3.62 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

For centuries gemstones from Ceylon have carried with them a sense of legend and lineage, a quiet testament to the hands and hearts that have treasured them across generations. This green chrysoberyl continues that tradition, a gem that speaks of ancient mines, meticulous cutting, and patient polishing. Chrysoberyl has long been admired by connoisseurs for its lively brilliance and steadfast durability, qualities that made it a favorite among collectors and jewelers who sought stones that could withstand daily wear while retaining a noble presence. The piece you see here is more than a pretty stone, it is a piece of that long story, ready to begin a new chapter as an emblem of commitment and continuity in an engagement setting.

This particular example is a translucent green chrysoberyl weighing 3.62 carat, cut into an elegant oval form with dimensions of 9.41 by 7.64 by 5.13 mm. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant approach to blending the lively flashes of faceted brilliance with a classic oval silhouette, producing scintillation that dances as the hand moves. At eye level the clarity reads very very slightly included, a grade that ensures transparency and sparkle while preserving natural character. The color intensity is intense, displaying a fresh green that is at once vivid and refined, a hue that flatters many skin tones and settings. The polish is excellent, giving the surface a mirror like finish that enhances light return and visual depth. Importantly this stone has received no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for producing chrysoberyl of notable color and quality.

When you consider a gemstone for an engagement ring, permanence and symbolism are as important as beauty, and chrysoberyl offers both. With a hardness that places it among the most durable gems suitable for daily wear, it resists scratches and maintains its polished face for years of close contact. The intense green color evokes renewal and growth, a meaningful palette for a promise that looks forward to shared seasons of life. The oval shape is a timeless classic, elongating the finger and providing a graceful profile that works beautifully in solitaire, halo, or cathedral settings. The mixed brilliant cut enhances fire and scintillation, giving the moment of proposal a lively sparkle under any light. The very very slightly included clarity reinforces authenticity, reminding the wearer that this is a natural treasure with character and provenance, not a mass produced imitation.
