When it comes rare and fascinating gemstones, it’s hard to best zircon.
This rare and important gemstone is the oldest gemstone on Earth, with some specimens from Australia dating back 4.4 billion years. Considering that the Earth formed 4.56 billion years ago, this gem represents the earliest record of the world’s earliest crust. It was the first crystal to form in molten granite as it cooled to form rock.
Blue zircon is especially valued by collectors for its rarity, brilliance, high refractive index and excellent fire. It also has a dispersion rating nearly as high as a diamond. Looking at this stunning gem is like looking into a portal from the past.
Here, we’ve paired this legendary stone with diamond and encased it in 14k gold to create this ring, earring and necklace set. Matching sizzle and sparkle with elegant design, this collection is sure to turn heads.
