1.94 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Beyond the verdant landscapes of Sri Lanka, where the sun weaves through lush canopies and the earth holds secrets millions of years in the making, lies the precious story of a remarkable gemstone. In the enchanting terrain of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, our journey unfolds. Here, deep in the soil, a gemstone is born after epochs of geological artistry and natural alchemy. This pink garnet, a 1.94 carat marvel, began its life beneath the earth's surface. Over millennia, pressure and time sculpted its crystalline structure until it embodied a beauty waiting to be discovered.

Unearthed with great care by seasoned hands and discerning eyes, this garnet was gently ushered into the world. The skilled miners of Sri Lanka, who have honed their craft through generations, meticulously extracted the gem. Once freed from the earth's embrace, the garnet began its transformation guided by the touch of expert lapidaries. This stone, cherished for its evocative pink hues and translucent charm, underwent a process that balanced tradition with precision. A mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize its radiance, accentuating the stone's lush and vivid tones, while preserving its structural essence.

Each facet of the garnet reveals another layer of its story, an intense color intensity honed to perfection with an excellent polish that mirrors a history as vibrant as the stone itself. The connection between the craftsman and the gemstone echoes through each impression of the lathe, each careful turn that shaped this piece of nature's magnificence. Its 8.46 x 6.37 x 4.01 mm dimensions in an oval form were designed for versatility, capturing elegance and allowing the play of light through its core, a feature that speaks to the delicate balance of form and function.
