Spessartine Garnet Red 0.97 CT | Marquise Cut Namibia
This 0.97 carat spessartine garnet from Namibia is a slender stroke of red fire. The marquise cut lengthens the gem into a graceful navette that releases long mirror flashes as it turns. Color settles in a rich ember red with lively mandarin sparks near the tips that keep the face bright. The crown is crisp and the polish is glassy, so the gem reads clean and vivid from edge to edge. Transparency is excellent and faint internal wisps add a subtle glow rather than distraction. On the hand the outline looks tailored and elegant and it gives surprising presence for its weight.
Namibia set the modern standard for spessartine in the nineties when its northwestern deposits revealed crystals with exceptional saturation and life. The species takes its name from the Spessart Forest in Germany, yet it was African sunlight that made collectors fall in love. This stone belongs to that lineage and offers a refined size that welcomes many design directions. Set east west for a chic contemporary line or point it north south to echo vintage navette rings. Yellow or rose gold will amplify the warmth, while platinum creates striking contrast. Chosen by Luminvault for its poise and color, it is a small gem with big character.
Fully certified for authenticity and quality, comes with a sensory experience that you won't forget. Don't miss your chance to own this stunning piece of earth wonder.
