Zircon is a natural gemstone that is hardly known in Germany. It has nothing in common with the inexpensive diamond substitute "zirconia", which is produced in a laboratory and is basically worthless. Genuine zircons are precious natural gemstones that can occur in many beautiful colors, with blue specimens being particularly prized and highly prized. These medium blue precious zircons are called "starlite" and are created by firing dark brown zircons, which in their raw state look almost like simple coal, at temperatures of around 1000 degrees Celsius. With a bit of luck, this produces the unmistakable blue that is one of the most sought-after colors in the zircon spectrum. This ring from the 1950s is set with a wonderful blue zircon. Two opposing swings of diamonds in historic cuts surround the center stone. While the ring face is set in light platinum, the stable shank is made of yellow gold. The powerful design language and the lavish use of materials are typical of the 1950s. The diamonds, however, are older and come from pieces of jewellery from the 19th century. They were used here for a second purpose. According to the hallmarks, the ring was probably made in Germany.
