1.61 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite green zircon from Ceylon Sri Lanka arrives to you as a study in refined restraint, a jewel that whispers rather than shouts, and a piece that declares taste without ostentation. We present a transparent 1.61 carat round shape zircon, precisely measured at 7.10 x 7.11 x 4.62 mm, fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth, and finished with an excellent polish that allows each facet to breathe with light. The color reads as a medium intense green, a hue that evokes deep island foliage held at dusk, and the clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, ensuring that the gem carries the veritable signature of natural formation while maintaining an open, clean window through which the magic of zircon fire may be admired. There is no enhancement, a distinction that defines authenticity for the discerning collector, and the stone arrives to you from the storied soils of Ceylon, a provenance synonymous with timeless gemstones and understated luxury, a provenance that The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to source and present.

Imagine a romance born of the sea breeze and the green canopy of an old island garden, a story we often tell as the natural complement to this jade like zircon. Legend has it that the green of the stone traces its soul to a twilight encounter on the southern shores of Ceylon, where a wandering poet paused beneath a banyan, and the last rays of a sun drenched day pooled into a perfect green mirror on a tide warmed boulder. That green stayed with him, so the tale goes, in the same way that the color of this zircon holds a memory, a soft and constant presence that deepens with every glance. The very slightly included clarity is part of that narrative, tiny internal fingerprints that record a life lived within the earth, and which to the connoisseur denote a genuine story rather than laboratory mimicry. When set, this gem becomes an intimate talisman, a keepsake of whispered promises and measured passions, and an outward statement that the wearer values history, authenticity, and the rare pleasure of beauty unaltered.

To own this green zircon is to take a considered step into a rarefied world, an acquisition that signals achievement and a refined sensibility. Envision this gem at the heart of a bespoke engagement ring, held in a bezel that lets light skim its girdle, or as the solitary center stone of a pendant that falls to the throat like a secret. The mixed brilliant cut creates a dialogue between face up brilliance and pavilion depth, allowing flashes of lively fire to alternate with deeper, contemplative color, an effect that rewards both movement and stillness. At 1.61 carats, the stone sits in a perfect space between presence and subtlety, large enough to command attention, yet delicate enough to suggest discretion and provenance. Our team at The Natural Gemstone Company can assist in selecting a setting that honors the gem, whether in warm yellow gold that coaxes out olive undertones, or cool white metals that leave the hue as the primary voice. For clients who cherish unenhanced stones, this zircon offers the rare confidence of a natural color, an honest polish, and a character that promises to age with dignity alongside its owner.

The act of choosing a gemstone is a declaration of self, a private curation of objects that speak to who you are and who you intend to be, and this green zircon is the sort of choice that reads as elegant and intentional. Its medium intense color intensity allows it to pair seamlessly with both daywear and evening couture, and its excellent polish ensures that every social gesture becomes an opportunity for the stone to catch and return light. For collectors, the Sri Lankan origin adds a layer of provenance that complements the visible qualities, a lineage of craftsmanship and earth born nuance. When you procure this gem through The Natural Gemstone Company, you acquire not only a perfectly cut and polished specimen, but also access to a heritage of sourcing, a promise of authenticity, and personalized service to realize the gem as a finished jewel.
