1.58 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the moment light meets this cushion shaped yellow chrysoberyl your heart will recognize a rare blend of sunshine and serenity, a gem that speaks quietly but with authority about taste and intention. This transparent 1.58 carat cushion chrysoberyl measures 7.21 by 6.91 by 3.87 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize fire and scintillation while preserving the stone that nature created. The color is a medium intense yellow that glows from within, the clarity is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent, allowing facets to sing with each movement. This gem is completely natural and untreated, no enhancement, and it hails from the celebrated gem lands of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that has been treasured for generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this chrysoberyl not as an object but as a living memory starter, a luminous anchor for moments you have yet to name.

Picture the mornings and evenings when that warm yellow radiance catches someone else eye and starts a conversation about who you are and what you value. When set into a ring or a pendant this chrysoberyl will not only reflect light, it will reflect stories. It is the sort of piece that becomes synonymous with milestone days, with anniversaries that mark growth, with birthdays that celebrate continuity. The stone sits at a comfortable yet impactful size that reads elegant on a slender finger, and confident on a hand that moves through a life of purpose. Because this chrysoberyl is unenhanced and sourced from a historic gem region, it carries authenticity that becomes ever more meaningful as it is held in the family over decades, the same way heirloom recipes and handwritten letters gain depth with time.

Beyond the emotion that it evokes, this gem is built for lasting presence, a practical promise of durability and longevity. Chrysoberyl ranks at 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, which means it resists scratches and daily wear far better than most gemstones, and with proper care it will retain its polish and brilliance through everyday life and special occasions alike. The mixed brilliant cut enhances light return, producing flashes and brilliance that create dynamic life in the stone no matter the setting. We recommend classic settings that honor the cushion silhouette, settings such as a low profile bezel for wearability, a refined four or six prong mounting for maximum light exposure, or a halo that frames the yellow hue without overpowering it. Metals such as warm yellow gold will amplify the sunny notes of the chrysoberyl, rose gold will add a romantic glow, and platinum will lend a modern contrast that emphasizes clarity and sparkle.

To gift this chrysoberyl is to begin a tradition, to hand forward not simply an object but an inheritance of feeling and beauty. Imagine the day that this gem is passed down, arriving in the hands of a daughter or son who will feel the history embedded in its facets, who will read the provenance label that marks Ceylon Sri Lanka and know that the stone was chosen with care for its natural brilliance. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind every detail of this piece, and we are here to assist with bespoke design, secure appraisal, and guidance on long term care so that your heirloom continues to shine. This chrysoberyl is rare in its combination of color intensity, transparency, cut and unenhanced origin, and when set in a thoughtfully crafted piece it will sit at the center of family stories, a beacon of joy, love and enduring style for generations to come.
