This heart shaped chrysoberyl answers both needs with a blend of romantic form and technical excellence, a transparent 2.03 carat gem that measures 7.19 by 8.18 by 4.90 millimeters. Its yellowish brown tone carries an intense color intensity that reads as warm and radiant under daylight and lamp light alike, and the stone is offered with no enhancement, preserving the natural charm and provenance that collectors and brides alike value. Originating from the famed gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this chrysoberyl combines historical cachet with modern cutting artistry, and its very slightly included clarity grade as evaluated at eye level assures that what you will see is a clean, lively stone that sparkles when set and worn.

The mixed brilliant cut chosen for this heart shaped chrysoberyl is the key to how the gem communicates light, and the cut was executed to optimize both brilliance and scintillation while retaining the romantic outline of a heart. A mixed brilliant cut merges a faceted pavilion designed for maximum internal reflection with a crown layout that catches and disperses light back to the viewer. In this stone the crown facets have been balanced to produce strong flash and well timed scintillation, while the pavilion facets channel light in a manner that increases perceived depth and saturation of the yellowish brown hue. The heart outline introduces a subtle challenge because of the cleft at the top and the rounded lobes, and expert cutting ensures those areas receive proportionate facet planning so that light is not lost through narrow regions. The result is an even pattern of bright and dark facets across the table and crown, a lively play of light that alternates between fiery flashes and soft pools of color, making the stone appear both brilliant and warm from every viewing angle.

Beyond the interplay of facets, chrysoberyl as a species contributes significantly to the perceptual effect because of its optical properties and surface interaction. Chrysoberyl typically presents an adamantine to vitreous lustre, and combined with the excellent polish of this gem, every facet edge reflects crisp highlights that make the stone read as lively and luxurious. The stone shows excellent polish, which means light glides across facet planes without diffusion, enhancing both sparkle and mirror like reflections. The intense color intensity is enhanced by the mixed brilliant proportions, which prevent light leakage and help maintain color saturation even in candlelit settings. With a clarity grade of very slightly included at eye level, inclusions do not detract from the overall performance, and in many lighting situations they are masked by the gem s strong internal reflections, adding to a sense of natural character rather than distraction. The absence of enhancement assures that the color, clarity, and polish you see are intrinsic, and the Sri Lankan origin adds provenance that many collectors prize.

If you are looking for the perfect solution, this heart shaped chrysoberyl from The Natural Gemstone Company fits as a ready answer. Its 2.03 carat weight and near 8 by 7 millimeter footprint make it an ideal centerpiece for a ring that demands presence without excessive mass, or for a pendant that breathes both elegance and personality. The balance of intense color and high polish means the gem will wear well in daily settings, and the stone s durability as chrysoberyl ensures long term resilience compared with softer minerals. For those seeking a one of a kind engagement stone, the heart shape communicates a romantic intent while the mixed brilliant cut offers an unmistakable sparkle that rivals round brilliants in flash and outperforms many in color retention. For collectors, the combination of Ceylon origin, natural state without enhancement, and careful cutting produces a specimen that will sit proudly in a collection, worthy of closer study and admiration. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can advise on settings that protect the cleft and lobes of the heart, on metal choices that complement the warm yellowish brown, and on mounting styles that maximize the light return and visibility of the stone. Our goal is to ensure that your search ends here, with a gem that fulfills the emotional and practical criteria you value.
