Chrysoberyl Cat's Eye Ring 12.5 Carats Milk & Honey Certified Men's Ring
About the Item
It's one of the rarest gemstones in the world, but most people have never heard of it: the chrysoberyl cat's eye. The stones are nearly as hard and durable as sapphire and are found in riverbeds in Sri Lanka. Often, they are a greenish-gray color; ideally, they are the color you see here, described as "milk & honey" because the milk-white "eye" slides through the "honey" colored body of the gem.
This incredibly high-quality, large, and impeccably-colored chrysoberyl cat's eye gem has a sharp, well-defined "eye" that slides across the stone as you move your hand. The simple, 18k yellow gold band mirrors the warmth of the stone and the simplicity of the design doesn't take away from the stone's inherent drama.
The color of the rare chrysoberyl cat's eye is a golden olive and represents the ideal for this gemstone. The stone measures 13.3mm x 10.2mm x 9.52mm and weighs just over 12.5 carats.
Because it is a very rare gem, and therefore most people have never seen one in person. If you're searching for a signature ring -durable enough for everyday wear- that not everybody else has on their finger, this may well be the ring for you.
I recognize that this is a perhaps surprisingly expensive ring; however, if you do some investigation online and compare, you'll discover that it's actually an exceptional value for a Chrysoberyl cats eye of this color, quality, and size. . I've seen rings at twice the price that aren't have as beautiful.
While it was originally created for a man, anyone can wear it. The stone is completely natural and without treatment, and it ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating this.
Currently a size 9, this ring could easily be resized by your local jeweler. It rises approximately 10 mm from the top of the finger.
