1.59 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company I am pleased to present an extraordinary natural zircon that embodies rarity, refinement, and a quiet confidence that appeals to the most discerning collector. This is not a mass produced gem, it is a single, carefully selected treasure from Ceylon Sri Lanka that carries with it the stories of responsible harvest and expert appraisal. For the connoisseur who seeks pieces that are as unique as their own taste, this oval orangish brown zircon represents an invitation to join a select group of owners who value authenticity above all. Each detail has been considered, from the precise proportions to the untouched, natural state of the stone, and the result is a gem that reads as much like a signature as like an heirloom. Owning this zircon is an opportunity to possess something that will not be replicated, a quiet luxury that signals both refined aesthetic sensibility and a commitment to ethical sourcing.

The gem itself is a transparent 1.59 carat oval zircon, exhibiting a warm orangish brown tone that displays medium intense color intensity, a hue that changes subtly with movement and light, offering depth rather than flash. It measures 7.39 by 5.48 by 3.97 millimeters, a size that balances presence with wearable elegance, large enough to command attention yet perfectly suited to bespoke settings. The cut is a mixed brilliant cut, designed to combine the scintillation and fire of a brilliant cut with the clean, elegant lines of an oval, enhancing both brilliance and optical depth. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone retains excellent transparency and visual purity to the unaided eye, while its natural inclusions serve as markers of authenticity rather than imperfections. The polish is excellent, delivering a smooth, reflective surface that maximizes the stone s internal light return. There has been no enhancement of any kind, the zircon remaining wholly natural and unheated, offering purists and mindful buyers the assurance that what they are acquiring is genuine and untouched.

Ethical sourcing is central to the appeal of this piece and to the ethos of The Natural Gemstone Company. This zircon originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a historically significant source of fine zircons where small scale artisanal mining has been practiced for generations. We work closely with trusted local partners who adhere to fair and transparent labor practices, ensuring that miners receive equitable compensation and that operations contribute positively to local communities. Environmental stewardship is equally important, and the sourcing partners we choose employ methods designed to minimize landscape disruption and to rehabilitate sites post extraction. Every step of the journey from rough to finished gem is documented and reviewed by our team of gemologists, and the absence of enhancements further guarantees that no chemical or thermal treatments have been used to alter the stone s natural character. For the conscious consumer who cares not only about beauty but about provenance, this zircon offers a rare combination of aesthetic distinction and ethical integrity, a piece that aligns with values of sustainability and social responsibility.

This zircon is destined to become a defining addition to a thoughtful, curated collection, suitable for a bespoke ring, an understated pendant, or a tailored piece that will be passed down with pride. Its warm orangish brown tone pairs beautifully with both yellow gold and warm rose gold settings, while its oval silhouette lends itself to modern minimalism as readily as to classical designs. Because pieces of this caliber and provenance are seldom available, The Natural Gemstone Company presents this gem with limited opportunity to acquire it, making ownership an exclusive privilege reserved for a few. We offer personalized consultations to explore custom mounting options and to ensure the final creation reflects your vision and values. For those who collect with intention, who value ethical origin as much as exceptional aesthetics, this unenhanced Ceylon zircon stands apart as an emblem of conscious luxury. Contact The Natural Gemstone Company to learn more about this exceptional stone and to arrange a private viewing, because true rarity is not merely about scarcity, it is about the chance to join an elite circle of owners who recognize the lasting worth of something naturally magnificent.
