A cushion-cut chrysoberyl is a captivating gemstone, renowned for its exceptional clarity, brilliance, and the subtle elegance of its soft, square-like shape with rounded corners. Chrysoberyl ranks an impressive 8.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it one of the most durable gemstones, suitable for everyday wear in various types of jewelry, including rings and bracelets. The cushion cut enhances the gem’s natural brilliance and luster, creating a sparkling effect that is highly sought after by gem enthusiasts. Chrysoberyl is popular not only for its durability but also for its unique color range, which typically spans from a pale yellow to greenish-yellow or even a golden hue, often with a cat's eye effect or a rare color change phenomenon in some varieties. This gemstone is also known for its high refractive index, contributing to its remarkable brilliance and light dispersion. While chrysoberyl itself is not assigned as a traditional birthstone, its rare variety, alexandrite, shares the June birthstone spot with pearl and moonstone, symbolizing balance, creativity, and joy. The cushion-cut chrysoberyl, with its blend of durability, brilliance, and timeless beauty, remains a prized choice for those seeking a sophisticated and enduring gemstone.
