For a collector, provenance increases rarity and desirability, and for someone choosing an engagement ring, the knowledge that the stone comes from such a storied locale adds emotional resonance and a sense of continuity with the great gem traditions of the past. The fact that this zircon is completely untreated, with no enhancements, reinforces its authenticity, offering confidence that its vivid greenish yellow tone is natural, stable, and wholly accountable to its Sri Lankan source.

In practical terms, this 1.09 carat emerald cut zircon is an ideal solution for clients who want a refined, wearable gem that also stands out for its unique hue. The emerald cut s long, open facets emphasize color and clarity, making this shape particularly well suited to showcasing the intense greenish yellow body color that is so appealing in this specimen. Because the polish is excellent, each facet returns light cleanly, creating crisp reflections that lend sophistication to any setting, from a classic solitaire to a vintage halo, or even a modern bezel for greater protection. Slight inclusions at eye level should be presented transparently to clients, because their presence underscores the stone s natural origin and does not compromise its beauty.
