0.83 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Chrysoberyl carries with it a lineage that reaches back to the earliest chapters of gem lore, a stone celebrated by civilizations that prized endurance, clarity, and a quiet radiance. From the ancient trade routes that stitched South Asia to the Mediterranean, to the private collections of nobility and scholars, chrysoberyl has been admired for its ability to convey both inner strength and serene beauty. This particular yellowish green cabochon from Ceylon returns the admirer to that storied past, offering a tactile connection to centuries of jewelry making and cultural taste. As custodians of fine natural gems, The Natural Gemstone Company honors that heritage by presenting each piece with transparency and respect for its origin, inviting a wearer to become part of the continuing story of a gem that has always been about legacy rather than fashion.

In technical and aesthetic terms this specimen is a refined expression of chrysoberyl character, and its details reveal why it is well suited for classic and heirloom settings. It weighs 0.83 carat, and measures 6.63 by 4.61 by 2.87 mm, cut in an oval cabochon that accentuates its soft, semi translucent glow. The cabochon cut permits a gentle play of light across the domed surface, and here the polish is excellent, resulting in a smooth, almost luminous face that feels pleasing to the touch. The lab classification assigns the hue as Yellowish Green, and the stone displays medium intense color intensity that balances presence with subtlety, making it versatile for both daytime wear and evening elegance. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a quality that preserves the gem's natural character without distracting from its overall purity. There has been no enhancement to alter the gem, and the stone carries certification from Other, with provenance traced to Ceylon Sri Lanka, a historical source renowned for producing gemstones that combine vividness with classical restraint. These attributes together create a gemstone that is honest in origin, deliberate in appearance, and timeless in appeal.

For those who favor tradition and continuity in their jewelry choices this chrysoberyl offers a particularly compelling proposition. Its oval cabochon silhouette suits period inspired settings, whether set in a simple bezel to emphasize continuity and wearability, or framed by a halo of small diamonds to bridge old world charm and contemporary refinement. Because the color reads as a yellowish green it pairs beautifully with warm metals, especially yellow gold, which enhances the stone's subtle warmth, and with rich rose gold for a romantic, vintage influenced aesthetic. Practical care is straightforward, mirroring the low maintenance nature of chrysoberyl itself, and gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap will preserve the polish and depth of tone for generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we are committed to guiding you through the selection process, offering insights on mounting options and provenance documentation, and ensuring that this Ceylon cabochon can be transformed into an heirloom that will be passed on with pride. If you seek a gem that communicates a sense of history, continuity, and refined taste, this yellowish green chrysoberyl stands ready to become the next chapter in a lasting legacy.
