1.58 Ct. Aquamarine from Brazil

This aquamarine presents as a transparent, oval shape weighing 1.58 carats, with calibrated proportions of 9.11 x 6.89 x 4.33 mm. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that combines a faceted crown optimized for scintillation with a pavilion design that returns light efficiently. The result is a balanced presentation where both sparkle and internal reflectance are visible across viewing angles. The cut quality is evident from its symmetry and facet junctions, and the excellent polish enhances surface crispness, permitting light to enter and exit without obstruction. The oval outline provides an elongated face up appearance, making this specimen suitable for a range of jewelry designs where a refined, elegant proportion is desired.

Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which communicates that inclusions are minor and do not detract from the overall transparency or visual appeal when examined without magnification. In practical terms this clarity grade supports superior light transmission, and it contributes to the pronounced brilliance that characterizes the mixed brilliant faceting. The color is assessed as medium light intensity in the blue range, offering a classic aquamarine tone that reads as fresh and cool, while still maintaining enough saturation to be present as a focal element in a setting. Heat treatment has been applied as a standard enhancement to stabilize and subtly refine color, a common practice for aquamarine that is disclosed and compatible with routine jewelry use.

The origin of this aquamarine is Brazil, a source known for producing specimens with clean crystallography and attractive, even color distribution. From a gemological perspective aquamarine belongs to the beryl family, exhibiting a refractive index range that supports clean optical behavior and a Mohs hardness that facilitates daily wear with reasonable care. The combination of an excellent polish and the mixed brilliant cutting style maximizes dispersion and scintillation, enabling the stone to act as a visual centerpiece without relying on extreme color saturation. The oval shape and dimensions make mounting straightforward for bezel, prong, or halo settings, and the stone will center well in both contemporary and traditional designs where proportion and light performance are priorities.

As presented by The Natural Gemstone Company this aquamarine is suitable for collectors and designers seeking a gem with a measured balance of cut quality, clarity, and subtle color. Its 1.58 carat weight and proportional dimensions permit flexibility in design, while the mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish ensure that the stone will remain a focal point in a collection or as the principal element in a finished piece. Care recommendations include avoidance of harsh chemicals and abrupt temperature changes, with routine cleaning performed using warm soapy water and a soft brush.
