The elongated hexagon gemstone cut combines geometric elegance with modern sophistication. Inspired by one of nature’s most efficient shapes, the hexagon has appeared in art and architecture for centuries, symbolizing balance and harmony. While rarely used in early gem cutting, its symmetrical form gained popularity as cutting techniques advanced in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The Art Deco era of the 1920s–30s marked a turning point. Designers embraced bold, geometric cuts like the elongated hexagon, which complemented the clean lines and symmetry of the period. Its sharp angles and sleek form made it ideal for diamonds and colored stones alike, often set in platinum for a dramatic effect. In recent years, the elongated hexagon has seen a resurgence in custom and boutique jewelry. Its distinct shape stands out in engagement rings and designer pieces, especially when cut into gems like tourmaline, spinel, and garnet.

Now, imagine this rare form paired with the rich cherry red of a Tanga garnet—a gem born from a recent, exciting discovery in Tanzania. It’s a cut that commands attention and a color that captivates the eye. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece that blends modern design with natural wonder. Secure yours today before they're gone!
