1.11 Ct. Topaz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a lineage to color that dates back through centuries, and this Swiss blue topaz carries that quiet nobility with ease. We present a transparent 1.11 carat emerald cut Swiss blue topaz, with dimensions of 8.04 x 4.96 x 3.14 mm, a medium intense tone that evokes the clear shallows of an island lagoon. Cut into a classic emerald shape, the stone offers restrained geometry, elongated step facets, and an elegant table that honors old world preferences for proportion and symmetry. From its origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka to its careful finishing at The Natural Gemstone Company, this gem has been treated with irradiation, a time tested enhancement that deepens the blue while preserving the natural crystalline character. The excellent polish amplifies a serene, mirror like lustre, and the overall presentation reflects a design vocabulary that has been favored by connoisseurs for generations, a vocabulary that prizes clarity of line, purity of tone, and a steadfast, wearable beauty.

The soul of this topaz resides in the fine inclusions that give it an unmistakable signature, those internal prints that tell a geological story. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the stone shows delicate linear features and micro crystallites that thread through the body of the gem like silver filaments in silk. These slender, needle like growth tubes and tiny reflective particulates catch the light in a way that complements the emerald cut, creating faint ribbons of brightness along the facet planes. There are also soft wisps and minute planar interruptions that read as delicate highlights when the gem is viewed face up or tilted, a subtle map of its formation conditions deep within the earth. Rather than detract, these inclusions act as a fingerprint, allowing the gem to project personality, authenticity, and provenance. Under the right light the inclusions generate a layered scintillation, an inner glow that does not compete with the pure Swiss blue, but that harmonizes with it, lending depth to color and a sense of lived history to an otherwise pristine surface.

This topaz is well suited to those who value continuity, something that can be worn today and handed down tomorrow without losing dignity or allure. The emerald cut encourages settings that celebrate clarity and geometry, a single bezel or four prong mount that protects the stone while placing its linear elegance at the center of attention. At 1.11 carats and with the gentle proportions of 8.04 x 4.96 x 3.14 mm, the gem is ideal for an understated engagement ring, a heritage inspired pendant, or a classic cocktail piece that honors restraint over excess. The medium intense color offers adaptability, pairing gracefully with white metals and yellow gold alike, while the very very slightly included clarity ensures that every facet reflects a story. At The Natural Gemstone Company we believe that gemstones with visible character become anchors for memories, and this Swiss blue topaz, with its history, craftsmanship, and unmistakable inclusion signature, is prepared to enter a new chapter of wear and meaning. For collectors and admirers who seek both tradition and individuality, this gem offers the rare balance of archival elegance and a personal, geological signature.
