1.59 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Chrysoberyl carries a lineage that stretches back through the annals of gem history, a stone admired by civilizations that prized meaning as much as beauty. This greenish yellow pear shape chrysoberyl evokes ancient sentiments of endurance and refinement, a jewel that could have graced the hands of a monarch or the neck of a noble in a palace by the sea. Its presence is at once quiet and commanding, a classic form that speaks to those who value tradition and legacy. The pear shape has long been favored for its ability to combine the dignity of a rounded silhouette with the poetic point that draws the eye, creating a silhouette that is as appropriate for a ceremonial occasion as it is for private remembrance. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that heritage, presenting gems that are not only naturally beautiful, but that tell a story of geological patience and human admiration through generations.

This particular chrysoberyl is a study in balance between color and light, one point five nine carat in weight, rendered in a transparent form that allows every facet to contribute to its overall brilliance. The stone measures eight point seven two by five point nine three by four point four nine millimeters, a proportion that enhances the pear shape and offers a comfortable scale for both rings and pendants. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the pavilion and crown work together to return light with lively scintillation, while maintaining a refined symmetry that is pleasing from every angle. Its clarity is graded as eye clean, when evaluated at eye level, ensuring that the viewer is invited to contemplate the pure interplay of tone and reflection without distraction. The intensity of the greenish yellow color is striking, neither weak nor overpowering, a hue that sits comfortably between vibrancy and subtlety, shifting in character as it meets ambient light. The polish is excellent, a flawless finishing that renders the surface mirror smooth, allowing light to glide and dance across the facets, intensifying the stone in motion as well as at rest. There is no enhancement to alter its natural state, the gem is true to its origins in Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that has long been associated with exemplary gemstones of character and depth.

The flawless quality of the finishing work on this chrysoberyl enhances its beauty from every perspective, every plane of the stone contributing to a cohesive visual harmony. When viewed face on the mixed brilliant faceting opens like a window, revealing a luminous core that radiates outward with crisp reflections, when viewed from the side the pear form displays elegant tapering that adds movement to the piece, and from the back the pavilion facets mirror the light and give the gem a sense of inner life. That inner life is heightened by the precision of the cut, each facet meeting its neighbor with geometric accuracy that increases the gem's ability to break light into scintillating flashes. The excellent polish ensures that those flashes are unbroken by surface blemish, and that the stone can be set into a design where its surface meets metal without compromise. This combination of transparency, intense natural color, and meticulous finishing is what transforms a fine chrysoberyl into an heirloom, a jewel that will retain its aesthetic and its emotional value across decades.

To wear this chrysoberyl is to carry a piece of tradition that has been carefully curated and preserved, a gem suited to classic settings that emphasize enduring lines and timeless elegance. A simple bezel or a tapered prong setting will honor the pear shape and allow its point to articulate a narrative of grace, while a halo of delicate accents may serve to enhance the central glow without overwhelming the stone itself. The dimensions and proportions of this gem make it versatile for both a statement ring or a pendant worn close to the heart, and its weight makes it substantial while remaining elegantly wearable. At The Natural Gemstone Company we are committed to the provenance and integrity of each gem we offer, and this chrysoberyl is presented with the assurance of natural origin and careful evaluation. For collectors and connoisseurs who value the passage of time, the quiet power of legacy, and the flawless craft that elevates a natural treasure, this pear shape chrysoberyl from Ceylon Sri Lanka represents a distinct opportunity to own a jewel that will endure in beauty and meaning.
