1.27 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing a stunning example of nature's artistry from The Natural Gemstone Company, we present to you an exquisite transparent 1.27 carat garnet, masterfully shaped into an emerald cut. Showcasing a captivating purplish-red hue, this garnet measures 6.19 by 5.14 mm with a depth of 4.45 mm, making it a perfectly proportioned centerpiece for any custom jewelry creation. This verdant gem hails from the renowned mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance celebrated for producing garnets with unrivaled color and clarity characteristics.

The emerald cut employed in this gemstone is renowned for its elegance and sophistication, offering a captivating stage for the purplish-red tones to dance. This faceting style highlights the garnet's natural beauty, with stepped facets that provide ample play with light, delivering a distinctive optical appearance not commonly found in more traditionally faceted stones. It comes with a clarity grade of 'slightly included', a hidden character which speaks to its natural origin as its inclusions are subtle and generally unnoticed to the casual admirer. Combined with its vivid color intensity and excellent polish, this garnet achieves a balance between dazzling visual appeal and timeless sophistication.

When paired with complementary stones in a custom jewelry piece, this garnet’s potential truly elevates. Imagine it nestled among a halo of diamonds or polished white sapphires, enhancing its rich purplish-red hue. The juxtaposition between the vibrant garnet and the bright, clear stones creates a stunning visual contrast that elevates the overall composition into something utterly breathtaking. Alternatively, for those seeking a bespoke piece with a unique flair, setting this garnet alongside cooler colored gemstones such as pink spinels or icy blue topaz can both highlight and complement its warmth. The effect not only enhances this gemstone’s inherent beauty but also allows the crafting of a piece that is as individual and outstanding as the person who wears it.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, our commitment to offering gemstones of extraordinary quality is matched by our desire to elevate the art of jewelry making to a transcendent two-way street of inspiration and creative exploration. This garnet embodies that philosophy, with an innate ability to be the star of a bespoke creation or part of a harmonious ensemble of precious stones. Designing with such gemstones is not just about selecting a centerpiece, but rather engaging in an opportunity to create something surprisingly unique, where every facet is a dialogue between light and color, crafting a timeless jewel that narrates a story of natural elegance.
