0.98 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Tsavorite Garnet Pair from Tanzania

This matched pair of natural princess shape tsavorite garnets from Tanzania presents an exceptional combination of color, clarity, and craftsmanship, ideal for the discerning buyer who values both gemological quality and provenance. Individually they weigh 0.47 carats and 0.51 carats, with measurements of 4.51 x 4.47 x 2.74 millimeters and 4.51 x 4.45 x 2.94 millimeters respectively, for a combined total weight of 0.98 carats. Both stones are transparent, princess cut, and exhibit intense green color intensity with an excellent polish that maximizes light return and surface brilliance. The clarity has been evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, meaning the stones appear clean to the unaided eye and retain strong visual appeal in daily wear. Importantly these tsavorites are untreated, with no enhancement reported, and their documented origin is Tanzania, a source known for producing some of the most vibrant green grossular garnets available on the market. The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to present these stones as a matched pair, with dimensions and proportions closely aligned to ensure symmetry in finished jewelry.

From a technical perspective these tsavorites offer attributes that make them both beautiful and resilient enough for heirloom pieces. Tsavorite is a green variety of grossular garnet that owes its vivid hue to trace chromium and vanadium, producing a green that is more saturated and lively than most green garnets and in many cases comparable in presence to fine emeralds while retaining superior durability. These stones have a Mohs hardness of approximately seven to seven and a half, providing a balance of toughness and polish retention that suits frequent wear in rings, earrings, and pendants. The princess cut chosen for this pair is particularly effective for square outlines, as it creates crisp lines, strong scintillation, and a modern geometric aesthetic that remains timeless. The excellent polish and careful faceting seen in these stones ensure consistent light return and minimal windowing, while the very very slight inclusions identified at eye level are typical of natural garnets and do not compromise the stones appearance or structural integrity. Their closely matched dimensions and color tone make them especially attractive for settings where symmetry is essential.

These tsavorite garnets are ideal candidates for a unique heirloom design that will be cherished across generations. As a matched pair they are naturally suited to classic stud earrings, where the square princess outline can be showcased in simple four prong settings or modern bezel mounts in platinum or eighteen karat white gold to emphasize contrast and brilliance, or in eighteen karat yellow or rose gold to warm the presentation and create a distinct heirloom character. For a ring, the pair can be set as side stones flanking a center diamond or colored gem, or they can be set as a slightly offset double shoulder design that reads as a contemporary interpretation of a traditional three stone composition. A pendant with the pair arranged vertically or in a mirror image configuration will create elegant movement and a personal motif that can be engraved or paired with an inscription to mark an occasion. Consider incorporating a halo of small diamonds or tapered baguettes to articulate the clean geometry of the princess cut, or to add contrast and additional fire without overwhelming the tsavorite green. Because these stones are untreated and of Tanzanian origin, they carry provenance and rarity that educated collectors recognize as value enhancing, and their natural clarity and polish will age with grace when set in quality metals and maintained properly.

For buyers who appreciate documented origin, natural color, and fine cutting, this pair represents a refined opportunity to commission a bespoke piece that will be both wearable and enduring. The Natural Gemstone Company can assist with design consultation, complementary gemological reporting, and recommended setting styles that will protect the stones and showcase their intense green and precision cut. When creating an heirloom, consider factors such as protective settings for daily wear, the metal color that best complements the green tone, and the potential for future resizing or resetting so that the piece can be adapted by future generations. These tsavorite garnets combine natural, untreated color, excellent polish, very very slight eye level inclusions, and a close quality match, resulting in a rare paired set that will perform beautifully in a thoughtful, well executed design.
