1.31 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Topaz Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Born in the storied gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, these two blue topaz gems began life as river worn crystals carrying the quiet history of their place of origin, the larger weighing 0.71 carats and the smaller 0.60 carats, each carefully fashioned into a classic emerald cut that reveals clarity and calm color with every facet. The larger measures 6.05 x 4.08 x 2.75 mm, and the smaller measures 5.94 x 4.09 x 3.05 mm, both showing transparent clarity and a medium light blue intensity that evokes coastal sky. At eye level they are graded very very slightly included, a grade that speaks to natural character rather than distraction, and they have been given an excellent polish that allows light to glide over each table and step facet. These stones were enhanced by irradiation to deepen and stabilize their blue hue, a well established treatment for topaz that experienced cutters and gemologists accept as stable and enduring, the result is a pure and even blue suited to fine jewelry.

On the Mohs hardness scale topaz registers an 8, placing it above common gemstones such as quartz which is 7, and just below corundum which is 9, this ranking means these topaz gems offer substantial durability for everyday wear while still benefiting from sensible care and thoughtful setting. The emerald cut itself helps protect the stone because its broad facets and step lines distribute stress and conceal minor inclusions, making these gems ideal for rings pendants and earrings when mounted with secure settings. From the riverbeds of Ceylon to the cutter s bench each stone passed through hands that weighed color against clarity and brilliance, craftsmen chose the emerald cut to honor the gem s inherent transparency and to allow a serene play of light. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this pair as a matched set that connects wearer and place, a piece that carries both geological time and human artistry.
