14.95 Ct. Spessartite Garnet from Namibia

This offering from The Natural Gemstone Company is a transparent 14.95 carat spessartite garnet, fashioned in a trillion cut and presented in an orangish red hue, originating from Namibia. The stone measures 19.90 x 13.50 x 8.20 mm, and displays a dark color intensity with excellent polish. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, which yields an eye-clean appearance under normal viewing and allows the gem to display its depth of color and internal fire without distraction. The piece has received heat treatment to enhance color uniformity, a commonly accepted and stable enhancement for spessartite garnets, and the overall cutting proportions emphasize a broad table and well-shaped pavilion that preserve weight while optimizing light return.

The combination of substantial carat weight, generous dimensions, and the distinctive trillion shape makes this specimen particularly well suited for custom jewelry design. At nearly 20 mm across the widest point and just over 8 mm in depth, the gem balances presence and wearability, making it a strong choice for a primary center stone in a cocktail ring, a bold solitaire pendant, or a statement brooch. The triangular outline offers clean geometric lines that integrate smoothly with modern bezel settings, three-prong cathedral mounts, or bespoke halo designs that follow the trigonal silhouette, and the excellent polish contributes to predictable faceting behavior during mounting. The orangish red tonal range pairs effectively with warm metals such as yellow or rose gold for color enhancement, while white metals like platinum or white gold will emphasize contrast and depth. Given the eye-clean clarity grade and the heat treatment disclosure, designers can plan settings that highlight the stone face up without extensive masking, and the durable garnet matrix supports secure bezel or prong construction for everyday wear. For custom commissions or detailed setting recommendations, The Natural Gemstone Company can provide additional imagery and measurements to assist jewelers in creating a finished piece that respects the stone’s proportions and visual character.
