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

This matched pair of white zircons from Ceylon, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, presents an exceptionally clean and lively option for halo settings. The stones weigh 1.03 carats and 1.13 carats respectively, and are cut into near round proportions with dimensions of 5.71 x 5.66 x 3.93 mm and 5.65 x 5.66 x 3.77 mm. The mixed brilliant cut combines faceting patterns that optimize both scintillation and table brilliance, and the excellent polish enhances light return across the table and crown facets. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means any internal features are minimal and do not detract from face up performance. The near colorless color intensity provides a neutral, bright appearance that complements white metals and allows the natural dispersion and fire of zircon to be clearly seen. These zircons have received no enhancement, and their Sri Lankan origin adds provenance that discerning buyers often value for its historical association with high quality gemstones.

In a halo setting these zircons will distinguish themselves through amplified presence and enhanced optical performance. A well proportioned halo of small melee stones functions both as a visual frame and a reflector, bouncing additional light into the center stones and increasing perceived size and brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut of these zircons benefits from a tight, well matched halo because the outer melee return light into the pavilion angles, intensifying scintillation under movement. For an engagement ring, low profile four prong or shared prong halos allow maximum face up exposure, while a scalloped or millegrain halo can add contrast and vintage character without obscuring the stones faces. As stud earrings, classic halo studs will give a larger, more luminous look on the ear, producing the impression of greater carat presence while preserving the clean near colorless tone. Given the close dimensional match and complementary weights, this pair is particularly well suited to symmetrical halo treatments where uniformity matters. For buyers seeking natural, untreated material with proven clarity and polish, these Ceylon zircons offer a compelling balance of fire, brightness, and value, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind their documented origin and quality.
