0.79 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A restrained masterpiece from the famed gem fields of Ceylon, this transparent brown zircon weighs 0.79 carat, and measures 5.20 by 5.19 by 2.93 millimetres, presented in a classic round shape with a mixed brilliant cut. The intense, warm chocolate hue is unaltered, with no enhancement, and an eye clean clarity that allows light to travel freely through the stone, producing a quiet yet insistent fire. The excellent polish and precision faceting maximize scintillation and depth, so that each movement reveals a new facet of its character, making the wearer not only the owner of a rare natural treasure, but a connoisseur whose taste demands purity and provenance. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this zircon is a statement of refined restraint, a jewel that speaks to accomplishment without excess.

Beyond its aesthetic virtues, this Ceylon zircon is exceptionally well suited for everyday jewellery, due to a combination of physical resilience and enduring surface quality. Zircon exhibits a robust hardness range around six and a half to seven and a half on the Mohs scale, and when fashioned and set with care it withstands the ordinary knocks and gestures of daily life, especially in protective settings such as bezel or well constructed prongs. Its substantial refractive index and dispersion amplify brilliance, so the gem maintains presence even in softer light, while its excellent polish resists dulling from routine wear. Because this stone is natural and untreated, you are receiving an authentic material whose colour and stability are inherent, not the result of laboratory processes. For longevity we recommend secure mounting, gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and occasional professional inspection to ensure the setting remains tight. In the hands of The Natural Gemstone Company this brown zircon becomes more than an accessory, it becomes an emblem of cultivated taste, a daily companion that announces quiet confidence and enduring elegance.
