Demantoid garnet 1.10 ct | vivid green
An exceptionally beautiful demantoid garnet with outstanding brilliance that reveals its sparkle from every angle when rotated.
When I had the rough demantoid, I was contemplating what kind of cut to give it so that I could both preserve its final weight and enhance its brilliance. It was a very beautiful and clean rough stone that required thoughtful design, and I designed the cut based on the shape of the rough. I am very satisfied with the result.
This demantoid garnet has very high clarity to the point where nothing obstructs the passage and return of light inside it, which greatly contributes to its beauty.
Additionally, the impressive weight of this demantoid is noteworthy. A weight of over 1 carat for such a clean stone with excellent color is quite remarkable.
The cut shape is cushion, though it could also be classified as oval. However, I personally designed it based on the cushion shape. This is a mixed cut, meaning the pavilion features a step cut, while the crown (top of the stone) has a brilliant cut. The combination of these two creates a miracle. Everything you desire in a stone is found here: beauty and uniform symmetry, excellent brilliance, attractive color, and superb luster.
In this demantoid, the polishing and symmetry are so well executed that you can hold the stone for hours and examine its various parts with a loupe. It is very difficult to maintain perfect symmetry when the girdle is not faceted but curved, yet this is one of my specialties—I spend hours to achieve a flawless cut, and I use the highest quality polishing materials to reach the stone’s maximum luster.
On the other hand, because I perceive a stone’s beauty when the girdle is curved, I boldly choose not to facet the girdle. Instead, I invest more time to enhance the stone’s beauty and ensure the symmetry is perfected to the highest degree.
This stone can be very appealing to a collector, as it combines all the qualities of an excellent demantoid garnet.
This demantoid garnet contains a small amount of herstil inclusions, which are visible under a loupe and help confirm the stone’s authenticity. Additionally, this demantoid garnet is completely natural and untreated. Its rough was mined from Iranian deposits located in Kerman.
