1.10 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.10 carat emerald cut chrysoberyl measures 6.55 by 5.13 by 3.51 mm, presenting a refined greenish yellow hue with medium color intensity, and an outstanding level of polish. The emerald cut highlights the stone's clarity and color zoning, creating long step facets that offer elegant flashes of light and emphasize the gem crystal structure. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which to an informed buyer means that the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem's visual appeal or optical performance. There is no enhancement, which preserves the natural character and market desirability of the stone. With excellent polish and transparent body, this chrysoberyl displays the crisp facet definition and lively light return that collectors and fine jewelry makers expect from a premium cut. The weight and dimensions make it an ideal center stone for a delicate ring, a refined pendant, or a bespoke commission where both presence and wearability are important.

The origin of this chrysoberyl is Ceylon Sri Lanka, and that provenance materially enhances the gem's appeal and value. Sri Lanka has a long established reputation for producing high quality chrysoberyls with appealing natural colors, and stones from this source are often prized by connoisseurs for their combination of clarity and stable, attractive hues. Provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka suggests a geological environment that yields well crystallized material, and it also tends to correlate with minimal treatments, which is confirmed here by the no enhancement declaration. For the educated buyer, origin contributes to rarity and resale confidence, and it supports a narrative of responsible sourcing when accompanied by appropriate documentation. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind this piece with transparent information on grading and origin, and we encourage consideration of settings that protect the stone while showcasing its step cut geometry and natural brightness. Chrysoberyl is notable for its durability on the Mohs scale, making this gem suitable for daily wear when set responsibly. For collectors and designers seeking a naturally beautiful, provenance backed, and technically well executed chrysoberyl, this example represents a compelling balance of aesthetics, integrity, and long term value.
