2.06 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

This exceptional green tsavorite garnet carries with it the timeless allure of nature and the quiet dignity of classical jewels, a stone that seems to have been plucked from the deep forests of legend and set aside for a modern heirloom. We present one transparent 2.06 carat cushion shape tsavorite garnet, with precise dimensions of 8.15 x 6.67 x 4.28 mm, a mixed brilliant cut that balances fire and depth, and a clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level. Its color reads as vivid in intensity, while its polish is excellent, and it is entirely natural with no enhancement, sourced from the rich deposits of Tanzania. Though tsavorite is relatively young in the history of gemology, it captures the same reverence and visual language as the green gemstones treasured by ancient courts and empires. When you hold this stone you can sense both the geological processes that formed it over eons and the continuity of human desire for deep, living color that speaks of prosperity, renewal, and endurance.

The cushion shape in this tsavorite draws together classic form and contemporary sensibility, the softened corners and broad facets lending the gem an old world silhouette while the mixed brilliant facet arrangement throws lively scintillation with every movement. The mixed brilliant cut is designed to maximize both light return and color saturation, so the vivid green centers and the darker forest tones in the pavilion work together to give the stone a three dimensional presence. Slight inclusions, visible at eye level when closely inspected, are common among fine natural garnets and do not detract from the overall eye clean appearance in typical jewelry settings, instead they attest to the gem s natural origin and history. The excellent polish ensures that each facet edge is crisp and reflective, allowing the tsavorite s verdant hue to glow rather than cloud, and the lack of any enhancement means the color you see is the color nature intended, untouched and honest, from the heart of Tanzania to your design.

It is precisely this vivid color intensity that will make the tsavorite stand out in any jewelry setting, whether set as a singular solitaire that commands attention, framed in a halo of white diamonds to amplify contrast, or nestled between flanking stones in a three stone ring that tells a story of past present and future. Against white metals such as platinum or white gold the green becomes electric and jewel like, the cool backdrop sharpening each tone into brilliant contrast. Against warm metals like yellow gold or rose gold the same green gains a vintage richness, an almost imperial quality that recalls emeralds worn by queens, while a delicate bezel setting will emphasize the cushion silhouette for a quietly modern look that still feels rooted in tradition. In pendants the stone will catch the light like a living leaf, in stud or drop earrings it will provide a symmetry of color that flatters the complexion, and in mens pieces such as cufflinks the color will offer a confident yet refined statement. The dimensions of 8.15 by 6.67 by 4.28 mm are ideal for a ring focal point that reads substantial but not overpowering, and the 2.06 carat weight ensures presence and balance in most classic settings.
