2.83 Ct. Brown Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the moment this brown tourmaline left the rich soils of Ceylon, it carried with it a story of island geology and centuries of gem lore, a story that The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to continue. Mined by hand in Sri Lanka where artisans have long worked with the earth to reveal hidden color, this stone was selected for its transparent depth and intense brown hue that shifts with every turn under light. Cut in an elegant oval form with a mixed brilliant faceting style, the gem was carefully shaped to balance fire and brilliance while preserving weight and clarity. The excellent polish reflects a craftsman mindset that honors traditional cutting techniques, and because the stone has no enhancement, it arrives in its authentic, natural state for you to design around.

This tourmaline weighs 2.83 carats and measures 9.83 x 8.27 x 5.99 mm, a size and silhouette that make it ideal for refined custom jewelry. The oval outline provides a flattering, elongating look on rings and pendants, while the practical depth makes it secure in bezel and prong settings alike. Its clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads clean to the eye and offers stability for everyday wear, and the intense color intensity ensures a dramatic presence even in modest settings. The mixed brilliant cut yields lively sparkle across the crown with a warm, honeyed brown that pairs beautifully with yellow gold for vintage style, with rose gold for a romantic tone, or with white gold and diamonds for modern contrast. For designers and clients seeking a centerpiece that adapts easily, this oval tourmaline is perfect for solitaire rings, halo designs, three stone rings, and pendant lockets where size and shape must harmonize with metalwork. If you envision a custom creation that tells a personal story, The Natural Gemstone Company can assist you with mounting recommendations and sketches so this Sri Lankan treasure becomes a wearable heirloom crafted to your specifications.
