1.79 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Like a secret kept in the heart of a forest, this green zircon arrives with a hush of luxury and a bright edge of fire. This one beautiful transparent 1.79 carat round shape green zircon carries the calm and complexity of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where each facet remembers sunlight filtered through ancient leaves. It is cut in a mixed brilliant style, with dimensions of 6.98 by 6.97 by 5.02 millimeters, an excellent polish that allows every plane to sing, and a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level that gives it character without dimming its brilliance. The color intensity reads as intense, a deep verdant tone that shifts from forest green to a lively olive depending on the angle of light, and it is offered exactly as nature gave it, with no enhancement. We at The Natural Gemstone Company honor stones that hold the earths story, and this zircon is a quiet proclamation of natural beauty and refined craftsmanship.

Under the loupe and in daylight the mixed brilliant cut performs like a chorus of light, each table and pavilion facet refracting glimpses of green that seem to move within the gem. The polished crown scatters small stars of brightness, while the pavilion mirrors draw depth into the center, creating a living, breathing heart of green. When set in a ring or pendant the transparency allows light to travel freely, so the gem can show clear flashes of lime at the edges, deeper evergreen in the center, and tiny pinpoint sparkles that catch and return the gaze. The very slightly included clarity grade is almost imperceptible to the eye, and it lends a sense of provenance and honesty that many collectors and romantics prefer. Because the gem is natural and untreated, it carries a patina of authenticity that complements both understated pieces and elaborate settings, inviting silvers and golds to tell different parts of the same story.

This green zircon's color is a versatile storyteller that flatters a wide range of skin tones, each reception revealing a new chapter. On fair skin with cool undertones the intense green reads crystalline and fresh, the stone offering a vivid contrast that brightens the complexion, and a platinum or white gold setting will accentuate the cool clarity and lend a modern, refined silhouette. On fair skin with warm undertones the jewel takes on a slightly warmer glow, and yellow gold will harmonize with the warmth, creating a luminous, vintage sensibility that feels like sunlight on a mossy path. For medium skin tones the green becomes lush and natural, neither overpowering nor shy, and both white metals and warm golds will play well, depending on whether the wearer prefers contrast or cohesion. Olive skin imbues the zircon with an almost botanical authenticity, where the green echoes the undertones and feels intimately at home, and rose gold introduces a tender blush that turns the piece into a soft, romantic accent. On deeper skin tones the color gains regal intensity, it appears rich and jewel like, and yellow gold or warm 18 karat gold settings will create an embrace of color that feels both bold and elegant. The modest yet substantial weight of 1.79 carat and the near seven millimeter diameter make this stone a sublime centerpiece for engagement rings and statement solitaires, offering presence without overpowering the hand, and it pairs beautifully with halo settings for extra brilliance, bezel settings for a contemporary frame, or three stone arrangements for added narrative.

Because the stone is natural and untreated, it carries a gentle honesty that makes it a meaningful gift for milestones and declarations, a keepsake that will age with the wearer and accumulate memory as readily as it reflects light.
