1.39 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When a customer comes searching for a gemstone that feels both rare and wearable, they want a gem that answers a quiet set of needs. They want a color that is gentle but not pale, a surface that glows under light without needing constant polishing, a size that is meaningful without overpowering, and an honest origin that connects the gem to a storied source. Whether the quest is for an engagement ring that stands apart from the usual choices, a pendant that speaks of understated elegance, or a new addition to a curated collection of natural stones, this yellow chrysoberyl answers those needs with calm confidence. The Natural Gemstone Company curates gems that are unchanged, natural, and ready to become heirloom pieces, and this translucent oval cabochon is a perfect example of a stone that brings character, wearability, and provenance together.

This particular gem is a 1.39 carat oval chrysoberyl, with precise dimensions of 6.61 x 5.68 x 3.52 mm, and a classic cabochon cut. The cabochon shape creates a soft dome that allows the internal tones to diffuse evenly, producing a gentle luminous presence that flat cuts rarely achieve. The stone is translucent, allowing light to move through the body of the gem and create a warm, inviting yellow glow, and its color intensity is best described as medium light, a shade that feels versatile across many jewelry settings. Clarity is graded as eye clean at normal viewing distances, which means that inclusions do not distract from the gem at eye level, and the polish is excellent, giving the surface a smooth mirrored finish that catches light without glare. Importantly, this chrysoberyl is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a locality long celebrated for producing fine chrysoberyl specimens. These specifics mean that you are receiving a gem that is honest, naturally expressive, and ready for a thoughtful setting.

For customers who want a piece that will be worn frequently, chrysoberyl offers practical benefits as well as beauty. With strong durability and resistance to everyday abrasion, chrysoberyl stands up well to rings and bracelets, while the cabochon form reduces the risk of edge chipping that can occur with faceted stones. The medium light yellow tone pairs beautifully with warm metals such as yellow gold, where the color blends into a classic, timeless look, and with cool metals such as white gold or platinum, where the soft yellow becomes an elegant focal point against a neutral backdrop. Designers may choose to set this oval cabochon as a solitaire for a clean statement, or surround it with small accent diamonds or colored accent stones to elevate its presence while preserving the gem as the center of attention. Collectors seeking a distinct specimen will appreciate the combination of translucency, eye clean clarity, and natural origin from Sri Lanka, making this stone a strong candidate for both display and future resale, given its natural, unenhanced status.
