1.68 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Chrysoberyl has long held a place in the jewelry traditions of civilizations that prized enduring beauty and subtle power, and this pear shape green chrysoberyl recalls that lineage with a clarity and presence that feels timeless. Mined in Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated since antiquity for some of the finest gemstones in the world, this gem carries with it the romance of old trade routes and the patience of geological art. The soft, classical teardrop silhouette evokes designs worn by generations, a form that flatters the neck or hand and translates easily into a family heirloom. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this stone not simply as an accessory, but as a piece of history shaped for modern life, a jewel that bridges past and present with grace.

Measured at 1.68 carats, with dimensions of 8.61 by 5.67 by 5.07 millimeters, this transparent green chrysoberyl commands attention while maintaining elegant proportions, making it ideal for a true statement piece. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to an excellent polish, allowing the medium color intensity to sparkle with lively reflections, and the clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, which means the stone reads as clean and luminous to the viewer and maximizes visual impact when set. There are no enhancements, a quality increasingly prized by collectors and connoisseurs who value natural beauty and integrity. The combination of weight, size and exceptional cut gives the gem the presence needed to anchor a bold ring or to hang as a singular pendant, while the very slightly included clarity permits an open window of light to play within, creating a scintillating show that will be unmistakable from the moment it catches the light. For those who favor classic settings, prongs will showcase the pear form and brightness, and a simple bezel will protect the stone while honoring its lineage. Whether fashioned into a modern statement creation or a traditionally inspired piece destined to be passed down, this Ceylon chrysoberyl offers both the substance and the subtlety that define a treasured gem.
