1.49 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Finding the perfect gemstone begins with understanding what matters most to you, whether that is a stone that sits comfortably as the centerpiece of an engagement ring, a unique cabochon for a bespoke pendant, or a rare addition to a collector s cabinet. This beautiful translucent 1.49 carat oval shape yellowish green chrysoberyl answers those needs with quiet confidence. Measuring 6.79 x 5.82 x 3.63 mm, the gem has an elegant oval silhouette that is inherently versatile, and its cabochon cut softens light into a gentle glow that flatters every skin tone. The color reads as a delicate yellowish green with medium color intensity, which makes it easy to pair with warm or cool metal tones, and the stone s translucency offers a welcoming depth that will translate beautifully in custom jewelry. At The Natural Gemstone Company we source stones that combine aesthetic appeal with practical dimensions, and this piece is a clear example of that ethos, offering presence without overwhelming a refined design.

For designers and clients focused on customization, the oval cabochon is a dream starting point, the proportions and smooth dome creating options across a wide range of settings. The 6.79 by 5.82 millimeter face provides an ideal visual footprint for slender engagement ring bands where a delicate, elegant center stone is desired, or it can be set as a central cabochon in stackable rings where subtlety and wearability are priorities. The 3.63 millimeter depth accommodates secure bezel or halo settings, giving jewelers confidence when crafting pieces meant to last. For pendants and earrings, the oval cabochon reads as a classic motif, and the gentle dome pairs well with polished metal bezels, sterling mounts, or minimalist prong work that highlights the stone s color and surface. If you are creating a custom engagement ring where comfort and daily wear are important, this chrysoberyl fits perfectly, offering a size that feels light on the hand while maintaining visible presence and individuality.

Quality matters when you invest in a gemstone meant for everyday wear or a cherished heirloom, and this chrysoberyl delivers notable attributes that support both beauty and longevity. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, the clarity is attractive and natural, with inclusions that do not dominate the gem s appearance but rather remind the wearer of its earthy and authentic origin. The polish is excellent, enhancing the stone s surface smoothness and allowing light to travel and reflect with pleasing softness across the cabochon dome. There has been no enhancement applied to this gem, so you are acquiring a naturally presented color and finish, and the origin of Ceylon Sri Lanka adds provenance that collectors and discerning clients often seek. Chrysoberyl s reputation for durability is well deserved, and its resistance to abrasion makes it a reliable choice for rings that will be worn often, as well as for everyday pendants and earrings that need to withstand the rhythms of a busy life.

When you are ready to turn a vision into a finished piece, The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to assist with design guidance, secure shipping, and personalized attention to ensure the setting showcases this chrysoberyl to its fullest advantage. Whether your goal is a refined engagement ring with an understated center, a bespoke pendant that catches the eye with subtle color, or an exclusive collector s piece that emphasizes natural, unenhanced character, this oval cabochon is an excellent solution.
