2.45 Ct. Topaz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine slipping into a moment that feels like the first clear breath after a storm, a memory that settles into the heart and keeps shining. This is the feeling gifted by the 2.45 carat cushion shaped sky blue topaz from The Natural Gemstone Company, a stone that seems to hold a slice of open sky and the calm of a tranquil sea. Transparent and luminous, the gem measures 8.23 by 8.02 by 5.18 millimeters, and it is cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and fire. Its clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, ensuring that its surface reads as clean and almost flawless to the naked eye, while its excellent polish lets light travel through every facet and return in soft, dancing flashes. This topaz carries a medium color intensity achieved through careful irradiation enhancement, and its origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka brings the romance of a storied gemstone history to your jewelry design. Hold it for a moment and you feel the immediate pleasure of something beautiful and rare, a piece that will shape the story of the moments it accompanies.

When set in jewelry the cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut of this sky blue topaz offer a unique play of light that can be tailored to the emotions you want to express. In a solitaire ring the gem commands attention, creating an intimate conversation between wearer and stone, perfect for a milestone gift or a promise made with quiet certainty. In a halo setting the blue deepens visually and the surrounding diamonds or contrasting gems add a halo of commitment that feels both celebratory and timeless. For a pendant the gentle, calm blue swings close to the heart, a daily reminder of love and serenity, and in earrings the gem brightens every smile with a cool, joyful sparkle. The medium intensity of the blue lends versatility, so you can choose settings in white gold or platinum for an icy, modern elegance, yellow gold for a warm, vintage inspired glow, or rose gold for a romantic, sunset like embrace that softens the blue into something more intimate. Each metal frames the color differently, and each choice changes how that color speaks to the people around you.

The true magic of this sky blue topaz is how its color harmonizes with skin tones to create moments of pure delight. On fair complexions with cool undertones the stone reads as crisp and fresh, evoking clarity and the bright joy of new beginnings, especially when paired with white metals that emphasize the gem's airy blue. On fair complexions with warm undertones setting the topaz in yellow gold or rose gold warms the overall look and gives a nostalgic, heirloom feeling while still preserving that uplifting blue presence. For medium or olive tones the stone provides a luminous contrast, bringing out golden flecks in the skin and creating an elegant balance that feels natural and effortless, particularly when set in mixed metal designs that echo both warm and cool elements. On deeper skin tones the sky blue becomes strikingly vivid, a joyful, radiant focal point that sings against rich color and creates a look of confident beauty, with white gold or platinum settings offering a luminous pop and yellow gold delivering a sumptuous and regal contrast. No matter the tone, the cushion cut and excellent polish ensure the light catches just so, creating instant smiles and lasting memories. Let The Natural Gemstone Company help you turn this Sri Lankan treasure into a cherished symbol of love, an anniversary surprise that says forever, or an everyday talisman that brings a little sky to every moment.
