0.92 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the verdant landscapes of Sri Lanka, known historically as Ceylon, emerges a gem unlike any other. The island's rich geological tapestry offers a bounty of treasures, and it is here that our exquisite 0.92 carat cushion-shaped brownish-green zircon begins its journey. Buried in the ancient earth, this zircon lay hidden among layers of history, waiting for skilled hands to unearth its potential. Over generations, local miners have perfected their craft, guided by traditional knowledge passed down through time. Mining for such a gem is not merely an act of extraction but a delicate dance with nature. The zircon's warp and weave tell tales of the earth's embrace, each facet reflecting its origin deep within Ceylon's heart.

Once brought to the surface, the challenge was to reveal the zircon's fullest beauty, which lay beyond its raw and unrefined form. Skilled artisans applied their craftsmanship, meticulously employing a mixed brilliant cut to coax the stone into its dazzling potential. Under their expertise, each facet was polished to excellence, allowing the gemstone to capture and translate light into a symphony of color. This step is vital in revealing the zircon’s appealing medium intense hue, transforming its surface into a vibrant possibility. Its brownish-green color, reminiscent of forest canopies touched by sunlight, speaks of both vitality and serenity. Although the gem possesses slight inclusions, these are whispers from its origin and serve as a fingerprint of nature, adding character and attesting to its natural genesis.

What began as a hidden gem in the earth now stands prepared to enrich the lives of those who encounter it. In its final form, the zircon's unique color makes it an asset to jewelry of all kinds, designed to complement a variety of skin tones. Its earthy tones effortlessly blend with warm skin tones, bringing out future melodies of gold and bronze. Adorned on cooler skin tones, this zircon offers a striking contrast, its warmth a delightful complement to the freshness, much like a leaf against the morning dew. When serving as the star in a jewelry piece, it possesses the transformative ability to bridge different palettes, making it an ideal central pillar for both subtler and statement settings.
