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

These two round white zircons present an excellent combination of measurable precision and aesthetic appeal, each exhibiting the hallmarks of premium natural material. The pair weighs 1.06 carats and 1.15 carats respectively, with dimensions of 5.80 x 5.83 x 3.68 mm and 5.85 x 5.87 x 3.95 mm. Both stones are cut in a mixed brilliant style, which optimizes return of light from the crown while maintaining depth and contrast from the pavilion. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minor and do not compromise scintillation or durability. Color intensity is near colorless, offering a clean, bright appearance ideal for both contemporary and classic settings. Polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement, confirming that these are natural, untreated zircons with provenance from Ceylon, Sri Lanka.

For the educated buyer assessing value, several factors make this pair notable. The mixed brilliant cut is an efficient cutter choice for zircon, balancing face up size with optical performance, and the near colorless tone maximizes perceived whiteness without the chemical treatments sometimes applied to lesser material. Very slightly included clarity is an attractive trade off between accessibility and premium appearance, since eye clean material at this size is comparatively rare for natural zircons from Sri Lanka. The absence of enhancement increases collectibility and long term value, as untreated material retains market desirability and transparency about origin. In addition, these stones exhibit the lively dispersion and brilliance for which quality zircons are known, resulting in strong sparkle under varied lighting conditions.

When set, this pair will create a balanced, eye-catching design that suits multiple jewelry applications. The near matching sizes produce harmony as a pair of stud earrings, while the slight size variation can be used intentionally in a bypass ring or stacked accent arrangement to produce a dynamic focal point. The mixed brilliant facets create scintillating highlights and crisp white flashes that catch the eye, while the near colorless body keeps the overall look refined and versatile. At The Natural Gemstone Company we recommend settings that allow light to interact with the pavilion, such as open backed bezels or prong mounts, to fully reveal the stones optical performance. These zircons are an excellent option for a client seeking natural, untreated gems with precise cutting, trustworthy grading, and enduring visual appeal.
