1.01 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a rare moment captured in light, a pocket sized treasure that seems to glow from within, a gem that promises to transform an ordinary day into a cherished memory. From The Natural Gemstone Company I am proud to present a beautiful semi transparent chrysoberyl that sings softly in warm brownish yellow tones, a stone that will resonate with anyone who appreciates subtlety and substance. This oval shaped gem weighs 1.01 carat, and measures 5.99 x 4.67 x 3.69 mm, an elegant and wearable size that works perfectly for a ring, pendant, or a delicate bespoke piece. Cut as a cabochon, its smooth domed surface and excellent polish allow light to caress the stone, bringing out a medium intense color intensity that is both inviting and refined. Clarity has been carefully evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, and those tiny natural markers simply add to the individuality and story of the piece, evidence of its journey from deep earth to your hands. This chrysoberyl is unenhanced, a piece of nature in its honest form, and it hails from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a place celebrated for producing gems of character and warm complexion.

There is a special kind of joy that comes from wearing a gem that speaks to both emotion and endurance, a joy that this chrysoberyl is especially poised to deliver. Chrysoberyl is known for its remarkable durability, and this one will live through daily moments and milestone memories, resisting the small scratches of everyday life while developing the quiet patina of fond wear. Picture this cabochon set in a halo of tiny diamonds to lift its golden shimmer for an anniversary present, or nestled in a simple bezel in warm yellow gold to celebrate a new chapter, a promotion, or the arrival of a child. The gentle brownish yellow hue pairs beautifully with rose gold for a romantic glow, and it also complements ivory and earth toned fabrics, making it a versatile companion for both casual and formal wear. The very slightly included clarity gives the gem personality, the kind of internal sculpture that invites closer inspection and sparks conversation, turning a piece of jewelry into a living story that can be handed down through generations.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we believe that choosing a gemstone should feel like receiving a promise, not making a gamble, and this chrysoberyl embodies that promise in every facet. Because it is natural and untreated, you will be wearing an authentic expression of the earth, a gem with provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka and with no enhancements to alter its original beauty. If you would like personalized advice on how best to set this cabochon, I can recommend designs that protect the high dome while showcasing its light and color, for example a low bezel to safeguard the profile or a soft prong setting that allows light to play across the surface. Caring for it is simple, a gentle wipe with a soft cloth after wear and storage separate from harder stones will keep it radiant, and occasional professional cleaning will refresh its polish. If you would like additional close up photographs, certification details, or suggestions for mounting that will honor the gem and the moment you wish to commemorate, I am here to assist. Let us help you turn this modestly sized, but infinitely soulful chrysoberyl into the centerpiece of a memory you will love to wear forever.
