Comment: Over two carats any demantoid is considered jumbo, over three, and close to 4, not many are found in any given year. Here a precision fancy cut for a progressive jewelry design, e.g. a pendant on platinum medallion with a few tiny red garnets thrown in like star dust. Pity is they are almost as bad as emeralds in front of the camera, the green is many times more intense IRL, the high dispersion is tough to show, and in the handshot they catch far too much dull yellow. If this here is your size but you want a classic cut, we have a round 3+ carat in pure green coming up but it won't be cheap. This wild creation gets a discount not for any flaws but simply because their target market (people with daring jewelry taste) is so much smaller. Very eye-clean, DSEF certified, excellent cutting, very special in every possible way. In sunlight neon green. In mixed light metallic green with a yellow rusty 2nd hue.
