2.25 Ct. Zircon from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Zircon, not to be confused with the synthetic material cubic zirconia, is an extraordinary natural gemstone that has been appreciated through the ages for its high refractive index and strong dispersion, qualities that grant it a brilliance and fire that rival even that of diamonds. Zircons come in a variety of colors, but the greenish-yellow variety, such as the one described, carries a sunny disposition with its vibrant hues.
This particular greenish-yellow zircon is a marvel of nature and artistry. At 2.25 carats, it offers a substantial presence that is perfect for statement jewelry or as a centerpiece in a sophisticated accessory. The dimensions of 7.83 x 7.81 x 4.23 mm indicate a perfectly symmetrical round shape, crafted with a mixed brilliant cut that enhances the stone's natural sparkle and allows its color to dance vibrantly under any light source.
The zircon's very slightly included clarity grade suggests that any inclusions are minor and do not detract from the stone's overall appearance, especially when viewed with the unaided eye. This speaks to the gem's purity and quality, giving it an understated elegance. The intense color intensity offers a striking visual appeal, ensuring that the gem will stand out in any setting.
Complemented by an excellent polish, this gemstone’s craftsmanship ensures that it interacts with light beautifully, offering an eye-catching luster and making it a captivating center of attention when set in a piece of jewelry.
