1.88 Ct. Sinhalite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Sinhalite carries with it the quiet dignity of islands and old trade routes, a gemstone whose very name evokes the storied shores of Ceylon. This yellow sinhalite is a study in restrained elegance, its asscher octagon shape recalling the refined geometry of Art Deco classics and the measured hand of traditional lapidaries. At 1.88 carats this gem has the balanced heft to command attention while remaining exquisitely wearable. The transparent body of the stone allows an unimpeded view into its internal architecture, where step facets create a subtle and sophisticated play of light. Connoisseurs who prize pieces with provenance and story will appreciate that this sinhalite was sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a place long associated with the world s most treasured gems. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this example reads as both an heirloom and a contemporary statement, a timeless addition that will anchor any serious gemstone collection.

The gem s proportions are meticulous, with dimensions of 7.35 x 6.86 x 4.58 mm that give it a generous face up presence without sacrificing elegance. The asscher cut magnifies depth and symmetry, producing the hallmark concentric pattern of steps that draw the eye inward and then outward with each subtle turn. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a condition that allows the stone to remain predominantly pure in appearance while bearing the gentle markers of natural formation. Its medium color intensity delivers a warm, sophisticated yellow that is neither loud nor mute, and its excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and a clean, reflective surface. There are no enhancements, a key attribute for collectors who demand authenticity. The combination of natural origin, careful cutting, and untouched clarity makes this sinhalite an exemplar of discreet luxury.

For the discerning collector this yellow sinhalite is more than a single jewel, it is a legacy piece destined to be set, kept, and passed on. Its asscher octagon form lends itself to a variety of settings from a secure bezel that emphasizes the gem s geometric purity to a classic four prong mounting that showcases its luminous face. Paired with warm metals such as yellow gold or rose gold the stone s tone will sing, while a thoughtful contrast with white gold or platinum will accentuate its inner fire and structural symmetry. Beyond aesthetics, the stone represents the assured satisfaction of acquiring a gem that is natural, untreated, and expertly finished. At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate pieces for collectors who value history as much as rarity, and this sinhalite embodies those ideals. Its provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka coupled with its immaculate presentation makes it a prudent choice for those building a high end collection that will endure through generations.

Care for this sinhalite should mirror the respect one affords any prized treasure, with gentle cleaning by warm soapy water and a soft brush, and avoidance of harsh chemicals or sudden temperature changes. When set in jewelry treat the mounting with the same consideration given to its owner, and consult a trusted jeweler for periodic checks to preserve its condition. This 1.88 carat asscher octagon yellow sinhalite stands as a quiet ambassador of time honored beauty, a gem whose lines and light speak to both past and future.
