1.72 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite yellowish green chrysoberyl arrives as a rare jewel of understated power, a piece that announces itself through weight, color, and an unadorned natural beauty. At 1.72 carats this oval cabochon carries a presence that is instantly perceptible, a scale of size that elevates it above the common and places it squarely among premium offerings. The weight in carats is not merely a number, it is a declaration of substance and value, and in this gem the 1.72 carat count yields a satisfying heft and visual importance while remaining eminently wearable. The translucent body of the stone allows light to sweep through the surface and to linger within, revealing a layered yellowish green tone of medium intensity that is at once fresh and refined. Finished with an excellent polish the gem presents a silky surface that catches light with a soft, reflective glow, a quiet luminosity that rewards close inspection and careful admiration.

Measured with exacting care at 6.77 x 6.32 x 4.32 mm, the oval proportions of this chrysoberyl are classic and versatile, a shape that flatters both modern and traditional settings. The cabochon cut has been executed to enhance the gem character, smoothing the plane into a gentle dome that enriches color depth and emphasizes the stone inherent translucence. Clarity is assessed as very very slightly included at eye level, a clarity grade that conveys exceptional purity to the naked eye while preserving the natural internal features that authenticate a genuine, untreated specimen. No enhancement has been applied to this chrysoberyl, an assurance that its color, tone, and polish derive entirely from natural formation and skilled cutting. The origin of this fine gem is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing chrysoberyls of distinction, and this provenance adds a layer of pedigree that discerning collectors will recognize and appreciate.

Owning a 1.72 carat chrysoberyl of this quality is an achievement, a refinement of taste that signals an understanding of true rarity rather than fashion. Carat weight translates directly into presence, and on the finger or in a pendant this stone conveys an assertive elegance without shouting. The cabochon surface invites touch, the smooth dome fitting naturally beneath the fingertips and catching ambient light to create a living interplay of sheen and depth. The medium color intensity offers versatility, pairing beautifully with warm metals for a richer effect and with cool metals for a contemporary contrast, making it a gemstone that flexes with personal style. Because it is unenhanced and possesses an excellent polish, the gem retains a natural honesty combined with a refined finish, a combination that appeals to connoisseurs who seek both authenticity and perfection.
