Collection: Zircon
Colourless zircon is known for its brilliance and flashes of multicoloured light.
These zircon properties are close enough to the properties of diamond to account for centuries of confusion between the two gems.
Zircon occurs in an array of colours. Its varied palette of yellow, green, red, reddish brown and blue hues makes it a favourite among collectors as well as informed consumers.
In the Middle Ages, this gem was thought to induce sound sleep, drive away evil spirits and promote riches, honour and wisdom. Blue zircon was a particular favourite in Victorian times, when fine gems were often featured in English estate jewellery dating from the 1880s.
Zircon is one of the birthstones for December, along with Turquoise and Tanzanite.
