1.62 Ct. Aquamarine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the lush green landscapes of Sri Lanka, known in ancient times as Ceylon, lies a world rich with natural wonders. It is here, far removed from the bustling chaos of the modern world, that the story of our elegant 1.62 carat fancy shape blue aquamarine begins. The island is famed for its verdant jungles and rolling hills, but perhaps its greatest treasure lies beneath the soil, where the earth cradles gemstones of unmatched beauty. The aquamarine, a gem with a name derived from the Latin words for water and sea, is no exception.

In the whispering winds that skitter across the ocean’s surface, one can never overlook the deep, serene hue of blue so akin to that embodied by this aquamarine, which encapsulates the tranquil spirit of the seas. As we extract this gem from the embrace of Sri Lanka's rich terrain, akin to plucking the stars from the night sky, we appreciate the incredible journey it has taken. Unlike ordinary stones, this aquamarine emerges shaped by the natural elements through eons, perfecting its dazzling step cut. This cut, hailed for its artful symmetry, brings forth the gentlest dance of light upon its surface, much like the shimmering path of sunlight on the water at dawn.

The narrative of this aquamarine cannot be separated from the famed jewels of yore. History speaks of Cleopatra's renowned emeralds, plucked from Egypt's bounteous mines and celebrated for their vivid allure. Our blue aquamarine, while differing in color, draws comparison not only by the vibrant saturation of its medium intensity but also by the aura of sophistication it imparts. Such comparisons to illustrious gems highlight what truly sets this aquamarine apart – it offers a captivating blend of history and unique beauty created by natural processes, rather than human hands alone.

When light spills across its surface, refracted through jeweled steps, this aquamarine rivals the famous Hope Diamond's ability to mesmerize with a subtle shift of color. Its clarity, graded as very slightly included, ensures that the imperfections, akin to mere whispers in the symphony of its creation, do not mar its quality but rather attest to a natural authenticity that machine-perfect stones lack. When held, its dimensions of 7.71 by 10.49 by 4.18 mm reveal a balanced form that speaks to an ideal crafting, surely suitable for the most discerning connoisseur of fine gems.
