1.22 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

A single breath of summer dawn lives within this cushion shaped chrysoberyl, a transparent yellowish green heart of light weighing 1.22 carat, a gem that seems to have bottled the first thaw of morning dew. Cut to a mixed brilliant pattern that catches and scatters light like sun through young leaves, its dimensions of 6.74 x 5.48 x 3.73 mm are the perfect balance of presence and delicacy. The color rests at a medium intense green with a hint of sunlit yellow, serene and enlivening at once, while an excellent polish lets every facet sing with clarity. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade reads slightly included, intimating natural character rather than flaw, and the stone carries no enhancement, a pure voice from its Tanzanian birthplace. Hold it and imagine a private grove where sunlight moves through the canopy in deliberate strokes, each facet a window that reflects the world back with fresh affection.

This chrysoberyl is a dream for imagining many lives, and The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to translate that dream into your most intimate designs, settings that will make this gem the center of a story. For an engagement ring that balances classic romance with quiet originality consider a solitaire in a four or six prong setting to maximize fire and breadth. For a ring that reads like a whisper of antique poetry choose a halo, small diamonds or colored sapphires cradling the cushion form, or a double halo to amplify presence. A bezel setting will make the gem a steadfast companion for everyday wear, protecting its edges while offering a modern silhouette, whereas an open gallery with a cathedral or split shank will invite light to play through the pavilion, enhancing the mixed brilliant cut. Consider an east west orientation for a contemporary twist, or a three stone ring to tell a tale of past present and future. As a pendant the gem becomes a green sun at the throat, whether set simply in a polished bezel for effortless elegance, or surrounded by rose gold filigree for a vintage sentiment. For earrings this chrysoberyl will sing as studs, halo drops, or paired asymmetric designs that balance color and movement. Thinking beyond rings and earrings imagine a bespoke brooch, cufflinks, or a signet touched by this rare green, or a stackable ring set where this stone is the leading note amid bands of gold and melee diamonds. Metal choices of warm yellow or rose gold will deepen the yellowish undertone, white gold or platinum will lift the green toward a cooler clarity, and a mixed metal design can offer contrast that frames the gem as an intimate secret.

Practical details are as important as poetry when bringing such a stone into being, and our craftsmen at The Natural Gemstone Company will guide you through every choice, from prong count to profile height to the precise setting that honors the 6.74 x 5.48 x 3.73 mm proportions and the 1.22 carat weight. Because the clarity is slightly included at eye level we will advise settings that either conceal or celebrate the stone character, and because there are no enhancements we can speak to maintenance and longevity with confidence. We offer bespoke consultations that include sketches and CAD renderings, metal and accent gemstone samples, and bespoke engraving options so that the piece you create becomes an heirloom with a story. Pairings in small melee diamonds will brighten and delineate, while tiny sapphires or green garnets will create tonal continuity. For care we recommend gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, occasional professional inspection of prongs or bezels, and avoidance of harsh chemicals to preserve the polish and natural allure. From first spark of inspiration to finished promise the Tanzanian chrysoberyl waits to be set, to become a voice in metal and light, to hold vows and memories and quiet mornings for decades to come.
