2.19 Ct. Greenish Yellow Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One translucent oval chrysoberyl, weight 2.19 carat, dimensions 7.50 x 6.68 x 4.72 mm, cabochon cut, color greenish yellow, color intensity medium, clarity very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, polish excellent, enhancement none, origin Ceylon Sri Lanka. The cabochon form presents a smooth domed profile and even surface reflection, with translucency that allows soft diffusion of light through the body of the stone. The stone is well proportioned for a cabochon oval of its class, and the moderate depth of 4.72 mm contributes to stability in mounting while preserving a comfortable overall height for wearable designs. These measured attributes form the basis for thoughtful customization into rings, pendants, earrings, and other wearable or decorative settings.

The cabochon cut and excellent polish make this chrysoberyl particularly well suited to settings that emphasize surface luster and interior glow, rather than faceted brilliance. Bezel settings are a natural match, providing a secure metal rim that follows the oval contour, protecting the girdle and edge while framing the soft greenish yellow hue. An open back or gallery aperture can be incorporated where light transmission is desired, enhancing perceived color and translucency, or a closed back in a matching metal can create a warmer, more saturated appearance. For designers seeking a modern look, low profile bezels and tapered shoulders allow the stone to sit close to the finger or chain, while high bezel cups create a more pronounced cabochon dome that reads as a focal point. Prong mounts may be used for minimalist designs when combined with partial bezel support to protect the cabochon edge, and custom cups or seats milled to the stone dimensions will ensure a precise, vibration free fit.

The oval outline and modest 7.50 by 6.68 mm face make this chrysoberyl versatile across multiple jewelry types and styles, from refined everyday rings to delicate stud earrings and pendants designed for layering. In a ring, orienting the oval lengthwise along the finger tends to elongate the hand, while a transverse setting offers a contemporary silhouette. For pendants, a vertical orientation with an open gallery and a subtle bail will showcase the translucency against the skin, and matching or mirrored pairs can create elegant earrings. The color palette of greenish yellow pairs well with a variety of metals, yellow gold bringing warmth and continuity to the yellow component, rose gold adding a subtle contrast that emphasizes the green, and white gold or platinum providing a crisp, modern backdrop. Accents may include small white diamonds to increase contrast and perceived brightness, green garnets or peridots to enrich the green tones, or warm yellow sapphires and citrines to reinforce the yellow component. The stone is also suitable for men’s accessories such as cufflinks or signets where a cabochon expresses understated refinement.

From a technical and care perspective, chrysoberyl has a hardness that supports regular wear, yet the cabochon surface and edges benefit from protective design choices to minimize impact and abrasion. For rings expected to receive daily use, a full bezel or partial bezel with guard prongs is recommended to shield the perimeter, while pendants and earrings can be slightly more open provided the bezel retains a snug seat. The 4.72 mm depth should be taken into account when designing the setting cup and shank profile, to ensure the finished piece sits comfortably and maintains structural integrity, and to avoid unnecessarily high settings that may catch on clothing. When setting the stone, precise measurement and a tailored seat are important to prevent movement, and experienced setters will account for the cabochon’s dome when choosing bezel height and inward lip. Cleaning and maintenance are straightforward, warm soapy water and a soft brush are usually sufficient, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning when inclusions are present, and routine inspection of the mounting is recommended to ensure continued security.
