1.90 Ct. Garnet from South Africa

This is a singular offering from The Natural Gemstone Company, a beautiful transparent 1.90 carat round shape pink garnet that speaks to rarity and refined taste. Sourced from South Africa, this gem carries a vivid color intensity that immediately commands attention, a hue that lives between sophisticated rose and deep raspberry depending on the light. The stone is unenhanced with no enhancement applied, ensuring that every facet of its color and character is wholly natural. Cut into a mixed brilliant style, it balances the performance of faceted brilliance with the depth of color that is so desirable in fine garnets. Its dimensions are 7.50 x 7.44 x 4.79 mm, a precise and stable size that lends itself to elegant presentation and confident design choices. Evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, the clarity speaks to excellent visual purity while preserving the organic story of a natural gem. The polish is excellent, a finish that allows light to dance from facet to facet, creating scintillation that elevates any setting it inhabits.

The round shape and nearly 7.5 millimeter diameter make this garnet an ideal centerpiece for custom jewelry, a size that reads as substantial on the finger or as a striking focal point in a pendant. For designers this dimension is a dream, providing enough surface area to display the vivid pink color while maintaining classic proportions that suit solitaire, halo, and three stone configurations. The 4.79 millimeter depth gives the stone a generous pavilion that aids in light return, crucial for gemstones where color saturation and internal reflections define their allure. The mixed brilliant cut further enhances this dynamic, marrying brilliant facets on the crown with step like elements below to intensify fire and color flashes. Because the stone is round, setting options multiply, from low classic bezels that emphasize clean silhouettes to raised solitaire prongs that allow light to enter freely, maximizing sparkle. Ring designers will appreciate how the stone sits within standard head sizes, while pendant makers will value its balance between presence and wearability.

For clients seeking a bespoke piece, this garnet offers the rare combination of immediate visual impact and practical design flexibility. Its very slightly included clarity grade means the gem appears clean to the naked eye, yet retains the authentic character that collectors prize. Custom settings can be tailored to emphasize the warm pink tones, with metals like 18 carat rose gold or warm yellow gold amplifying the rich hues, or cool white metals such as platinum or white gold offering a modern contrast that lets the color pop. The size is also perfect for pairing with accent stones, whether a halo of brilliant cut diamonds to increase perceived size and sparkle, a delicate millegrain bezel for vintage inspired work, or asymmetric side stones for a contemporary statement. This stone adapts beautifully to bespoke commissions that celebrate individuality, and because it is natural and untreated, each design built around it becomes a truly personal heirloom, certain to be unique in any jewelry collection.
