Hand set in sustainable, 100% recycled platinum, 14k gold, or sterling silver in our rural US studio.
A December birthstone, zircon was a key feature of Victorian jewelry
Popular in Victorian England, blue zircon graces much English estate jewelry from the 1880s. Cloudy or smoky grades of zircon were valued in mourning jewelry.
One of the oldest minerals on earth at around 4.4 billion (yes, BILLION) years old, zircon is a spectacular natural gemstone that can rival diamond in its brilliance. These gems can hold important clues about the formation of the earth, and play a role in the exploration for diamonds.
In the Middle Ages, people believed zircon was able to ward off evil, and that it promoted wisdom, prosperity, and a good night's sleep! Modern-day crystal healers believe zircon enhances compassion, confidence, and can bring visions into reality.
These gems were mined near Rattanakiri, Cambodia, and are being sold by a one-man shop in Cambodia. They were mined by individuals, not a corporation; they're being sold by and to tiny businesses where your purchases make a direct impact on the lives of hard-working individuals.
