Zircon is a precious gemstone that has been known since ancient times. It has nothing in common with the inexpensive "zirconia", which is produced in a laboratory and is a cheap substitute for diamonds. Rather, natural precious zircons are rare treasures whose high light refraction is similar to that of diamonds! Blue zircons are created by carefully heating the mostly dark brown stones at temperatures between 850 and 1,000 degrees Celsius for several hours. With a bit of luck, the characteristic blue, also known as "starlite", is created. This is how an initially inconspicuous material is transformed into a luminous gemstone. Blue zirconia was first obtained in this way at the beginning of the 20th century. Their icy-looking color quickly became a big fashion, as their look met the taste of the beginning Art Deco. This pendant is a typical piece from this era. It has an elongated shape typical of the period and presents the zircon accompanied by two glittering diamond roses. The pendant is made of white gold with a layer of platinum. The pendant was later complemented with a matching white gold chain. The result is a unique piece of jewellery from the 1930s that places the unusual gemstone at the center.
