11.14 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones, and then there is rarity that announces itself without apology. This exceptional red garnet, offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company, is one of those rare stones that demands attention and discretion in equal measure. We present a single, transparent 11.14 carat cushion shaped garnet, a gem with the generous dimensions of 14.51 by 11.29 by 7.69 millimeters, cut in a sophisticated mixed brilliant style to marry scintillation with depth. Its hue is intense and unapologetically vivid, a deep red that shifts and breathes with every change of light, and its clarity grade is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, a distinction that elevates its desirability among connoisseurs. This garnet originates from storied Ceylon in Sri Lanka, a source that has yielded some of the world’s most celebrated gems, and it arrives with no enhancement, a natural expression of color and character, and an excellent polish that allows surfaces to read as near mirror like, enhancing both brightness and saturation.

Beyond its exceptional pedigree, this garnet is a study in versatility, equally at home in an elevated everyday ensemble as it is under the lights of a formal evening. The cushion profile delivers classic elegance for a ring setting that sits comfortably for daily wear, while the mixed brilliant cut ensures an engaging play of light that reads confidently in pendants and bespoke cufflinks alike. Imagine it set as the centerpiece of a modern solitaire ring, where its 11.14 carat presence balances boldness with tasteful restraint, or appointed in a handcrafted pendant and suspended from a delicate chain to catch attention with refined understatement. For formal occasions it commands respect when flanked by tapered diamonds or paired with warm metals like 18 karat rose gold, and for casual moments it conveys cultivated taste when mounted in a minimalist bezel that allows its intense color to speak for itself. Designers and private clients admire this garnet for its adaptability, because it responds beautifully to both contemporary silhouettes and heritage inspired settings, a rare trait that makes it a living accessory for a discerning wardrobe.

Owning this garnet is to join a select circle of patrons who value provenance, natural beauty, and meticulous craftsmanship. At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate such stones with a collector mindset, offering bespoke services to realize the ideal setting for each gem, paired with detailed documentation that reflects its unenhanced origin in Ceylon, its eye clean clarity, its excellent polish, and its intense color intensity. For the client who seeks a statement that also endures, this garnet speaks to legacy, pairing well with careful maintenance and occasional professional cleaning to preserve its polish and fire. We recommend secure, custom mountings that protect the girdle and pavilion, and we are pleased to advise on metal choices, complementary accent stones, and design sketches to ensure the final piece is both wearable and heirloom worthy. Availability is intentionally limited, as we handle singular gems of this caliber with discretion and care, and we invite you to contact The Natural Gemstone Company for a private viewing, a personalized consultation, or to commission a bespoke design, because stones of this exceptional, natural, and unenhanced quality are not simply purchased, they are chosen by those who appreciate true rarity.
