1.72 Ct. Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we are proud to present a truly magnificent gemstone that stands as a testament to the enduring beauty and timeless elegance of nature’s creations. Our featured piece is a stunning transparent 1.72 carat yellow citrine, expertly fashioned into an exquisite emerald cut shape. This gemstone, hailing from the renowned mines of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), is a splendid blend of history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty that makes it an exceptional choice for an educated buyer seeking a generational heirloom piece.

Citrine is revered not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its fascinating provenance. The origin of our citrine is Ceylon, a region synonymous with high-quality gemstones due to its rich geological diversity and skilled artisanal cutting. Ceylonese citrines are renowned for their vibrant color and robustness, qualities that manifest beautifully in this particular stone. The medium color intensity offers a soft, inviting hue that is neither overly saturated nor pale, offering instead the perfect balance that accentuates the stone’s natural allure. Citrine’s heritage as a symbol of abundance and energy, coupled with its natural origin from such a prestigious locale, underscores its place as a coveted treasure.

The gemstone’s excellent polish adds another layer of sophistication, ensuring that light transverses each facet with maximum potential. Such clarity and precision in cutting are indicative of superior craftsmanship. Despite a very slightly included clarity grade, the gemstone carries an allure that is unsullied to the untrained eye. The slight inclusions are essentially minute timestamps, telling a story of its natural formation process deep within the earth. Such characteristics are not detriments but rather authentic declarations of the citrine’s natural origin and purity, enhancing its authenticity and appeal.

Furthermore, the emerald cut of this citrine is not merely a stylistic choice but a sophisticated design technique selected to emphasize the stone’s clarity and luster. This particular cut is renowned for creating large, open facets, which bestow a majestic brilliance uncommon to other shapes. The dimensions of 7.96 x 6.09 x 4.30 mm offer a substantial presence on any piece of jewelry without overpowering other elements, enabling it to either step into the spotlight as a focal piece or complement the subtleties of a more intricate design. The adaptability in setting enhances the citrine’s versatility, rendering it ideal for transforming family jewels or crafting original masterpieces that can be passed down through generations.

The Natural Gemstone Company is committed to providing gems that not only captivate the eye but imbed deeper stories of geological wonder and artisanal genius. Our 1.72 carat emerald cut yellow citrine is a harmonious blend of these attributes, making it not merely a purchase but an investment in legacy. This gemstone promises longevity, both in durability and in its story, enduring as a treasure to be admired by lifetimes, transcending temporary fashions and pleasing discerning buyers with its immaculate combination of heritage, rarity, and refined beauty. By acquiring this exquisite citrine, you are choosing a piece that will not only hold its value but could also increment with each chapter it witnesses in your family’s history.
