1.26 Ct. Yellowish Green Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing describes a single transparent chrysoberyl, 1.26 carats, presented in an oval outline with precise proportions of 7.28 by 5.28 by 3.73 millimeters. The gem displays a yellowish green hue with medium color intensity, and it has been cut with a mixed brilliant facet pattern to balance table brilliance with pavilion scintillation. Clarity is graded as very slightly included based on an eye level inspection, and the surface finish is evaluated as excellent polish. No enhancements have been applied, and the stone is documented as originating from Ceylon in Sri Lanka. These measured and observed characteristics make the piece a clearly defined candidate for fine jewelry work where color balance and optical performance are priorities.

Optically the stone benefits from the mixed brilliant treatment, which concentrates return of light through the table while maintaining dynamic flashes on movement. The medium color intensity produces a versatile visual presence that can read warmer under gold settings, and slightly fresher against white metals, without overwhelming small scale designs. At 1.26 carats and the stated dimensions the oval shape provides an elegant face up appearance that is proportionally balanced for rings and pendants, while the slightly shallower versus deeper proportions assist in providing a comfortable profile for bezel mounts. The very slight inclusions do not interfere with overall transparency or sparkle, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and defined light return.

This chrysoberyl is suitable for a wide range of custom settings. In ring designs it functions well as a classic prong set solitaire where four or six prongs lift the gem to maximize light intake, or as a low profile bezel for a contemporary secure mount. A halo arrangement amplifies perceived size and increases visual impact, while a three stone composition offers symmetry with tapered side stones that complement the oval outline. For pendants the gem adapts to suspended bezel trays or crowned bails that show the table unobstructed. In earring applications a matched pair could be fashioned from similar material for studs or drops, with this single gem serving as a central focal element in a bespoke asymmetric set. Design approaches such as east west orientation, split shank accents, and open gallery work are all feasible given the stone dimensions and cut.

When considering metal choice and fabrication methods, the stone’s medium yellowish green tone pairs effectively with yellow gold to enhance warmth, with rose gold for a subtle contrast, and with white gold or platinum for a cooler, modern presentation. Given chrysoberyl durability properties this material is well suited to everyday wear, and protective settings are recommended for active ring designs. The measured proportions and excellent polish simplify setting fabrication and allow experienced setters to retain the integrity of the faceting while securing the stone. The Natural Gemstone Company can provide further guidance on prong sizing, bezel wall thickness, and recommended side stone profiles to achieve desired brightness and balance within your piece. For bespoke commissions our gemological and design team will advise on mounting choices that preserve the natural character and performance of this unenhanced Ceylon chrysoberyl.
