3.90 Ct. Topaz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present a stone that speaks to centuries of gem lore and the enduring appeal of classical forms, a transparent 3.90 carat marquise Swiss blue topaz from Ceylon Sri Lanka that evokes the navette shapes favored by royalty through the ages. Measuring 14.96 by 7.01 by 5.28 mm, this topaz is cut in a mixed brilliant style that bridges old world elegance and modern optical precision, offering intense color intensity and an excellent polish that amplifies its inner fire. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a level of clarity that rewards the connoisseur with an open window into the gem rather than hidden veils. This topaz has been enhanced by irradiation to achieve its vivid Swiss blue hue, a practice long established in the trade to reveal the most desirable shades while maintaining the natural structure of the stone. The result is a gem that carries the heritage of Sri Lankan gem cutting and the timelessness of classical marquise design, a piece built to become a family heirloom.

When compared to more common blue gemstones this Swiss blue topaz stands apart for the way it combines color and light, the slightly higher refractive properties of topaz when harnessed by a mixed brilliant cut translate into crisp flashes and lively scintillation that often outshine aquamarine in apparent brilliance, while remaining more vibrant and consistently blue than many commercial blue zircons and treated beryls. Unlike deep blue sapphire where color saturation can sometimes mute sparkle, this topaz balances an electric clarity and an intense, uniform color that reads as luminous on the finger or in the setting. Its excellent polish and transparent, very very slightly included clarity maximize light return, giving faceted surfaces a lively return that makes the stone read larger and more dynamic than its carat weight might suggest. For those who value tradition and legacy yet seek a gem with modern presence, this marquise Swiss blue topaz from The Natural Gemstone Company offers a rare combination of historical resonance and unmistakable visual brilliance.
