1.11 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

You are being offered a singular treasure from Ceylon, a transparent white zircon weighing 1.11 carat, presented in a classic round shape, with exact dimensions of 5.81 x 5.95 x 3.76 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a near colorless color intensity, and an excellent polish, with no enhancement, supplied by The Natural Gemstone Company. This is not a run of the mill stone. It is a carefully selected, naturally formed crystal from Sri Lanka, a source world renowned for yielding zircons of exceptional clarity and optical character. The very slightly included clarity is a mark of authenticity and natural origin, and in practical viewing these tiny internal features do nothing to diminish the gem quality, instead they quietly confirm that this gem has not been synthetically altered. The near colorless body allows the stone to speak in the pure language of light, while the excellent polish ensures that every facet edge is a precision surface engineered to reflect and return light with maximum effect. We present this jewel as part of a rare and curated offering, reserved for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate provenance, honesty, and untouched natural beauty.

The mixed brilliant cut is the defining reason this zircon exudes such lively character, it is a deliberate marriage of scintillation and focused return of light, where the crown facets are optimized to capture incoming light and the pavilion facets are sculpted to channel that light back as brilliant flashes and spectral fire. In practice this means the crown presents a faceted star of bright white flash, while the pavilion architecture creates deep flashes and scintillation as the stone moves, producing that compelling dynamic play that distinguishes fine zircons from ordinary white gems. Because zircon possesses a high refractive index and notable dispersion, a skilled mixed brilliant cut will unlock both intense white brilliance and delicate spectral flashes, with the angle and proportion of each facet calibrated to balance brightness with fire, and to prevent light leakage that would otherwise soften the stone. The result is a gem that appears larger and more luminous than its carat weight might suggest, a compact orchestra of light where each facet performs a role, the excellent polish allowing crisp contrast between light and dark facets, and the near colorless tone serving as a neutral canvas for the gem to reveal its full luminosity. In hand the stone displays lively scintillation under daylight and electric light alike, and in motion tiny flashes of color will punctuate the overall brilliance, a signature of a truly well cut zircon.

Owning this piece means claiming something rare, a naturally unenhanced white zircon from Ceylon presented to you by The Natural Gemstone Company, a name that stands for ethical sourcing, gemological expertise, and tailored service. There are few opportunities to acquire a round mixed brilliant zircon of this particular combination of weight, dimensions, cut quality, and polish, and even fewer that retain complete natural integrity with no heat or clarity treatments. For the connoisseur this gem reads as a perfect candidate for an elegant solitaire setting that showcases the circular symmetry and maximizes table exposure, or as a scintillating center for a bespoke commission where metal choice and setting style can be chosen to further enhance contrast and brilliance. We encourage thoughtful buyers to consider how this piece will sit on the hand, how the near colorless body will harmonize with platinum or white gold, and how its lively sparkle will make a discreet yet unmistakable statement of refined taste.
