20.28 Ct. Aquamarine from Brazil

From the ancient riverbeds and granite pegmatites of Brazil to the quiet light of a master cutter s studio, this aquamarine carries a story that is both geological and human, both deep time and careful craftsmanship. Born where molten rock met the slow patience of water and cooling, the crystal formed over millions of years, absorbing trace amounts of iron that imparted its delicate bluish green hue. Local miners uncovered this exceptional rough in Brazil, a region celebrated for producing aquamarines that combine size with clarity. The sight of the raw crystal, with its promise of clarity and color, inspired a lineage of hands to guide it from the earth into light, and in that journey the gem acquired its first layer of meaning. Aquamarine has been a talisman of sailors, a stone of calm and clarity in many cultures, and a modern sign of refined taste. This particular piece continues that tradition, carrying with it the story of place and of patient geological processes, a narrative that begins beneath the surface and ends with a jewel that invites connection.

The transformation from rough to refined gemstone is where technical skill meets artistic sensibility, and this aquamarine exemplifies that marriage. We present one transparent 20.28 carat fancy shape bluish green aquamarine, with exact dimensions 22.60 x 16.60 x 12.90 mm, fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with the broad, serene flashes that aquamarine is known for. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is eye clean, a testament to the quality of the material and to the cutter s choices in orientation and faceting. The light color intensity gives the gem an airy, marine resonance that feels at once subtle and unmistakable, and the excellent polish allows each facet to sing when light passes through. To enhance and stabilize that natural tone, the stone has been heat treated, a widely accepted and disclosed enhancement that deepens and clarifies aquamarine s color without compromising its integrity. Origin Brazil is proudly part of this gem s identity, and every facet speaks to a deliberate process of selection and refinement, where weight, color, and clarity were all considered to reveal the gem s finest expression.
