1.75 Ct. Yellow Cabochon Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.75 carat yellow citrine, precisely measured at 9.09 x 7.12 x 3.77 mm, has been executed as an oval cabochon rather than a faceted stone, a deliberate choice that emphasizes tone and internal clarity over brilliance and scintillation. The cabochon dome height of 3.77 mm corresponds to approximately 41.5 percent of the stone length, yielding a medium to high dome that presents a substantial visual depth without excessive bulk for wearable jewelry. As a cabochon, the cutting strategy focused on achieving a symmetrical profile and even curvature, using progressive grinding stages and a final fine polish with cerium oxide to deliver an excellent surface finish. Clarity is graded eye clean at standard viewing distance, indicating no inclusions visible to the unaided eye, which combined with the stone s transparency results in a clean, pure appearance through the dome. Color intensity is described as light, a pale golden yellow that remains evenly distributed across the table, and the specimen is unenhanced, confirming the natural color and internal character have not been altered by irradiation or heat treatment.

The stated origin of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, contributes materially to the gem s provenance value, Sri Lanka s pegmatitic and hydrothermal geological environment is known for producing quartz group gemstones with favorable crystal habit and low inclusion densities, a reputation that enhances market perception and collector demand. Provenance from Ceylon also implies access to longstanding local lapidary expertise, which in this instance is evident in the precise cabochon shaping and superior polish, attributes that reduce the need for additional treatment and support long-term durability in settings. For design considerations, the oval cabochon profile and light warm hue are particularly well suited to bezel or collet mountings in yellow or rose gold, where the metal tone complements the citrine s color and the smooth dome reads crisply against a polished metal rim.
