1.27 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a beautiful transparent 1.27 carat pear shape brownish yellow chrysoberyl, dimensions 8.30 x 5.77 x 3.71 mm, mixed brilliant cut, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, excellent polish, no enhancement, origin Ceylon Sri Lanka, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. As a gemstone expert and a devoted guide to lovers of light and form, I present this stone first with exactness and honesty, so that you may fall in love with fact as much as with feeling. The pear silhouette captures a motion of water and flame, slender at the tip and generous at the shoulder, the kind of shape that invites a thousand ways to be held, to be set, to be cherished. Its one point two seven carat presence is intimate enough to whisper and bold enough to be seen from across a table, and the precise millimeter proportions speak to its graceful balance, ideal for rings, pendants, and earrings that seek a harmony between size and subtlety.

Bathe this chrysoberyl in light and watch the world soften, as if sunlight has been filtered through a jar of late summer amber. The brownish yellow hue leans toward warm honey and toasted citrus, a color that seems to remember both orchard and hearth, and the intense color intensity gives it a voice that is certain rather than shy. The mixed brilliant cut scatters light like a weathered mirror of rain, creating scintillation along the facets and a luminous depth that draws the eye inward. Under careful inspection the stone reads as very slightly included at eye level, a characteristic that lends a living authenticity and none of the vulnerability of treatments, because there has been no enhancement. Polished to an excellent finish, it is a surface that reflects devotion and expertise, and its origin from the storied gem lands of Ceylon Sri Lanka roots it in a tradition of fine chrysoberyl that collectors and romantics alike recognize. Chrysoberyl is a gemstone of enduring strength, naturally resilient for daily wear, and its hardness and stability make it an ideal companion for pieces that are meant to be worn and loved every day, especially engagement rings and heirloom creations.

Imagine this pear shaped heart set in many possible worlds. For a classic engagement ring place it in a delicate V shaped prong that cradles the tip and allows the shoulder to breathe, or choose a slim halo of fine brilliant diamonds to turn its honeyed center into a glowing sun. A bezel mount will lend modern minimalism and protective comfort, particularly elegant in a pendant that rests against the heart, or in an everyday ring that must withstand the small violences of life. For vintage romance select filigree and milgrain, let the warm brownish yellow dance with rose gold, and accent with cognac diamonds or champagne sapphires for an indulgent monochrome warmth. For crisp contemporary contrast choose cool white metal, perhaps platinum or white gold, and surround the chrysoberyl with bright white diamonds or deep blue sapphires to make its golden notes sing. East west orientation on a simple bezel creates an artistic signet like silhouette for a slide pendant, while a three stone setting pairs it with smaller accent gems to tell a story of past present and future. Consider matching this stone in earrings as part of a mirrored pair, or set it as the focal gem in a custom brooch, cufflinks, or a gentleman s ring where the warm tone will read as quiet sophistication. Personal touches may include hand engraving of a private line, a hidden halo under the gallery for a secret sparkle, or a mixed metal shank for contrast and continuity with other pieces in your collection.
