19.03 Ct. Amethyst from Brazil

From the slow patient heat and pressure deep within the earth to the skilled hands that reveal its inner fire, this purple amethyst has a story that connects nature, culture, and craftsmanship. Formed in the volcanic and hydrothermal veins of Brazil, each crystal grew over millennia as silica rich fluids cooled and arranged themselves into the characteristic quartz structure. The result is a gem that carries the memory of its origin in every facet, a vivid purple that whispers of mineral chemistry and geological time. Miners and gem sorters in Brazil have long recognized the special quality of stones with this intensity and clarity, and this oval amethyst of 19.03 carats was selected from rough that exhibited exceptional color zoning and transparency. The path from the mine to the cutter involved careful handling to preserve the natural zoning and to maximize the gem potential, and the cutter made deliberate decisions about orientation and faceting to honor the stone rather than mask its natural character.

Measured at 20.09 x 15.14 x 10.96 mm, this oval shaped amethyst is impressive in scale and proportion, a rare combination that suits fine jewelry and bespoke creations. It is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that balances the scintillation of brilliant facets with the depth and color display of step facets. The clarity grade reads very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone is essentially eye clean and presents a clear, undistracted window into its saturated purple. The color intensity is intense, a richness that reads strong in both daylight and artificial light, and the polish is excellent so that light dances across the surface with clean return and minimal visual noise. Importantly, this amethyst has undergone no enhancement, so the color and clarity are wholly natural, and the origin is documented as Brazil. For connoisseurs who value authenticity, this combination of weight, dimensions, cut, and natural color creates a gemstone that stands on its own merit.

When considering custom jewelry, size and shape matter as much as color and clarity, and this 19.03 carat oval amethyst excels on both counts. The oval silhouette is timeless and versatile, flattering on a finger as a bold cocktail ring, elegant as the focal point of a pendant, or spectacular set horizontally in a statement bracelet or brooch. Its length to width ratio and the measured depth at 10.96 mm give a presence that is easy to design around, allowing jewelers to play with proportions while maintaining comfort for daily wear. The mixed brilliant cut enhances sparkle without sacrificing the deep purple saturation, making the stone equally suited to open prong settings that maximize light or bezel settings that protect and emphasize the silhouette. The eye clean nature of the gem simplifies design choices, since there is no need to hide inclusions and the cutter has left the pavilion and crown in proportions that favor both brilliance and color display. Designers can create halo settings with accent diamonds to amplify the amethyst color, choose warm yellow gold to make the purple sing, or select cool white gold or platinum for a more modern, refined contrast, each approach telling a unique story with this central gem as the protagonist.
