9.51 ctw Custom-Cut Almandite Garnet Pair

Deep wine-red color and a highly unusual custom shape give this 9.51 ctw matched pair of almandite garnets strong collector character. The stones weigh 4.86 and 4.65 ct and are closely matched in size, with a distinctive four-point silhouette that immediately sets them apart from standard garnet cuts.

Checkerboard-style faceting across the crown is paired with a brilliant-cut pavilion, creating flashes of red as the stones move. Their naturally deep tone also produces some areas of extinction and limits overall brightness, which is reflected in the Otzera evaluation. Minor crystals and needles are present but do not define the face-up appearance.

For a collector or jewelry project, the appeal is the combination of substantial size, close matching and a one-of-a-kind custom cut that would translate especially well into a dramatic pair of earrings.
