2.63 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

When you are searching for a rare center stone that ends the quest for beauty and individuality, this cushion shaped green chrysoberyl answers that call. This gem weighs 2.63 carat, and measures 8.67 by 6.57 by 4.92 millimeters, offering a satisfying face up presence that reads elegant without overwhelming the hand. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to balance scintillation and depth, allowing flashes of light to play through the pavilion while preserving the soft green hue that makes chrysoberyl so desirable. Clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the excellent polish gives each facet crisp reflections and clean outlines. Color intensity is medium light, a versatile green that reads fresh and sophisticated under warm and cool lighting. There are no enhancements, and this gem hails from Tanzania, a provenance that adds to its appeal for collectors and for anyone who values natural origin and honest presentation. At The Natural Gemstone Company we source stones that speak to a story, and this chrysoberyl speaks to refinement and everyday luxury.

If your need is an engagement ring that feels singular, a cocktail ring for dramatic evenings, or a pendant that rests close to the heart, this chrysoberyl can be customized to fulfill that purpose. The cushion outline and rectangular proportions are forgiving in many settings, and the 8.67 by 6.57 millimeter table size fits comfortably into standard ring heads and bespoke mountings. For an engagement ring we recommend a four prong or six prong crown to showcase the pavilion and to allow light circulation, or a halo of fine white diamonds to intensify the green and increase perceived size. For a modern statement, a minimal bezel will highlight the stone while providing protection, and a low profile bezel or partially bezelled mounting works well for those who lead an active life. A three stone layout with tapered side diamonds or colored sapphires will add narrative and color contrast, while a split shank or cathedral setting will lend architectural drama. As a pendant a simple solitaire bail or an open back halo will show the stone to best advantage. The green tone is uniquely adaptable to metals, so you may choose yellow gold to warm and deepen the hue, rose gold for a romantic contrast, or white gold and platinum for a contemporary cool palette. If you prefer avant garde design, an east west orientation or a tension inspired mounting will give the piece modern movement. Because this is a single well cut gemstone, it is also an ideal candidate for a bespoke heirloom, where The Natural Gemstone Company can assist in translating a family idea into a finished piece.

Beyond design choices, you will appreciate the practical benefits of chrysoberyl for everyday wear and for long term enjoyment. Chrysoberyl ranks high on the hardness scale, making it resilient to accidental knocks and suitable for a wedding ring worn daily. The excellent polish and lack of enhancement preserve natural brightness and make maintenance simple with gentle cleaning and routine inspections. The origin notes from Tanzania provide provenance that collectors respect, and The Natural Gemstone Company can arrange independent valuation or gemological documentation upon request to support insurance and provenance needs. We offer personalized design consultations, CAD previews, and recommendations for setting profiles and secure prong placements that protect the stone without hiding its personality. Our workshop can coordinate side stones, metal choices, engraving, and final finishing, all tailored to the life you imagine for this jewel. If your search is for the perfect engagement center stone, a unique collector gem, or the basis for a custom designed piece that will become a story passed along, contact The Natural Gemstone Company to begin the design conversation, because this cushion green chrysoberyl is the kind of find that brings the search to a graceful and confident close.
