1.19 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a distinctive center stone that stops the search the 1.19 carat oval greenish yellow zircon from The Natural Gemstone Company answers that need with clarity and confidence. This gem measures 6.36 x 5.47 x 3.81 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut delivers lively scintillation and deep internal reflections that catch light from every angle. The color reads as a medium intense greenish yellow, a rare hue that balances warmth and freshness, making it versatile for many design directions. Transparency is excellent, and the clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the gem appears clean to the viewer while retaining natural character under magnification. The polish is excellent, which enhances light return and gives the stone a finished presence that is immediately noticeable. Importantly this zircon is natural with no enhancement, and it comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for fine gemstones, so you receive a responsibly sourced, naturally colored gem that stands on its own merit.

Because of its precise dimensions and elegant oval outline this zircon is particularly well suited for custom jewelry projects, especially rings and pendants where proportion and profile matter. The 6.36 x 5.47 mm footprint makes it large enough to read as the focal point in an engagement ring or a bold solitaire pendant, while remaining small enough to sit comfortably in a classic four or six prong setting without overwhelming the design. The slightly elongated oval shape creates the optical effect of lengthening the finger when used in ring designs, and it lends itself to both modern minimalist settings and vintage inspired halo styles. The mixed brilliant cut offers a balanced mix of table and pavilion facets, which means the stone produces lively brilliance while maintaining depth and color saturation, an ideal trait for commissions where sparkle and color are both priorities. Because the clarity is very slightly included at eye level, the stone presents a clean face up appearance, which simplifies the design process since the gem does not require elaborate hiding or masking in the setting.

When you are planning a custom piece, this natural Ceylon zircon becomes a practical and inspiring choice that allows for creative flexibility and enduring beauty. Consider a delicate yellow gold bezel to emphasize the warm greenish yellow tone, or a crisp white metal halo to introduce contrast and amplify sparkle, or a thin rose gold band to play up the gem energy for an intimate, feminine aesthetic. For collectors and designers who want a standout center stone, a simple solitaire with low profile prongs will showcase the mixed brilliant cut and the gem proportion, while a halo of small white sapphires or brilliant cut diamonds will enhance perceived size and increase scintillation without obscuring the natural color. Because the gem is untreated, it carries an authenticity that resonates with clients who value natural materials, and our team at The Natural Gemstone Company will guide you through setting choices, metal pairings, and design sketches to ensure the final piece reflects the personality and lifestyle of the wearer. If you are seeking a unique engagement ring center or a collectible gem for an heirloom piece, this 1.19 carat greenish yellow zircon is a rare opportunity to have a naturally colored, excellently polished oval stone that is ready to be transformed into a custom creation that you will love.
