A natural 1.01 carat tsavorite garnet in a cushion cut, completely untreated. Tsavorite is calcium aluminum silicate (grossular garnet) colored by trace vanadium and chromium — the most brilliant green gemstone species available in the collector and fine jewelry market. At exactly 1 carat in a cushion cut, this stone sits at the threshold for center stone use across the widest range of ring and pendant settings, and the cushion cut concentrates the vivid green saturation across the face. Tsavorite is never treated.

Why Choose this 1.01 ct Cushion Tsavorite Garnet?

Exactly 1 carat in a cushion cut is the specification that most consistently satisfies both the weight threshold and the format preference for tsavorite engagement rings and pendants. The cushion cut concentrates the green saturation in the same way it concentrates blue in sapphire — creating a warm, glowing face-up appearance that maximizes the visual impact of tsavorite's vivid color. At 1 carat, the stone has sufficient face-up surface to display the green clearly in any setting.

Key Benefits of this Natural Tsavorite Garnet

• Completely Untreated
  Tsavorite never requires treatment of any kind — this stone is natural exactly as cut from the rough.
• Vivid Green at Exactly 1 Carat
  The threshold weight for center stone use in a cushion format that concentrates the green.
• Cushion Cut Saturation
  The cushion geometry concentrates vivid green across the face — the same effect it creates in blue and pink sapphire.
• Superior to Emerald
  Vivid green, typically eye-clean, no oil treatment, more durable than emerald for daily wear.
• Durable Emerald Alternative
  7–7.5 on the Mohs scale — significantly more robust than emerald for ring and pendant use.
