1.08 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

This transparent 1.08 carat cushion shape green tsavorite garnet measures 6.84 x 4.42 x 3.85 mm, and features a mixed brilliant cut that balances lively scintillation with strong color saturation. The gem displays an intense green color intensity, and its excellent polish contributes to crisp facet definition and an attractive surface luster. Clarity is graded as slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which yields a clean visual appearance while affirming the natural character of the stone. This tsavorite is free of any enhancements, originating from Tanzania, and its transparency and saturated hue make it a notable example of this rare garnet variety.

Presented as an engagement option, this tsavorite garnet offers a distinctive alternative to traditional center stones, combining vivid color with practical durability. With an expected hardness around 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, the gem is suitable for daily wear when set in an appropriate mounting, and settings such as bezel, halo, or protective prong designs can help preserve the stone over time. The cushion outline and mixed brilliant pavilion produce controlled brilliance and depth, allowing the intense green to remain the focal point in both classic and contemporary ring designs. At The Natural Gemstone Company we highlight the gemological integrity of this piece, noting its unenhanced origin and excellent cut and polish, and we can provide guidance on settings that emphasize the stone while meeting functional needs. This tsavorite is well suited for someone seeking a meaningful engagement gem that is both visually striking and rooted in natural provenance.
