1.70 Ct. Aquamarine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From a sun warmed river valley in Ceylon Sri Lanka comes a single flawless story of earth and water, and the skilled hands that bring them together. This is the journey of one transparent pear shaped blue aquamarine that began as a hidden glimmer in alluvial sands, discovered by an experienced local prospector who reads the riverbed like a map of generations. With a rarity that is felt more than measured, this stone was chosen from a small parcel for the purity of its tone and the way its light seemed to breathe, a gentle, oceanical blue that promised refinement rather than flash. Transported carefully to a small atelier where each parcel is examined by our trusted partners, it was this one that stood apart, a 1.70 carat gem whose presence is both discreet and unmistakable, a gem for those who value restraint and true provenance. At every stage the handling was minimal and conscientious, ensuring that the aquamarine retained its natural clarity and its original character.

In the hands of master cutters the rough was transformed into an elegant pear shape, its dimensions refined to 11.90 by 8.05 by 3.58 millimeters to create the most flattering table and silhouette for wearability and brilliance. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to marry scintillation with subtle depth, the faceting designed to catch the eye with lively flashes and to preserve the stone measuring very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a clarity that confirms its natural origin and contributes to its uniqueness. The color intensity reads as light, a delicate blue that recalls shallow tropical seas and cool morning skies, a hue that works beautifully with many metals and settings. No enhancement was applied, ensuring the gem is entirely natural, and an excellent polish grants each facet a mirror finish, maximizing both sparkle and the purity of its tone. The result is a gem that feels bespoke, a quiet declaration of taste and an heirloom in the making.
