Zircon is a natural gemstone that is virtually unknown in Germany. It has nothing in common with the inexpensive diamond substitute “zirconia,” which is manufactured in a laboratory and is essentially worthless. Genuine zircons are precious natural gemstones that come in many beautiful colours, with the blue varieties being particularly prized. These medium-blue gem-quality zircons are called “Starlite”. They are created by heating dark brown zircons—which, in their raw state, look almost like ordinary coal—to temperatures around 1,000 degrees Celsius. With a bit of luck, this process produces the distinctive blue colour, which ranks among the most sought-after colours in the zircon spectrum. We selected one such gemstone to serve as the new center stone for this ring, which was created in the 1970s, and had it set in our workshop. A total of twelve brilliant-cut diamonds with a combined weight of approximately 0.60 ct sparkle all around it. The diamonds are brilliantly white and of very fine clarity, while the sky-blue zircon, weighing about one carat, possesses wonderful brilliance. A delicate vintage ring that found its way to us here in Berlin.
