegantly proportioned oval silhouette with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes brilliance and depth, creating a play of light that reveals vivid red tones with lively flashes of warmth. The clarity grade is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean and pure to the naked eye while retaining the natural character that connoisseurs prize. An excellent polish from facet to girdle ensures a mirror like surface finish that heightens the garnet s inherent fire, and importantly this gem has no enhancements, a true untreated treasure that carries the unaltered signature of its Ceylon origin. At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate pieces like this with meticulous provenance and selective acquisition, offering you access to gems that are not mass produced but carefully chosen for their rarity and enduring beauty.

Owning this garnet means investing in a wearable work of art that will retain its allure for decades and generations. Garnet is admired for both its rich heritage and its practicality for everyday jewelry, and this particular specimen s mixed brilliant faceting was chosen to balance scintillation with color depth, making it ideal for settings that emphasize a timeless aesthetic. Whether set as a solitaire in a classic ring, mounted as a pendant to rest near the heart, or paired as the focal point of an heirloom brooch, the stone s oval proportions and vivid color intensity lend themselves to bespoke design that can be tailored to family tastes and passed down with pride. The fact that the gem is unenhanced preserves its natural story, a narrative you can recount as you hand it to the next generation, telling of Ceylon s storied mines, skilled lapidaries, and the moment it was selected for your collection at The Natural Gemstone Company. We advise settings that protect the girdle and pavilion, and recommend traditional craftsmanship such as bezel or secure prong work to ensure the stone s polish and finish endure with minimal risk.

With proper care the gem will suffer little from the passage of time, and with routine expert cleaning and occasional inspection you can preserve the clarity and polish that make it so captivating today. We recommend that you document the stone s purchase, including details of weight, dimensions, cut, clarity, color intensity, and origin, and consider professional appraisal and registration with family records to cement its place in your lineage.
