1.27 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

It is a rare pleasure to present to you a singular gem that belongs to a very select circle of connoisseurs, a piece that speaks to refined taste and discreet luxury, a chrysoberyl that arrives from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company with full provenance and confidence. This is not a mass produced stone, it is a naturally formed treasure that carries the quiet authority of geological time, a gem whose subtlety will be appreciated by those who seek distinction without ostentation. The cabochon cut invites close inspection, it softens the light and reveals an inner glow that is both intimate and revealing, and the semi transparent body of the stone allows for a gentle interplay between depth and surface that is impossible to replicate with treated material. When a collector or a jeweler chooses this chrysoberyl they are choosing a story as much as they are choosing color, clarity and cut, and that story begins in Ceylon Sri Lanka and continues through the hands of skilled cutters and polishers until it reaches you.

Let us be precise about the attributes that make this chrysoberyl exceptional, and why it may occupy a special place in a private collection or an exclusive bespoke commission. The stone weighs 1.27 carat, a size that balances wearability with presence, and it is fashioned into an elegant oval shape, its dimensions measuring 6.67 x 5.18 x 3.65 mm, a proportion that reads beautifully once set into a ring or pendant. The cabochon cut gives it a tactile, luminous quality and its semi transparent nature allows soft light to travel through the gem, revealing internal character without sacrificing surface brilliance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means that the internal features are minimal and do not detract from the gem s overall beauty, rather they provide a fingerprint of natural origin that affirms its authenticity. The color presents as greenish yellow with a medium intense color intensity, a hue that is both rare and versatile, moving easily between classic and contemporary settings, and the polish is excellent, allowing every curve of the dome to sing with clarity. There has been no enhancement to alter color or clarity, no heat, no irradiation, no glass filling, a statement of integrity that collectors will value.

Visually this chrysoberyl offers a gentle but persuasive presence, it carries a soft inner light that is warmer than typical green stones and cooler than pure yellow gems, a balance that gives it a unique personality and makes it exceptionally adaptable to different metals and design languages. In natural daylight the greenish yellow tone appears fresh and botanical with a slight lemon warmth, under indoor lighting the color leans toward a sophisticated mellow chartreuse that flatters both warm and cool skin tones, and when set into an elegant bezel or a minimalist prong mount the cabochon dome becomes the focal point of any composition. Because the stone is semi transparent and finely polished, the wearer will enjoy subtleties as the angle of view changes, small internal reflections will animate the surface and draw attention without shouting for it, a quality prized by those who prefer their luxury to be noticed by informed observers. This chrysoberyl also lends itself to bespoke treatments in design, it can be paired with delicate melee diamonds for a halo that amplifies its light, or set alone in a sculptural gold setting that highlights its organic character, and because of its dimensions it will translate beautifully into both high end everyday pieces and into statement jewels that are reserved for special occasions.
