2.05 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the depths of Ceylon, where monsoon rains wash the earth and ancient alluvial deposits hide treasures, this green zircon was coaxed into the light by careful hands who have worked the gem sands for generations, its story carried to us at The Natural Gemstone Company. At 2.05 carats this round gem measures 8.50 x 8.48 x 3.95 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation with strong table sparkle, and polished to an excellent finish that lets flashes of fire dance across its surface. Its color reads as a medium intense green that shifts subtly with viewing angle, a color born of trace elements and the crystalline purity of Sri Lankan zircon. Unenhanced and natural, and evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, this stone carries the honest character of an earth born jewel rather than the uniform perfection of lab altered materials, which is the kind of authenticity our clients treasure.

Imagine this green zircon set as the heart of a bespoke ring or pendant, framed by a halo of small round diamonds to add crisp brilliance and to lift its vivid green into a luminous contrast, the white fire of the diamonds emphasizing the zircons own dispersion. For a softer, more romantic pairing, flank the center with delicate peach morganites or warm champagne diamonds, where the gentle pink and gold tones play against the green to create a cultivated vintage feel, especially in a rose gold mount. For a bolder couture approach, set the zircon between two trillion cut pink sapphires or raspberry spinels, the complementary color creating lively contrast and modern drama. In a three stone ring, tapered baguette diamonds on the shoulders will provide architectural balance and draw the eye to the mixed brilliant cut center, while a low bezel in yellow gold offers protection and a sun warmed backdrop that echoes tropical Ceylon. The stones proportions make it ideal for an everyday wearable center in a four prong or bezel setting, and its natural, untreated origin ensures each viewing reveals new depth and nuance. If you would like to commission a custom design, The Natural Gemstone Company will guide you through metal choices, accent stones, and setting profiles so this exceptional Sri Lankan green zircon becomes a personal heirloom that carries its origin story forward.
