0.60 Ct. Topaz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the folded hills and ancient soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka comes a story that begins with the earth and ends at your finger. Miners working family claims and small scale cutters carry on techniques handed down through generations, turning rough stones from riverbeds and veins into pieces that reflect the island light. This 0.60 carat blue topaz began as a rough crystal found in these storied terrains, and it has traveled with care from the mine to the cutter to our workshop. At each step the gem was evaluated for its inherent transparency and potential for cutting, and its journey was guided by an eye for proportion and a respect for the stone that produced its clear cool blue. The Natural Gemstone Company takes pride in sourcing from Ceylon because the name carries a legacy of gemstones prized for their clarity and tone, and because these origins add a sense of provenance that becomes part of the jewelry you will wear.

The gem that emerges from that journey is a transparent blue topaz weighing 0.60 carat, cut in an elegant emerald cut, with dimensions of 6.01 x 4.02 x 2.72 mm. It shows a medium light color intensity that captures a serene blue, and it has been evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, a grade that speaks to near clarity while still keeping the character of a natural stone. The cut is precise, with an excellent polish that allows light to travel cleanly through the stone, revealing its internal geometry and the soft reflective flashes that topaz is loved for. The color enhancement that gives this gem its vivid blue is achieved through irradiation, a common and stable method used in the trade to produce consistently pleasing hues. We describe this treatment openly so you can understand the care and science involved in bringing this topaz to its most beautiful expression, and so you may plan your jewelry with complete confidence in the stone s stability and longevity.

What makes this particular blue topaz especially suited for custom jewelry is its combination of size and shape, and the way the emerald cut translates bulk into refined presence. At 6.01 x 4.02 x 2.72 mm the stone sits in a sweet spot where it is large enough to register as the centerpiece in a ring or pendant, and compact enough to be set as a refined stud or an elegant accent in a multi stone design. The emerald cut emphasizes the stone s table face and step facets, offering a broad table that showcases the clarity and the clean color window of the topaz. This geometry is ideal when you want a gem that reads larger than its carat weight through face up appeal, and for designs that favor linear grace over fiery dispersion. The dimensions are perfect for bespoke engagement styles that lean classic, for modern stackable rings that require precise proportion, and for drop pendants where the length and width will align beautifully with metalwork. Because the stone has excellent polish and a high level of transparency, it accepts light in a way that suits both simple solitaires and more intricate halo or channel settings, and it will sit confidently in platinum, white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold depending on the mood you wish to evoke.

When you commission a piece using this blue topaz from The Natural Gemstone Company you are continuing the stone s narrative in your own life, turning geological time and human care into a personal talisman. Imagine the cool blue catching morning light in a bezel set pendant, or the clean architectural lines enhanced by a four prong setting on a ring, or the piece of jewelry that finds balance by pairing this emerald cut stone with small round diamonds to add whispering contrast. Our team can advise on setting depth and seat angles that respect the 2.72 mm depth, ensuring the stone is secure while allowing the table and step facets to remain the focal point. We will provide provenance notes about the stone s Ceylon origin, documentation about the irradiation enhancement, and guidance on metal choices that harmonize with the medium light color intensity. If you want a bespoke design that reflects personal symbolism or cultural meanings, we can translate motifs into metal and setting choices so that the finished jewel holds both aesthetic balance and emotional resonance.
