1.53 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional Ceylon chrysoberyl carries the quiet dignity of centuries of gemstone lore, a gem that feels as if it were made to belong to the next great heirloom. At 1.53 carat, this transparent oval carries a rare yellowish green hue, intense in color, with dimensions of 7.45 by 6.38 by 4.33 mm, a size that balances presence with wearable grace. From the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka this stone arrives to us unenhanced, and with a clarity graded as very slightly included at eye level, attributes that confirm its natural beauty and authenticity. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this chrysoberyl with confidence in its excellent polish, a finish that honors traditional cutting practices while celebrating the gem for modern jewelry design. For collectors and connoisseurs who treasure lineage and legacy, this stone is an invitation to create a piece that will be admired for generations.

The mixed brilliant cut of this oval chrysoberyl is where history meets precision, a geometry designed to maximize light play and to reveal inner fire at every turn. Carefully proportioned facets work in concert, the crown facets directing light inward, the pavilion angles returning it as flashes of lively brilliance, and the girdle transitions preserving balance and symmetry. This geometric faceting renders the yellowish green color with vibrant depth, producing lively scintillation and a play of tones that shift from lemon to chartreuse as it moves under light. The excellent polish enhances that optical performance, allowing each facet plane to act as a mirror, and the mixed brilliant layout is particularly effective in an oval outline, elongating the stone and enhancing perceived size. We recommend settings that allow light to enter unobstructed from below and the sides, such as open prong or low bezel designs, to showcase the cut and intense color. As with all fine chrysoberyl, minimal care is required, gentle cleaning with warm soapy water will preserve its brilliance, and with the natural, unenhanced origin assured by The Natural Gemstone Company this gem becomes an enduring expression of taste, history, and craftsmanship, perfect for an engagement piece, a statement ring, or a pendant destined to become a cherished family treasure.
