Qty:
The demantoid garnet is among the rarest varieties of this coveted gemstone, and this untreated example displays a particularly vivid, luminous green hue. The round brilliant cut stone weighs a monumental 9.78 carats and exhibits a level of refraction that rivals the finest diamonds on the market today. It is certified by the American Gemological Laboratories as being from the Ural Mountains of Russia and completely untreated with excellent color stability and transparency. As a result, it rivals the depth of color of an emerald and the brilliance of a diamond, displaying all of the best qualities of this covetable gem.

Given its high level of refraction, it is little wonder that the demantoid garnet's very name means “diamond-like,” and for this stone, the description is most fitting. These garnets exhibit an incomparable brilliance and fire and have been a favorite of collectors since their discovery in 1868. They display a wide variety of colors, and once cut, only a few stones weigh more than two carats, and most rarely exceed one.

This example, exhibiting a coveted green hue, is classically displayed in platinum with 2 pear cut diamonds and 18 round brilliant cut diamonds, all of G-H color with VS1-VS2 clarity and collectively totaling 1.42 carats.
