2.78 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The 2.78 carat oval shape color change garnet from The Natural Gemstone Company is a masterpiece of nature expertly refined by human hands. With its GIA certification, this captivating gemstone assures quality and authenticity. The garnet exhibits a divine transparency that elevates its overall aesthetic, allowing a deeper appreciation of its intrinsic beauty. Its dimensions of 9.09 x 7.33 x 5.46 mm present a perfectly proportioned stage that commands attention while complementing various settings in jewelry design. As a testament to our dedication to craftsmanship and precision, the mixed brilliant cut is meticulously executed to unlock the garnet's potential to reflect light.

The mixed brilliant cut enhances the inherent properties of the garnet, maximizing its ability to refract and reflect light through precise angles and facets. This cutting technique integrates step cuts on the pavilion with brilliant facets on the crown, a combination that optimizes a gemstone's sparkle by allowing more light to interact with the stone's interior. While typical brilliant cuts focus primarily on producing an intense sparkle, the use of a mixed brilliant cut accommodates a wide oval shape, which aids in reflecting exceptional brilliance and dispersing colorful flashes with each change of light angle. This strategic cutting emphasizes every hue presented by the garnet's notable color-change phenomenon.

The color change feature of this garnet, a rare quality that sets it apart from traditional gemstones, adds another dimension to its allure. Under different lighting conditions, this gemstone shifts between a luscious red and enchanting green, providing a dynamic visual experience. The intensity of these colors is enriched by the gem's clarity grade, which, despite being slightly included when evaluated at eye level, allows light to penetrate and interact optimally within the stone. This intensity ensures that each change in hue is vivid, further emphasizing the uniqueness of this jewel's origin from Ceylon—a region revered for producing gemstones of remarkable color and clarity.

A critical aspect of this garnet is its excellent polish, a detail that plays a significant role in reflecting light from its surface. The smooth finish achieved through skillful polishing processes at The Natural Gemstone Company reduces light diffusion, directing more light through the facets and ensuring a seamless surface upon which light dances gracefully. This high-quality polish not only enhances light refraction but also adds a luxurious sheen to the gemstone, elevating its overall visual appeal. This attention to polish manifests an interplay of fire and brilliance rarely seen in color-change gemstones.

For knowledgeable buyers seeking a distinct and sophisticated gemstone, this garnet embodies an unrivaled blend of nature's artistry and human expertise. The craftsmanship further enriches a storied journey beginning from Ceylon's mines to the cutting experts who refine each facet to perfection. The Natural Gemstone Company prides itself on bringing gemstones of such exceptional beauty to collectors and connoisseurs, highlighting the fascinating process of elevating natural wonders to an extraordinary level of sophistication.
