At 1.60 carats this stone occupies a precious niche where size becomes statement and value becomes visible, a weight that sings of careful selection and discerning taste, a weight that translates directly into presence when set against skin and metal. Its proportions, meticulously cut to reveal the gem at 7.01 x 7.00 x 4.42 mm, are a masterclass in balance, delivering a face up area that maximizes visual impact while retaining a silhouette of classic refinement. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies the gem light, marrying the scintillation of table facets with the depth of pavilion facets, and the intense color intensity ensures that every facet captures and returns an arresting pink glow, a hue both sophisticated and sensuous. Originating from South Africa, this garnet carries the provenance of a storied landscape, a source known for producing stones of notable depth and character, and it arrives to you with no enhancement, pure and unaltered in its natural beauty.

Clarity becomes a quiet luxury, a signal to those who know, and this gem is graded very very slightly included at eye level, an evaluation that speaks to exceptional transparency and minimal internal character. When appraised by the eye the inclusions are so discreet that the gem reads as pristine, and under loupe inspection the minor inclusions serve only as proof of its natural genesis, never as impediment to brilliance. The polish is excellent, a finish that ensures uninterrupted light return across each facet and a tactile smoothness that speaks to the highest standards of lapidary craft. Together the clarity, polish, and the 1.60 carat weight announce premium quality, they position this garnet above common examples and into the realm of collectible gemstones that satisfy both the aesthetic and the connoisseurial appetite. In practical terms the 1.60 carat metric transforms the gem into a centerpiece, suited to a solitaire ring, a refined pendant, or a custom pair of earrings where the weight affirms investment and presence, and where the mixed brilliant cut will delight with flashes of fire and consistent brilliance as it catches the light.
