Imagine the journey this garnet made from the soil to your hands. Raised in the storied gem lands of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this garnet began in river gravels and gem gravels tended by experienced local miners who read the land with generations of knowledge. Each parcel is hand sorted, and this stone was selected for its transparency and that immediately appealing red saturation. It traveled next to an artisan cutting studio where the decision to give it a cushion shape with a mixed brilliant cut was made to maximize its internal light dance and preserve carat weight while honing proportions to 7.24 by 5.22 by 3.70 mm. Skilled cutters worked the pavilion facets and crown planes to coax out a balanced brilliance and to retain the garnet tone that so often defines Ceylon material. Polishing was completed with care to an excellent polish grade, leaving mirror like facet junctions and a surface that resists wear. No heat treatments or other enhancements were applied, leaving the stone in its natural state and ensuring the color and clarity you see are entirely genuine.

Once it passed gemological inspection, with its very slightly included evaluated at eye level clarity and documented measurements, this garnet was chosen for The Natural Gemstone Company collection because it perfectly fills the gap between everyday wearable luxury and museum worthy quality. For an engagement ring imagine it set in a low profile bezel to protect the corners of the cushion shape, or in a halo of fine diamonds to elevate its intensity while keeping the center stone warm and rich. For a collector, a simple four prong or gents signet style mounting will display the color uniformly and allow light to penetrate the mixed brilliant facets. Its 1.24 carat weight sits in a sweet spot that offers presence without overwhelming smaller hands, and its dimensions make it versatile for both classic and contemporary settings. We can provide bespoke recommendations on metal choices, with warm 18 karat yellow gold and rose gold enhancing the garnet warmth, while subtle 18 karat white gold or platinum lends a modern contrast that pulls the color to an almost velvety depth.
