1.72 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a singular gem that balances rarity, wearability, and sculptural beauty, this translucent 1.72 carat oval chrysoberyl from Ceylon is an exceptional answer, and it may be exactly what you have been looking for. The stone measures 6.77 x 6.32 x 4.32 mm, it is cut as a smooth cabochon to accentuate its silky surface, and it presents a pleasing yellowish green hue with medium color intensity that reads fresh and sophisticated in a variety of settings. At eye level the clarity is described as very very slightly included, which means the gem appears clean to the unaided eye while still retaining natural character and provenance. The polish is excellent, and the gem is completely natural with no enhancement, a combination that appeals to collectors and to buyers who desire an authentic gemstone that will retain its value and personality over time. Visually the cabochon form brings forward a soft glow and a subtle chatoyancy that creates an elegant band of light across the dome when viewed in reflected light, a feature that gives the stone an almost living presence and makes it stand out in both classic and contemporary jewelry designs.

For someone planning an engagement ring, a statement piece, or a curated gemstone collection, this chrysoberyl answers multiple needs at once, offering durability, charm, and a story. Chrysoberyl is known for its toughness and resistance to daily wear, making this cabochon a practical choice for a ring or a frequently worn pendant, and its compact 1.72 carat weight is ideal for a center stone that is noticeable without overwhelming the design. The oval cabochon silhouette lends itself to bespoke settings where the stone can be framed by simple metalwork to emphasize its color, or paired with accent diamonds or colored gemstones to create contrast and modern elegance. For collectors who seek gems with verified origin and natural state, this piece from Ceylon provides the provenance and unenhanced integrity that elevate a specimen from pretty to collectible. In hand the stone shows a calm translucency and a pleasing surface depth that plays beautifully under different lighting, which means it will reveal new subtleties as the wearer moves through daylight and evening light.
