1989 Blue Zircon and Diamond Halo Ring, 9ct Yellow and White Gold, size N1/2 or 7, 3.18g

As many of you will know - we love a zircon. They tick so may boxes for us - natural stones, some of the oldest stones found (some billions of years old), they come in a fabulous range of colours (these blues are heated, and their sparkle is just captivating. This blue zircon is inky and deep in its hue and we love that it is set in so many claws - with the yellow gold peeking through the rhodium from the halo and giving it such warmth. The halo and shoulders of petal set diamonds give a fabulous width, sparkle and shape to this ring - it has real presence on the hand.

Care - Zircons are only a 7 on the Mohs scale - and will scratch over time - this is to be expected with a stone like this.
