1.72 Ct. Topaz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a sky blue gem that reads as refined and wearable for an engagement ring, yet rare enough for a collector to treasure, this transparent 1.72 carat emerald cut sky blue topaz answers that need with quiet confidence. Measuring 7.95 by 5.97 by 4.13 mm, with an emerald cut and excellent polish, it delivers crisp step facets and elegant symmetry that flatter both simple and intricate settings. The clarity is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, so the stone reads clean and luminous to the naked eye, and the very light color intensity gives a delicate, airy blue that sits beautifully against both warm and cool metals. Enhanced by irradiation, this Ceylon Sri Lanka topaz offers the dependable stability of a treated topaz with the refined feel of a gem that was cut to maximize its transparency and light return.

When you compare its hue and tone to gemstones from other famous locations, the distinctions become a key part of its charm. Compared to Santa Maria aquamarines from Brazil, which tend toward a deeper, greener blue, this Ceylon sky blue topaz is paler and purer in its sky like quality, offering a softer, more pastel expression. Compared to Swiss blue or London blue topaz, which are known for their brighter or deeper saturated blues respectively, this stone sits in a lighter bracket, with a cooler, more ethereal tone rather than an intense or velvety one. Compared to Paraiba tourmaline from Brazil, which glows with neon teal saturation, and compared to classic Ceylon sapphires which often show cornflower depth and velvety tone, this topaz reads as crystalline and transparent, emphasizing clarity and light over depth and saturation. If your ideal is a gemstone that suggests sky at noon rather than ocean depth or electric glow, this topaz is the perfect solution. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this gem as a refined option for someone who wants timeless elegance, a versatile light blue that complements many designs, and a rare Ceylon provenance that stands apart from more commonly sourced blue topaz.
