1.05 Ct. Aquamarine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Our latest offering at The Natural Gemstone Company is a stunning 1.05-carat blue aquamarine that distinguishes itself through a combination of impeccable craftsmanship and the renowned quality synonymous with Ceylon origins. With dimensions of 6.60 x 6.55 x 4.40 mm, this aquamarine presents a distinctive cushion shape that pays homage to many historic gemstones while asserting its own unique charm. What sets this gemstone apart is its mixed brilliant cut, designed to maximize internal brilliance while retaining a classic aesthetic, reminiscent of the famed Cullinan Diamond which revolutionized the way gemstones are perceived and cut for brilliance and fire.

The light color intensity of this aquamarine offers a serene blue hue that is both calming and captivating to the discerning eye. Such intensity places it alongside famous stones like the Hope Diamond which, with its deep azure tones, captivated the watchful eyes of connoisseurs across the world. However, while celebrated blues from history are known for their saturated colors, the light color intensity of our aquamarine lends it a versatile elegance, ideal for both vibrant day settings and sophisticated evening wear. The subtlety of its hue enhances its usability, in line with gemstones like the Dom Pedro Aquamarine, known for its exquisite color and complexity but with a softer approach.

Clarity is often a measure by which gemstones are judged and with a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this aquamarine stands shoulder to shoulder with historic gems that have mesmerized collectors and jewelers alike. In the world where clarity is paramount, this stone draws parallels to the Koh-i-Noor Diamond in its original form, whose slight inclusions inspired tales and theories without diminishing its alluring appeal. Our aquamarine’s clarity ensures minimal interruptions in light flow, enhancing its overall brilliance and affording it a luminance that remains brilliant in both natural and artificial lighting.

Craftsmanship is at the heart of each gem offered by The Natural Gemstone Company and this blue aquamarine fulfills that promise with an excellent polish. Much like the meticulous techniques employed in shaping the legendary Star of India, our aquamarine has been honed to achieve a finish that invites admiration from every angle. The precise execution of its facets ensures that while the light floods through its crystal structure, it radiates a light brilliance echoing that of the jewels crafted for royalty. Proudly mined from Ceylon, an origin that offers a historical significance akin to the mines of Golconda for sapphires, this aquamarine combines traditional allure with contemporary elegance, making it a timeless piece for passionate collectors.
