2.03 Ct. Green Cabochon Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent oval cabochon chrysoberyl weighs 2.03 carats, with dimensions of 6.91 by 6.37 by 4.38 millimeters, sourced from the storied gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company. Its surface displays an impeccable polish and an eye clean clarity grade, evaluated at eye level, revealing an intense green tone that moves from a soft apple green to a slightly deeper olive depending on light and angle. Unheated and untreated, this stone is a rare natural example of chrysoberyl cabochon art, cut to maximize its chatoyancy. A crisp, well defined band of light traverses the dome like a razor of moonlight, producing a classical Cat s Eye effect that sharpens on direct illumination and glides across the surface as the stone is turned. That visible band reads as both a signature of origin and a testament to the cutter s skill, creating a living presence that seems to watch and respond to every change in light.

For a bespoke commission this gem functions as a solitary star at the center of an artisanal creation, or as the focal node in a refined cluster. Set in warm 18 carat yellow gold, the green tones become richer, while a rose gold setting will introduce a soft, intimate warmth that plays beautifully with the stone s glow. For a cooler, elegant contrast consider a platinum mount which will make the cat s eye band appear especially bright and spectral. Surround the cabochon with a halo of small white diamonds or with champagne diamonds for a vintage yet exclusive feel, or flank it with matched baguette cut side stones to lend architectural balance while keeping attention on the moving light. For color contrast and luxury pairing, small natural sapphire accents in pale tea or pastel peach create a modern, elevated palette, and pairs of tiny tsavorite garnets can intensify the green story. This piece is ideal as a one of a kind ring or a pendant where the axis of the band is aligned with the chatoyancy to ensure the band reads as a dramatic linear feature in everyday wear. As with all rare offerings from The Natural Gemstone Company this chrysoberyl is available only in limited quantity, and we welcome inquiries for bespoke design to ensure the final piece becomes a personal emblem of exclusivity and refined taste.
