1.64 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a gemstone that ends the quest for perfection, whether you are designing an engagement ring that will be worn for a lifetime, or choosing a rare specimen for a curated collection, this 1.64 carat pear shape purplish red garnet answers that need with quiet authority. The Natural Gemstone Company understands that you want more than a pretty stone, you want an authentic treasure that performs from every angle, and this garnet delivers. Its transparent body gives immediate visual assurance of quality, while the intense purplish red color invites admiration and conveys depth. The pear shape is inherently flattering, creating length and a graceful silhouette when set into a ring, a pendant, or a bespoke piece, and the mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize light performance. If your aim is to find a single stone that combines wearable elegance with collector level interest, this garnet is precisely the solution.

Look closely and the craftsmanship becomes evident, the mixed brilliant cut brings scintillation and fire to the surface, each facet meeting with precision, and the excellent polish turns every plane into a mirror that reflects color and life. At dimensions of 7.97 by 6.26 by 4.57 millimeters this gem is substantial without being cumbersome, a size that reads beautifully on the finger and in jewelry photography. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning that at casual viewing the field is clean and uninterrupted, and under magnification the inclusions are minor and natural, adding character without detracting from visual purity. The stone has intense color intensity, a saturation that avoids brownish or muddy tones and instead leans into a vivid, luxurious purplish red that changes slightly with angle, offering richer tones in deeper light and lively flashes in brighter light. This dynamic color is part of what makes the gem so compelling, a stone that seems to respond as you move, as if it knows it belongs to a moment.

Beyond the immediate visual impact, provenance and treatment history matter, and this garnet brings reassuring transparency in those areas as well. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka evokes a storied gem heritage, a place known for producing stones with refined color and stable physical properties, and the unenhanced nature of this garnet ensures that what you see is what nature intended. No enhancement means no heat, no diffusion, no filling, this is a natural gem in its authentic state, a trait increasingly rare and deeply valued by connoisseurs. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind provenance and honesty, and when you choose this garnet you are choosing a piece with clear, documented attributes, ready for incorporation into heirloom quality work. For a customer who values integrity as much as beauty, the combination of origin and no enhancement provides peace of mind and long term satisfaction.

Imagine this pear shape set with a slender platinum prong setting that allows light to enter freely from the pavilion, or imagine it suspended in a classic pendant that lets the stone swing and astonish with every motion, the mixed brilliant facets catching and releasing flashes of purplish red. For an engagement ring the stone shape flatters the finger while the intense color offers individuality without overwhelming the design, and for a collector the transparent body, excellent polish, and very very slightly included clarity lend the piece a quality study potential. The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to consider this garnet as the final step in a search for distinction, a natural beauty ready to become part of a story. If you are ready to move forward we can provide additional high resolution images, coordinate custom settings with trusted craftsmen, and provide documentation of origin and characteristics so that your purchase is secure, elegant, and enduring. This garnet is more than a gemstone, it is a conclusion to a search, a confident yes to the question of what you have been looking for.
