This matched pair consists of two transparent tsavorite garnets, weighing 0.18 carats and 0.19 carats respectively, each fashioned into a round outline with precise mixed brilliant faceting, the first measuring 3.60 by 3.61 by 2.21 millimeters, the second measuring 3.56 by 3.53 by 2.39 millimeters, the mixed brilliant execution pairs a full brilliant crown with a modified pavilion geometry to balance return of brilliance and color saturation, the crown exhibits well proportioned main facets converging to a true round table, the pavilion angles have been adjusted to the material s refractive index to maximize return and minimize leakage for these small sizes, the stones show excellent polish across facet junctions and consistently finished girdles, the slight variation in boring dimensions produces measured overall depths of approximately 61.3 percent for the 3.60 by 3.61 by 2.21 millimeter stone, and 67.4 percent for the 3.56 by 3.53 by 2.39 millimeter stone, these proportional differences are intentional to optimize face up appearance and to compensate for natural variation in rough material, resulting in a visually harmonious pair when set.
Color evaluation is a primary characteristic for tsavorite demand, these two gems exhibit intense green color intensity with vivid saturation and a balanced medium to medium deep tone that is characteristic of high quality Tanzanian tsavorite, the hue tends toward a pure green with minimal yellow or blue modifiers, under standard daylight corrected viewing conditions the stones deliver strong absorption across the green portion of the spectrum which enhances apparent saturation at small table sizes, the uniformity of color across both stones is exceptional for this weight class, the face up color match is rare because small tsavorites frequently show color variation due to zoning or cutting adjustments, these pieces are unenhanced, no treatments or diffusion have been applied, the absence of enhancement preserves natural pleochroic response and ensures long term stability.
Clarity assessment has been performed at eye level, both stones are graded as slightly included, the inclusions are minor and do not interfere with the overall light return or visual performance, at this magnification the features appear as localized pinpoint crystals or very small feathering that are measurable but not obstructive, because tsavorite is a hard and durable garnet species with a Mohs hardness similar to corundum, these inclusions do not compromise structural integrity, the slightly included grade in combination with intense color and excellent polish produces lively scintillation and strong fire for stones under four millimeter diameter, the mixed brilliant faceting increases sparkle while maintaining color depth, the cutter s decision to vary pavilion depths slightly between the two stones achieves a superior face up match, a feature that underscores both technical skill and selective sourcing.
Pairs of natural, unenhanced tsavorite garnets that match closely in color, cut, and finish at this size are uncommon in the market, perfect matches are rare because of the need to align hue, saturation, and internal characteristics across two separate rough pieces, this pair originates from Tanzania, a locality known for producing clean, vividly colored tsavorite, The Natural Gemstone Company sources material with provenance and documents absence of heat or clarity enhancement whenever possible, these stones are ideally suited for fine pair settings such as delicate stud earrings, halo settings where intense color is preserved, or companion accents in bespoke jewelry where symmetry of color is critical, when mounted the mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish will project stable, intense green color and lively return of light, The Natural Gemstone Company can provide additional facet images and proportion details upon request, this pair represents a technically refined option for connoisseurs seeking authentic, unenhanced tsavorite with a high degree of face up matching.
