3.16 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a gemstone that will immediately answer the desire for a show stopping center stone, this red garnet offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is designed to end that search. This is a beautiful transparent 3.16 carat garnet cut in a classic emerald shape, with precise dimensions of 9.77 x 6.32 x 5.01 mm, and an excellent polish that brings each facet to life. The clarity is graded very slightly included when viewed at eye level, which means you benefit from natural transparency and a lively internal character without visible distractions. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and presented with no enhancement, this garnet delivers an honest and vibrant color intensity that collectors and bridal customers seek. If you need a stone that combines weight, presence, and impeccable natural color, this gem is a direct match for your needs.

The vivid red color of this garnet is the defining feature that will make it stand out in any jewelry setting, and the emerald cut works in perfect partnership with that color. The elongated step facets of the emerald cut create broad color windows and controlled flashes of light, which emphasize the stone's saturated red tones and allow the hue to read richly from every angle. Because the polish is excellent, light travels smoothly across the surfaces and returns as deep, even color rather than scattered brilliance, making this piece ideal for designs where color depth is the priority. In a white gold or platinum mounting the garnet will register as a vivid focal point that commands attention, while in a warm yellow gold setting the red will glow with romantic warmth and an almost vintage sensibility. The dimensions and weight make it versatile enough to be the star of a statement ring, a dramatic pendant, or a bespoke collector piece. Its transparency and very slightly included clarity add life and character, so the gem reads as natural and lively rather than sterile.

Choosing this garnet from The Natural Gemstone Company means you are selecting a stone with provenance, natural color, and the cut and polish to make that color sing. For someone planning an engagement ring who wants a richly colored alternative to traditional choices, this gem provides the perfect balance of presence and elegance. For a collector seeking a rare Ceylon origin garnet that has not been treated, this piece answers that brief with confidence. We recommend viewing the stone in both daylight and warm indoor light to appreciate how its vivid color adapts and remains compelling, and our team is ready to advise on settings that will accentuate either the stone’s fire or its depth of tone. When your priority is a gem that will stop conversations and anchor a design with refined color, this 3.16 carat emerald cut red garnet is the solution you have been looking for.
