When you are searching for a gemstone that answers both the heart and the mind, this 1.49 carat cushion shape pinkish purple garnet stands as a clear and confident solution. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that collectors and discerning clients want beauty, rarity, and integrity in equal measure. This garnet delivers all three, glowing with an intense, memorable color that elevates any collection. If your need is for a show stopping center stone for a bespoke engagement ring, a singular piece to anchor a high end pendant, or a rare specimen that speaks to refined taste, this gem resolves that search with immediate presence. The cushion outline and mixed brilliant cut combine classical elegance with modern sparkle, delivering optical performance that reads as luxurious in every light.

Detailed gem information matters when you are making an investment in quality, and the specifications of this garnet ensure confidence. The stone weighs 1.49 carats, and measures 6.79 by 6.55 by 4.15 millimeters, dimensions that translate into a pleasing face up size while retaining proportional depth for strong light return. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize scintillation and fire, and the polish has been graded excellent, so each facet edge presents a crisp mirrored surface. Clarity is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which means that the stone offers uninterrupted visual appeal without inclusions that detract from its show. The color reads as a sophisticated pinkish purple, with intense color intensity that makes it rare among garnets, and important for collectors who value vivid saturation. This garnet is untreated, showing no enhancement, and carries the provenance of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing gemstones with fine color and desirable crystal habits. Together these factors make this stone a true natural example of what serious collectors seek.

For customers who envision this garnet as a focal point in jewelry, imagine a classic solitaire that allows the cushion form to dominate, or a halo composition that contrasts tiny white diamonds against the deep pinkish purple body color to increase perceived size and drama. For a modern approach, a low profile bezel in warm rose gold emphasizes the warmer tones in the stone, while a cool white gold or platinum setting sharpens the purple facets and creates a contemporary aesthetic. The gem is well suited to ring use and experienced setters can design prong work that protects the corners of the cushion shape while allowing light to circulate for maximum brilliance. The combination of its near one and a half carat weight, excellent polish, and eye clean clarity makes it equally appealing as a collector piece mounted in a display setting, accompanied by provenance documentation from The Natural Gemstone Company. For those planning an heirloom piece, consider custom engraving or a paired gemstone companion to create a matched suite, knowing that this garnet can adapt to both traditional and avant garde designs.

Choosing a gemstone is an intimate process that blends personal taste with confidence in source and quality, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to support that decision. This pinkish purple garnet from Ceylon Sri Lanka offers a rare visual signature combined with the practical attributes collectors and wearable jewelry buyers require.
