1.20 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A warm oval like a folded sunrise, this transparent 1.20 carat yellowish brown zircon carries the soft glow of Ceylon, a gem born in Sri Lanka and offered with pride by The Natural Gemstone Company. Measuring 6.74 by 5.37 by 3.65 millimeters, it rests between subtlety and presence, its medium color intensity settling into a honeyed embrace that changes with every turn. The clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a whisper of nature that does not interrupt the gem light, and the polish is excellent, allowing each surface to become a mirror that invites the eye to linger. No enhancement has altered its original heart, this zircon is exactly as the earth fashioned it, ready to be set into a ring that will tell a quiet love story, ready to become the center of a promise carried from Ceylon to your hand.

The mixed brilliant cut is the soul of this jewel, a geometry of facets tuned to coax light into a private performance, crown facets that capture daylight with open hands, pavilion facets that return it as a rain of tiny stars, and a finely judged depth that encourages total internal reflection rather than surrender. The oval silhouette lengthens the flashes, creating ribbons of brilliance that travel across the table with each movement, while the brilliant facets scatter color and scintillation, and the step influenced pavilion channels flashes into deeper, golden flashes, enhancing the yellowish brown tone without dimming it. Excellent polish ensures that every facet edge is crisp, every plane a clear voice in the light, and the very slightly included clarity leaves the gem honest and alive, its inclusions hidden in the play rather than the gaze. Imagine this zircon set in a delicate halo or a simple solitaire, imagine its light catching on a wedding day, imagine it telling a story that began beneath Sri Lankan soil and continues with you, and know that The Natural Gemstone Company will accompany you with care as you bring that story to life.
