5.21 Ct. Topaz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a sliver of the sky and sea together, a jewel that seems to hold a quiet promise of an unforgettable moment, a quiet promise that a life changing gift could arrive tucked into a small velvet box. This exquisite transparent 5.21 carat emerald cut greenish blue topaz invites that feeling, every facet catching light and returning it as a cool, crystalline glow. At 11.00 x 8.82 x 5.89 mm this stone wears its size with elegance, a presence that reads both bold and refined. The emerald cut gives it a sense of poised geometry, long step facets that create a hall of mirrors within the gem, emphasizing clarity and a serene depth of color. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish, the surface and interior present themselves with rare cleanliness, so that the eye travels through the color as if through still water. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka and enhanced by irradiation to reveal this superb greenish blue hue at a medium color intensity, this topaz is an invitation to a memory, whether it becomes the heart of an engagement ring, the focal point of an anniversary pendant, or the heirloom that will be passed with stories and smiles.

Rarity is where this gem truly becomes a storyteller, because few topaz specimens combine this size and this subtle greenish blue in such harmony. Topaz is celebrated in many colors, but the market is filled with smaller stones or with tones that pull too strongly to icy blue or to a flat aqua. A 5.21 carat example with medium color intensity, transparent clarity, and the refined emerald cut proportions is uncommon, and the origin of Ceylon elevates its allure. Ceylon, Sri Lanka produces gems with a distinctive clarity and character, and when a topaz from that terrain is cut into an emerald shape and finished with an excellent polish, the result is a stone that stands apart from more ordinary material. The irradiation enhancement is a conscientious choice to bring out the most pleasing and stable shade, disclosed to honor both beauty and transparency in trade. Compared to many similar options that might display weaker saturation, uneven tone, or require heavy cutting to reach facetable proportions, this gem offers generous carat weight and visual balance, allowing jewelry designers to set it in a way that preserves its natural serenity. The proportions at 11.00 x 8.82 x 5.89 mm will sit beautifully on a finger or in a bezel, creating a presence that reads as rare and intentional, not merely large.

When I speak as someone who loves gemstones and who represents The Natural Gemstone Company, I picture the moment you bring this topaz to life, the moment a loved one lifts the glass and learns that what rests inside is more than a pretty object, it is a promise, a celebration, a quiet miracle of nature shaped by human care. This greenish blue topaz will pair effortlessly with warm or cool metals, thriving in a refined platinum setting for clear cool contrast, or warming gently against yellow gold for a more vintage romance. Its excellent polish and step cut favor settings that let light journey through the stone, so open four prong mounts or elegant bezels work beautifully, and custom designers will find the dimensions generous enough to create a signature piece with presence, without overwhelming the wearer. We invite you to imagine gifting this gem on a milestone, holding it between fingers and feeling the weight and clarity as a vow or a thank you. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the story of this stone, from origin to enhancement and cut, and we are happy to discuss custom settings, provenance details, and care advice so that the gem will live many years as part of your family narrative.
