Frequently asked questions
-
Is zircon a good choice for an everyday ring?
With a bezel setting, yes. Zircon (Mohs 6.5 to 7.5) has beautiful brilliance but its edges can be brittle. Bezel settings wrap metal around the stone for protection. Remove before heavy manual work.
-
Why are bezel settings recommended for zircon rings?
Zircon edges can chip with impact because the stone has a tendency to be brittle along its crystal edges. Bezel settings protect those edges, making the ring much more practical for regular wear.

Care and Quality
Bezel settings are strongly recommended for zircon rings because zircon edges can be brittle. Remove before heavy manual work, exercise, and cleaning. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners.
