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

This exquisite matched pair from The Natural Gemstone Company presents transparent blue topaz, weighing 1.41 carats and 1.32 carats respectively, each fashioned in an emerald cut shape with a checkerboard facet arrangement. The larger measures 6.89 x 4.94 x 3.94 millimeters, the smaller measures 6.95 x 5.05 x 4.27 millimeters, and both show a medium color intensity that reads as a clear, inviting blue. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stones appear clean and luminous to the naked eye, and the excellent polish enhances every mirror like facet. These stones have been enhanced by irradiation to achieve their stable blue hue, and they originate in Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for fine gemstones. For someone searching for the ideal pairing for an engagement set, a delicate pendant, or an heirloom piece for a collector, this pair resolves the search by offering balanced size, consistent tone, and a refined cut that sits beautifully in matched settings.

When comparing brilliance and reflection to other popular gem species, blue topaz stands apart in its own way, offering bright, crisp flashes that differ from the high fire of diamond and the deep, velvety glow of sapphire. Topaz has a lower refractive index than diamond, so it does not produce the same level of spectral fire, yet the checkerboard cutting and excellent polish of these stones maximize surface return and lively scintillation, creating a compelling visual presence under daylight and artificial light. Compared to aquamarine, which often presents a softer, more pastel appearance, this medium intensity topaz reads as more vibrant and reflective, with facets that catch light more readily. Against sapphire, which typically shows greater color saturation and depth, these topaz gems offer a lighter, airier brilliance and a sparkle that feels more lively on the surface, which many buyers find ideal for daytime wear or for designs where brightness and clarity are priorities. For clients who want a stone that balances everyday wearability with visual impact, this Ceylon blue topaz pair from The Natural Gemstone Company offers a smart, elegant solution, and our team is ready to help recommend settings that will showcase their checkerboard reflections to best effect.
