4.47 Ct. Aquamarine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a show stopping center stone for an engagement ring, a distinctive cocktail ring, or a rare addition to a collectors trove, this aquamarine from Ceylon Sri Lanka answers that search with quiet confidence. This transparent 4.47 carat asscher octagon aquamarine measures 10.41 by 10.24 by 7.00 millimeters, offering a substantial face up presence and comfortable depth for secure setting. Its asscher cut presents the classic stepped facets and cropped corners that create windows of light and broad flashes, and with eye clean clarity evaluated at eye level, the transparency is exceptionally pleasing. The greenish blue hue sits at a medium color intensity that reads fresh and versatile, while excellent polish ensures lively scintillation, and the stone has been heat treated, a standard enhancement that intensifies its pure, even tone. At The Natural Gemstone Company we carefully select and document gems with provenance and character, and this Ceylon aquamarine brings both natural origin and fine cutting to a custom design.

Imagine this asscher octagon as a serene focal point framed by complementary gems to amplify its greenish blue allure. For a classic engagement ring, a delicate halo of white diamonds will add brilliance and make the center stone read larger, while tapered baguette side stones will emphasize the step cut geometry and elongate the finger. For a warmer, more romantic look, pair the aquamarine with soft peach morganites and small rose gold bezels, the contrast between cool aqua and warm pink creating a modern vintage balance. For collectors and bold designs, accenting with deep blue sapphires or teal sapphires in channel set shoulders will deepen the color story without overpowering the center stone. In a pendant, floating the aquamarine in a minimal platinum or white gold bezel will highlight its icy clarity, while a rose gold frame with scattered melee diamonds will bring out its green undertones. With its excellent polish and eye clean appearance this gem adapts beautifully to solitaire, three stone, and halo settings, and its dimensions and depth allow for secure prong or bezel mounting. If you seek a refined center stone that feels both rare and wearable, this Ceylon asscher aquamarine is an ideal choice, and our design team at The Natural Gemstone Company can help realize a custom setting that showcases its best features.
