1.19 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from East Africa

A rare opportunity awaits the collector who understands true gemstone distinction, a single transparent green tsavorite garnet weighing 1.19 carat, measured at 6.45 x 5.81 x 3.95 mm, presented in a graceful oval shape with a mixed brilliant cut. This gem is graded as very, very slightly included at eye level, which in practical terms means an almost flawless visual experience, and it carries an intense color intensity that is both vivid and sophisticated. The polish is excellent, the surface clean and reflective, and the piece is entirely natural with no enhancement, sourced from the storied deposits of East Africa. At The Natural Gemstone Company we reserve such stones for clients who demand provenance, craftsmanship, and scarcity, and this tsavorite is emblematic of that promise, a specimen that sits at the intersection of nature, rarity, and refined taste.

Viewed face up the gem radiates a crystalline green that is saturated yet alive, a hue that draws the eye in and reveals depth as the stone is tilted. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize scintillation and to balance the oval outline with internal fire, so under light the tsavorite alternates between broad flashes of pure green and lively pinpricks of brilliance. Because the clarity is exceptionally high, the light path through the pavilion remains uninterrupted, producing a transparency that is jewel like and almost water clear. Set as a solitaire, whether on a slender band or in a low profile pendant, the stone centers attention with assured elegance, a discreet but unmistakable statement piece for a customer who appreciates quiet luxury.

When crafting a custom piece around this tsavorite, consider complementary gemstones that will amplify its unique color and refine its presence. A halo of small, high quality white diamonds will heighten the perceived size and add an icy contrast that makes the green sing, while rose gold metal will warm the overall palette and create a vintage inspired femininity. For a more modern, graphic look, pairing the tsavorite with deep blue sapphires will create a jewel tone harmony, each stone accentuating the other without competition. If the goal is drama and rarity, consider tiny accent stones of paraiba tourmaline or green demantoid garnet, each from select origins, placed asymmetrically for a contemporary bespoke design. Three stone rings that flank the tsavorite with tapered diamonds or baguette sapphires will add architectural balance, while small pavé shoulders give the illusion of continuity across the finger.

Design decisions can also play with scale and setting to reinforce exclusivity. A bezel setting will protect the delicate girdle and present a clean modern silhouette, often preferred by clients who lead active lives and wish to wear their treasures daily. A four prong open basket will maximize light interaction and allow the mixed brilliant facets to breathe, preferred by connoisseurs who want maximum sparkle. For earrings or a pendant, pairing this 1.19 carat tsavorite with a slightly smaller matching tsavorite on the opposite side, or mirroring it with a cluster of tiny diamonds, will create balance and refinement. Consider bespoke touches that are signature to your collection, such as a hidden engraving on the mount, a factory supplied origin certificate from East Africa, or a small personal stone set within the gallery to make the piece truly one of a kind.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate each commission with the intent to create heirloom quality pieces that carry story and substance. This tsavorite, unenhanced and from East Africa, is not a gemstone one finds regularly, and it merits a thoughtful approach to design and setting. Our in house gemologists will provide full documentation, photography under standardized lighting, and personalized consultations with our artisans so that every facet of the final jewel speaks to your individuality. For the collector who seeks to own something beyond trend and beyond mass production, this green tsavorite offers a rare channel into an elite circle of bespoke owners who value natural beauty, transparent sourcing, and meticulous finish.
