1.26 Ct. Rhodolite Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The 1.26 carat cushion-shaped purplish red rhodolite garnet we present is a gemologist's dream, crafted to a high standard of precision and artistry. With dimensions of 6.22 x 6.17 x 4.00 mm, this gemstone is a testament to the ideal proportions skilfully achieved through the mixed brilliant cut. The mixed brilliant cut is famed for its combination of step-cutting techniques on the pavilion and brilliant-round facets on the crown, enhancing the stone’s ability to reflect light and display its vibrant color to an astonishing depth. The purplish red hue of the garnet underscores a harmony between the mesmerizing intensity and the rarity of color, offering a visual experience that is both intense and alluring.

The eye-clean clarity grade amplifies the stone's value as it signifies flawless composition to the naked eye. Such clarity is fundamental for knowledgeable buyers who refuse to compromise on the brilliance and shimmer achievable only in such high clarity grades. The excellent polish of the gemstone serves to further accentuate each facet’s sparkle, allowing the intense purplish red color to refract with unmatched radiance. Mined from the renowned gemological treasure troves of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this rhodolite garnet carries with it a lineage of rich gemstone history and prestige. Gems originating from Ceylon are particularly valued due to their centuries-old tradition of pristine mining and the extraordinary quality of the stones extractable from this region.
