0.34 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that tell a story, and there are gemstones that carry centuries of tradition within their facets, this greenish yellow chrysoberyl belongs to the latter. Mined from the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this piece evokes the long history of Sri Lankan gems that have been cherished by kings and collectors for generations, it recalls the island known historically for producing stones of exceptional color and stability, it speaks to a legacy of craftsmanship and connoisseurship that values natural beauty preserved without enhancement. Chrysoberyl has always occupied a unique place among classic gems, prized for its remarkable hardness and durability, its capacity to retain a bright lifelike color, and for the way its clarity can be celebrated by precise cutting, this gem is a quiet ambassador of that heritage, perfect for those who value lineage as much as luminosity.

At the heart of this offering is a transparent 0.34 carat emerald cut chrysoberyl, emerald cut shape that accentuates step facets and a calm, architectural brilliance, the dimensions are 4.22 x 3.48 x 2.32 millimeters, the color leans to a refined greenish yellow with a medium intense color intensity that reads both fresh and refined under varied lighting. The clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to its natural origin and to the gem cutter who balanced weight retention and visual purity, the polish is excellent, so each facet edge produces crisp reflections that emphasize the gems internal life. There has been no enhancement, the stone remains wholly natural in color and clarity, and its origin in Ceylon adds another layer of authenticity that collectors and designers respect. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this chrysoberyl is ready to be set and to begin a new chapter as a wearable heirloom.

This chrysoberyl is especially appealing because its emerald cut and measured proportions lend themselves to a wide variety of custom settings, from a timeless solitaire ring that showcases the stone as the primary focus, to a protective bezel for everyday wear that honors the gems durability. Imagine it mounted in a classic prong setting to maximize light, surrounded by a delicate halo of white diamonds for contrast, or framed by tapered baguette side stones for a vintage Art Deco inspired composition. Its modest yet significant size makes it perfect for a refined pendant that rests near the heart, for matched stud earrings when paired with a twin gem, or for an asymmetric drop earring where the chrysoberyl becomes the focal point of an elegant cascade. Designers will also appreciate using it in a three stone ring with complementary colored gemstones, in a low profile bar setting for a modern stacking ring, or as a center for a signet or cufflink for a distinguished mens accessory. The warm greenish yellow tones adapt beautifully to different metals, yellow gold will enrich its warmth, rose gold will impart a romantic glow, white gold or platinum will heighten its crisp, sophisticated presence. For daily wear settings the gem benefits from protective designs that contain the stone safely while still allowing the emerald cut steps to display their depth. At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in helping clients envision bespoke creations that reflect personal histories, whether the ambition is a subtle heirloom to be worn every day, or an ornate piece destined for special occasions. We can provide custom sketches, metal and accent stone options, and professional guidance on proportions and setting styles so that this chrysoberyl becomes not just a purchase, but a crafted legacy to pass forward.
