3.48 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Chrysoberyl Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This matched pair of semi-translucent greenish yellow chrysoberyls from Ceylon, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, is an attractive choice for a collector or client seeking natural, untreated gems. The stones weigh 1.75 carats and 1.73 carats respectively and are oval cabochon cut with dimensions 7.22 x 4.94 x 4.96 mm and 7.09 x 5.08 x 4.70 mm. Cabochon cutting is the traditional choice for chrysoberyl when one wants to emphasize surface luster, body color, and any potential optical effects; these examples show a smooth, consistent dome and an excellent polish that produces a bright silky sheen across the surface. Color is graded at medium light intensity with a greenish yellow hue typical of Sri Lankan material, where iron trace elements often influence the tone. The clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning small internal characteristics are present but not dominant; these inclusions are common in natural chrysoberyl and do not compromise the structural integrity of the stones. Importantly, these gems have received no enhancements and are Certified by Other, a relevant certification for provenance and treatment disclosure.

For an educated buyer, the value proposition of this pair rests on several factual points. Chrysoberyl is a durable species with a Mohs hardness around 8.5, making it suitable for everyday jewelry when appropriately set, and the cabochon form is especially well suited to earrings, pendants, or bezel-set rings where protection and light play are optimized. The near-match in weight and dimensions enhances their desirability as a pair, simplifying mounting and ensuring visual balance in finished jewelry. The Ceylon origin contributes to market appeal, as Sri Lankan chrysoberyl is recognized for attractive color ranges and consistent quality. The combination of medium light color intensity, natural origin, no enhancements, and professional certification supports both aesthetic enjoyment and long-term collectability.
