2.11 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite brownish yellow chrysoberyl from Ceylon Sri Lanka captures a lineage that stretches back through centuries of gem lore, making it an emblem of timeless taste and refined tradition. We present a transparent 2.11 carat round gem, fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that echoes classic cutting techniques used to maximize fire and brilliance through the ages. The warm, medium intense color intensity of this stone evokes sun warmed honey, a hue that has been favored by connoisseurs of traditional jewelry since antiquity, and its dimensions of 7.19 x 7.23 x 4.74 mm make it ideal for a variety of classical settings. At The Natural Gemstone Company we celebrate both the provenance and character of stones that carry history within their facets, and this chrysoberyl, with no enhancement and natural origin, speaks to collectors who appreciate authenticity, well preserved tradition, and enduring beauty.

Closer inspection reveals an excellent polish and a clarity grade described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, attributes that reflect meticulous lapidary work and the superior natural quality of Sri Lankan chrysoberyl. The mixed brilliant cut blends the disciplined geometry of brilliants with a thoughtful pavilion design to return light with a lively scintillation, a communication of light and depth that has defined heirloom gems for generations. The eye level clarity permits a clear and luminous table view while retaining the subtle inclusions that authenticate a natural gem, and the excellent polish further enhances the surface reflection and tactile elegance that make this gem so compelling for classic jewelry. Because it is a natural chrysoberyl with no enhancement, this stone carries the kind of provenance that collectors and traditionalists value, a gem that can be set with confidence into period inspired rings, pendants, and signet style creations that honor the past while remaining eminently wearable today.

Durability is central to the appeal of chrysoberyl as a gem for daily wear, and this 2.11 carat stone exemplifies the practical strength that has made chrysoberyl a favored treasure in historic signet rings and everyday amulets. Chrysoberyl rates high on the Mohs scale, making it resistant to scratches from ordinary contact and well suited to ring settings that see frequent use, and its robust crystal structure gives it a toughness that withstands the demands of modern life better than many other colored gemstones. The excellent polish and precise cut contribute to longevity by minimizing rough edges that can chip, and the fact that it is unenhanced assures stability of color and structure over time. For those seeking a gem that combines classical lineage, museum worthy presence, and practical resilience, this Ceylon chrysoberyl offers a rare harmony, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it as a piece that will gracefully accompany daily rituals for years, and that can be entrusted to future generations as a true heirloom.
