11.08 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from Persia(Iran)

An extraordinary presence, this natural Persian turquoise presents itself as an object of quiet power, a gemstone that speaks of lineage and connoisseurship. We offer one beautiful opaque 11.08 carat oval bluish green turquoise, fashioned as a classic cabochon cut with dimensions of 17.35 by 12.02 by 9.06 millimeters, a balance of substantial weight and wearable scale. The surface is finished to an excellent polish that reveals the stone in its most flattering light, and the medium color intensity gives it a serene, cultured hue that complements both warm and cool metals. Of singular importance to collectors and jewelers alike, this piece bears no enhancement, a pure and unaltered example of nature at its most generous, and its origin is Persia, Iran, a provenance long associated with the most coveted and historically renowned turquoise. When one seeks a gemstone that embodies authenticity, refinement, and a storied heritage, this turquoise stands apart, an emblem of discernment for the wearer who insists on the best.

Viewed closely, the bluish green tone reads as a tranquil sea kissed by morning light, an elegant interlude between green and blue that adapts gracefully to changing light and attire. The cabochon dome, measured and masterfully executed, yields a luminous surface that draws the eye without overwhelming the composition of any setting, whether the stone is cradled in a fine bezel, centered within a decorative halo, or placed as a bold solitaire on a signet or cocktail ring. At 11.08 carats the piece carries an assured presence, substantial enough to command attention, yet refined in its proportions and comfortable against the hand or neck. The excellent polish accentuates the turquoise clarity and texture, revealing subtle natural character lines that affirm its authenticity while remaining delicate and unobtrusive. This is a gemstone for the atelier that wishes to create a signature piece, for the private collector who seeks a single stone capable of transforming a commission into a legacy, and for the discerning client who understands that true luxury is the seamless union of provenance, craftsmanship, and aesthetic restraint.
