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

This matched pair of transparent blue topaz specimens combines precise cutting, measured proportions, and Sri Lankan provenance to present a refined option for collectors and fine jewelry designers. The pair consists of 0.66 carat and 0.75 carat stones, each fashioned in the emerald cut shape, with dimensions of 6.02 by 4.05 by 3.04 millimeters and 6.00 by 4.01 by 2.84 millimeters respectively. Both stones exhibit medium light color intensity, imparting a clear, cool blue that remains versatile for a variety of settings. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a grade that is particularly well suited to the step cut style because the minimal inclusions do not interrupt the visual planes and instead serve to confirm the natural character of the gem. Enhancement by irradiation is disclosed, a common and stable treatment used to achieve the attractive blue hue in topaz, and the origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region with a long history of producing quality colored gemstones. The transparency of these stones is notable, allowing for unhindered light passage and an even distribution of color across each table.

The cutting and finishing of these topaz pairings are the most defining qualities of the offering, and they are executed to emphasize clarity and reflective surfaces. The emerald cut is a step cut that relies on long, parallel facets and broad facet planes to produce large flashes of light and a controlled luster rather than the scintillation typical of brilliant cuts. In this instance the faceting exhibits excellent symmetry and proportion, and the polish is graded excellent, resulting in a highly reflective surface and crisp facet junctions. These attributes enhance perceived brilliance, creating broad, mirror like reflections and a refined play of light that reads as clean and architectural in appearance. The combination of very slightly included clarity and the step facet design creates a window like effect that showcases internal transparency and color uniformity, allowing the eye to appreciate the stones as centerpiece elements in a composition. The closely matched dimensions and weights further contribute to a harmonious pairing, with equivalent color intensity and polish ensuring that when set side by side the stones present as a coordinated unit.

Beyond optical performance, these topaz specimens offer practical considerations that support their use as central stones in rings, pendants, or matched earrings. Blue topaz has a Mohs hardness rating that affords good resistance to everyday wear, and the emerald cut profile presents a stable outline that is compatible with a variety of mounting styles that protect corners and maintain the clarity view. The disclosed irradiation enhancement produces a stable color that is not prone to fading under normal exposure, and standard gem care involving avoidance of harsh chemicals and high temperature shock will preserve polish and luster. For jewelry settings, the stones work particularly well in designs that favor clear sightlines to the table and structured metal work that complements the step facets, such as bezel edge mounts that protect girdles or prong settings that allow maximum light interaction. As a matched pair originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, they carry the provenance and visual consistency that many designers and collectors seek when assembling coordinated pieces or accentuating a single focal design.
