Orange is a color that divides opinion. In a Spessartine of this size, it is simply captivating.
At 4.24 carats with measurements of 11.13 × 9.20 mm, this is a stone that commands attention. The pear cut is one of the most elegant shapes in gemology – rounded on one end, tapering to a point on the other, alive with movement. Paired with the distinctive orange of Spessartine, the result is a stone that immediately draws the eye, regardless of how it is set.
Spessartine is a garnet – but one with a personality all its own. Its orange color comes from manganese and ranges from soft, peachy tones to deep, vivid mandarin. This stone sits in a rich, warm orange that reaches its full effect in natural daylight, glowing with an intensity that is hard to ignore.
The moderate inclusions are not uncommon in Spessartines of this size – they are part of the stone's natural character and do nothing to diminish its brilliance. For those who appreciate a stone with genuine presence over a flawless but lifeless specimen, this is worth a close look.
A Spessartine at this size, in this cut, in this color – this is not an everyday stone.
