2.16 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Zircon Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the moment these zircons first breathed light in the riverbeds of Ceylon Sri Lanka, their journey has been one of quiet transformation, patience, and craftsmanship. Weathered gravels and ancient alluvial deposits released these crystals, which were then carefully recovered by skilled hands who have worked these lands for generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that heritage by sharing the full story of each gem, and this pair of white zircons carries the luster of its island origin. We present two transparent round zircons weighing 1.04 carats and 1.12 carats respectively, with dimensions of 5.67 x 5.75 x 3.79 mm, and 5.67 x 5.71 x 4.06 mm. Each is cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances internal fire with elegant brilliance, evaluated as near colorless in color intensity, graded very slightly included at eye level in clarity, and finished with an excellent polish. No enhancements have been applied, so what you see is the natural beauty crafted by both earth and hand.

Looked at through a jeweler eye, these stones offer a rare combination of optical presence and wearable scale, making them perfect for a pair of timeless studs, a matched set of small drop earrings, or a paired focal in a double solitaire ring. Their mixed brilliant cut gives a delightful interplay of scintillation and colored flashes, which reads as lively and lively without overpowering the setting. In hand styled photographs they appear elegant and refined, comfortably sized for everyday wear while also holding their own as a central element in ceremonial or formal jewelry. For those designing a future heirloom piece, consider bezel settings for a modern secure look, classic four prong settings to maximize light return, or halo frames that will amplify their apparent size and create a vintage inspired silhouette. These zircons also respond beautifully to metal contrast, for example the cool reflection of platinum or white gold to emphasize their near colorless tone, or the warm embrace of yellow gold to lend a softer, more feminine aura.

Imagine a piece that begins with these stones in the earth of Ceylon, is shaped by the patient skill of cutters and polishers, and is then entrusted to a jeweler who sets the stones into a piece intended to travel across generations. A pair like this becomes more than ornament, it becomes memory held in metal and stone, a conversation starter that speaks of place, of hand, and of intent. At The Natural Gemstone Company we guide customers through design choices that will protect and celebrate these gems, advising on secure settings, appropriate daily wear considerations, and professional cleaning schedules that will preserve their brilliance. Whether set as earrings that echo a grandmother smile, as matching stones flanking a personalized signet, or as the twin hearts of an anniversary ring, these zircons are ready to be transformed into an heirloom that will be worn, treasured, and passed down with stories attached.
