1.01 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine owning a jewel that feels like a private discovery, a singular crystal drawn from the legendary mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a gem that carries with it the quiet authority of provenance and the whisper of rarity. This white zircon from The Natural Gemstone Company weighs one point zero one carat, a perfectly balanced size that sits elegantly as a solitaire or anchors a bespoke setting. Its round shape, crafted to ideal proportions with a mixed brilliant cut, measures five point four eight by five point six zero by three point seven seven millimeters, dimensions that were chosen to maximize scintillation and life. The cutting style marries a brilliant crown with a step pavilion, creating a dynamic play of light where each facet intersection is a deliberate choice to optimize fire and brilliance. With a near colorless intensity and an excellent polish, this zircon reflects white light with a clarity and whisper of rainbow flashes that are both refined and arresting, a rare combination you will not find often in the market.

What distinguishes this stone even further are its natural inclusions, those tiny internal stories written over eons, visible only to the careful eye and treasured by connoisseurs. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and these inclusions serve as the gem equivalent of a fingerprint. They are not flaws in the ordinary sense, they are identifiers that guarantee the gem is natural and untouched by enhancement. Each inclusion refracts light differently, imparting a subtle inner sparkle and a sense of depth, a hidden constellation that reveals itself when held to light. For the collector who values authenticity above simulated perfection, these internal characteristics are proof of origin and history, minute details that tie the gem back to the earth and to the artisanal hands that cut it.

This zircon is completely natural, no enhancement, a statement that increases its desirability for those seeking true rarity. In an age when treatments and laboratory alterations are common, an untreated stone from Ceylon Sri Lanka carries an elevated cachet. The natural state of the gem preserves the full story of formation, and that story is legible in its color, its clarity, and its interaction with light. The near colorless palette grants it the flexibility to be paired with a wide range of metals and designs, from the warm glow of yellow gold to the crisp modernity of platinum. Yet because it is one of a kind in our current collection, the opportunity to commission a bespoke setting around this particular zircon is limited, a choice reserved for those who appreciate owning something that cannot be easily replicated.

Selecting this zircon invites a bespoke collaboration, a privilege we extend through The Natural Gemstone Company to discerning clients who seek exclusivity and enduring beauty. Our clients often commission custom rings, pendants, or earrings designed specifically to complement the gem s proportions and optical personality, making the piece feel like an heirloom rather than a purchase. Setting suggestions include a low and elegant bezel for daily wear that protects the girdle while allowing the mixed brilliant crown to interact with ambient light, or a four prong solitaire mounting to maximize exposure and brilliance. Because the stone displays exceptional polish and a refined cut, a master jeweler can subtly influence the way the stone presents itself by the choice of metal and mounting height, turning personal taste into lasting expression.

Owning this white zircon from The Natural Gemstone Company is more than acquiring a gem, it is joining a small circle of collectors and clients who value provenance, natural authenticity, and the quiet prestige of rarity. The combination of one point zero one carat weight, precise dimensions, mixed brilliant cut, very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level, near colorless tone, excellent polish, and the absence of enhancement, all originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, composes a profile that is both technically impressive and emotionally resonant. This is an invitation to invest in a singular stone, to commission a design that will carry your mark, and to wear a gem that tells a story only a few will know. If you wish to reserve this zircon or discuss bespoke mounting options, we will guide you personally through the process, ensuring that your final piece is as unique and exceptional as the gem itself.
