1.54 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This one of a kind transparent purplish pink garnet from Ceylon Sri Lanka weighs 1.54 carat, and measures 6.78 by 6.12 by 4.27 mm, making it an ideal size for a striking center stone. The cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut deliver lively scintillation that outshines many standard garnet cuts, and the vivid color intensity gives a saturation and depth that often requires treatment in other gems, but this stone is natural and untreated. Clarity is graded very very slightly included at eye level, so it presents clean and open facets to the viewer, and the excellent polish enhances surface brightness and light return. Compared with other market options that may be heat treated, fracture filled, or cut with less precision, this gem stands out for its natural color purity, meticulous finish, and balanced proportions that suit both classic and contemporary settings.

For customization this garnet is remarkably versatile, and it adapts beautifully to a wide range of design directions. As a solitaire in a four or six prong setting it will maximize fire and allow the cushion silhouette to command attention. Set within a diamond halo it will gain visual size and contrast, while side baguettes or tapered diamonds will emphasize its rich tone for a timeless three stone composition. A bezel will protect the girdle and make an elegant everyday ring, while an east west mounting will give a modern, fashion forward look. For pendants and earrings the gem is perfect for a halo drop or matched with smaller accent stones to create balanced weight and movement. Metals like rose gold or warm yellow gold will enhance the pinkish tones, while white gold or platinum will create a more contemporary contrast. Because the gem is a clean, well cut piece from The Natural Gemstone Company, designers can confidently set it into bespoke pieces, commission matching side stones, or design unique custom mounts knowing the stone will perform well under faceting and setting.
