2.41 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the first glance this exquisite red garnet arrests the eye and stirs the heart, a vivid flame of color captured within a precisely faceted asscher octagon. At 2.41 carat and measuring 7.42 x 6.87 x 5.13 mm, this stone has a presence that is both elegant and commanding, perfect for someone who wants a piece that will be noticed and treasured. The asscher cut, with its stepped facets and dramatic hall of mirrors effect, turns every movement into a small performance of light and depth, letting that vivid red color breathe and glow from within. Transparent and finely polished to an excellent finish, this garnet shows only very slight inclusions when viewed at eye level, a testament to its natural clarity and the care taken in cutting. With no enhancements and an origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka, this gem carries a story of natural beauty and honest value, a pure expression of color and form that will age with grace and meaning.

Imagine this garnet set into a piece of jewelry that reflects who you are and how you love to live. In a simple solitaire setting the deep red will command attention, each step facet catching light and sending back a warm, romantic glow. In a halo or three stone composition the central asscher will anchor the design, its octagon geometry lending a vintage modernity that complements both contemporary and classic styles. Against warm yellow gold the red will sing like a sunset, against cool white gold or platinum the color will read crisp and intense, and with rose gold the tone becomes soft and intimate. The dimensions 7.42 x 6.87 x 5.13 mm give the stone a balanced table and depth, so that it sits beautifully on a finger or at the center of a pendant, offering a confident presence without overwhelming the wearer. For an engagement ring, for a meaningful anniversary gift, or for a statement cocktail piece, this garnet becomes a memory maker, a jewel that will be reached for time after time, that will catch light and compliments alike and that will mark moments of joy.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we are devoted to sourcing and presenting gemstones that resonate emotionally and endure technically, and this asscher octagon red garnet is a perfect example of that commitment. Its vivid color intensity and excellent polish make it a showstopper, while the natural, untreated origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka gives it authenticity that matters to collectors and romantics alike. Our gem specialists evaluated its clarity as very slightly included at eye level, a realistic and honest assessment that highlights the stone as a natural treasure rather than a lab altered replica. If you are imagining a bespoke ring or a pendant that tells a story, we would love to assist in choosing the setting that will allow this garnet to sing most clearly. Reach out to explore mounting options, metal pairings, and design ideas, or to request additional detailed photography or viewing arrangements.
