2.01 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

There are gemstones that carry the weight of centuries, and there are gemstones that announce a newer chapter in the long story of colored stones. This green tsavorite garnet marries both ideas, offering a modern rarity that wears the timeless virtues of classical gemstones with ease. Carved into a refined emerald cut, this gem recalls the same geometry that has framed royal gems for generations, a geometry prized for its architectural lines, open planes, and ability to convey depth of color with dignified restraint. The emerald cut speaks to an appreciation for restraint and permanence, a design language that reads as vintage and enduring, and yet remains perfectly at home in contemporary settings. Collectors who cherish lineage and legacy will understand why a gem like this becomes more than jewelry, it becomes an heirloom in the making, a center of stories that may be passed forward.

This particular tsavorite garnet measures 2.01 carat, and its dimensions are 8.93 by 4.92 by 4.36 mm, a size and proportion that balance presence with wearability. The stone is transparent, with a clarity grade recorded as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a clarity that preserves a lively internal window, while maintaining the natural character prized by collectors. Color intensity is intense, a vivid, saturated green that reads as verdant and luminous rather than dark or muddy, and the polish is excellent, enabling the facets to play together and release a vibrant, clean brilliance. The gem has not been enhanced, a detail that affirms its natural origin and integrity, and it hails from Tanzania, a source known for producing tsavorites with strong, pure green tones and excellent crystalline clarity. These attributes together create a gem that is both responsibly natural and aesthetically commanding.

Because of its emerald cut and measured proportions, this tsavorite is particularly well suited for custom jewelry projects that seek a balance of geometric elegance and vivid color. The elongated rectangular outline and step faceting make the gem ideal as a solitaire center for an engagement ring, where its clarity and depth of green will read clearly from both near and far. Its 8.93 by 4.92 mm footprint allows for comfortable, classic band profiles, and the stone will sit beautifully in four prong or bezel settings, creating a refined silhouette that complements both slender and substantial ring shanks. For those imagining a pendant, the emerald shape lends itself to vertical or east west orientations, offering versatility in design while maintaining a timeless character. The modest depth of 4.36 mm helps in achieving a balanced bezel or low profile mount for everyday wear, making this gem a practical choice for rings and pendants that will be loved and worn frequently.

Designers and customers who appreciate vintage cues will find this tsavorite a natural partner for Art Deco inspired motifs, channel set accents, and milgrain detailings, because the stone shares the clean linearity and architectural precision that define those styles. Alternatively, modern minimalists may prefer a single four prong solitaire in white metal to allow the intense green to take center stage, or a warm gold setting to enhance the rich green with a classical contrast. Surrounding the tsavorite with white diamonds will accentuate its color and add a bridal quality, while a halo of smaller colored stones can produce an antique salon look. The stone is also large enough to anchor three stone settings where two flanking accents create a narrative of balance and journey, and it is equally suited to bespoke signet or statement pieces for those who wish to make a bold, personal declaration. The gem is a choice for those who prefer stones with natural origins, the kind of piece that feels as if it were always destined to be worn with reverence.
