In the cutting studio this transparent 0.18 carat round shape green tsavorite garnet was entrusted to skilled faceters, the chosen mixed brilliant cut was selected to balance fire and color, the crown facets were designed to showcase the intense color intensity, while the pavilion facets were calibrated to return light for lively scintillation, the polishing stage achieved an excellent polish that emphasizes the gem surface smoothness and optical performance, the clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which in practice means that the inclusions do not interrupt the visual impact when set in jewelry, importantly this stone has no enhancement, this is a natural, untreated tsavorite garnet, which makes it superior in authenticity compared to many green stones on the market that are often treated or lab created, compared to emeralds that commonly require oiling or filling, and compared to lower grade green gems that rely on enhancement for color, this tsavorite offers pure, untreated intensity.
