{"product_id":"1-73-ct-light-pink-malaya-garnet-cushion-cut-loose-stone","title":"1.73 ct Light Pink Malaya Garnet Cushion Cut | Loose Stone","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMalaya garnet is a rarer and more unusual member of the garnet family, and this 1.73 ct loose stone is cut in a cushion shape with softly rounded corners and bright, open facets. The name comes from a Swahili word often translated as \"outcast\", a nod to how these garnets sat outside the standard garnet categories when they were first found. Malaya garnet sits around 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale and is singly refractive, giving it a crisp, lively sparkle and enough toughness for a ring when it is set with sensible care. The cushion cut is a comfortable, classic outline that works in a solitaire, a pendant or a custom design with accent stones. For collectors and designers who want something less common than the usual coloured gemstones, it is an appealing choice. Hope Diamonds, a Perth-based specialist in provenance-led gemstones, offers the stone loose and can ship it Australia-wide for your jeweller to set.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hope diamonds \u0026 gemstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54030920909094,"sku":"KGA173AS","price":1060.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/2058\/7046\/files\/KGA173AS.jpg?v=1791259058","url":"https:\/\/hopediamonds.com.au\/products\/1-73-ct-light-pink-malaya-garnet-cushion-cut-loose-stone","provider":"Hope diamonds \u0026 gemstones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
