3.38 Ct. Garnet Solitaire Necklace, 14K Yellow Gold

At The Natural Gemstone Company we are proud to present a necklace that centers on a spectacular, transparent 3.38 carat cushion shape red garnet, with dimensions of 8.00 x 9.99 x 4.92 mm, set entirely in 14K yellow gold. This garnet is mixed brilliant cut to maximize light return and sparkle, it is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, it shows vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, and it has been heat treated to bring out its rich, stable tone. Origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this stone has a distinctive, deeply saturated red that sits between the warm, earthy tones of common almandine garnets and the pure, vivid red associated with higher end rubies. The combination of cushion shape and mixed brilliant faceting creates a lively play of facets that dances across the surface, ensuring that the color remains luminous rather than looking flat or overly dark when viewed from different angles.

When compared to other red gemstones, this garnet stands out for a few important reasons, clarity, color, and cut. Many commercially available garnets carry visible inclusions that interrupt light flow and dull their overall presence, but this piece is very slightly included when examined at eye level, which means it reads as exceptionally clean to the wearer, allowing light to pass unhindered and intensify its hue. In terms of color, its vivid intensity delivers a deep, inviting red that avoids common pitfalls of being too brown or too purplish, offering instead a pure, classic red that rivals the appeal of more expensive rubies and spinels, while remaining a thoughtful, accessible choice. The excellent polish and mixed brilliant cut further separate this necklace from more typical cabochon or step cut garnet pieces, producing scintillation and brilliance that you expect from well cut gemstones. The heat treatment applied is a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and enriches the color without compromising durability, making this garnet an ideal daily wear center stone. For those seeking a striking, singular red gem that balances clarity, color, and craftsmanship, this necklace from The Natural Gemstone Company is an elegant, memorable choice.
