Zircon Necklace: Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is zircon a real gemstone?
Yes. Natural zircon is a genuine mineral gemstone, not to be confused with cubic zirconia, which is a synthetic material with a completely different chemical composition. Zircon is one of the oldest minerals on earth, with some specimens dating back over four billion years. Blue zircon is heat-treated from natural brown zircon to achieve its characteristic icy blue color.
-
What is zircon the birthstone for?
Blue zircon is one of three December birthstones alongside turquoise and tanzanite. It is associated with the Sagittarius and Capricorn zodiac signs. Despite being a natural gemstone with thousands of years of history, it is one of the less widely known birthstones, which makes it a distinctive and memorable choice.
-
Is blue zircon treated?
Yes. Blue zircon is produced by heat-treating natural brown zircon at high temperatures, a standard, stable, and widely accepted practice in the gemstone industry. The color produced by heat treatment is permanent and does not require any ongoing care or re-treatment.
-
Can I wear a zircon necklace every day?
Yes, with normal care. Zircon rates 6 to 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. The bezel setting provides edge protection. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh impact, as zircon has a tendency toward brittleness at the edges. Otherwise it is well-suited for daily wear.
-
How is zircon different from cubic zirconia?
Zircon is a natural mineral gemstone that has been used in jewelry for thousands of years. Cubic zirconia is a synthetic material made from zirconium oxide, created in a laboratory with no natural counterpart. The two share a similar name but are completely different in origin, composition, and optical properties. Zircon has greater fire and a warmer, more complex brilliance than cubic zirconia.
-
How long does it take to receive a custom zircon necklace?
Each piece is made to order. Please allow up to 10 business days for production. In-stock configurations may ship sooner. All US orders over $150 include free standard shipping and arrive gift-ready.
More Details
Bezel-Set Zircon Necklace
Natural blue zircon has a brilliance that surprises people who encounter it for the first time. It refracts light with a fire and sparkle that rivals diamond, and its icy, clear blue has a cool sophistication that is entirely its own. Set in a clean bezel on a delicate cable chain, this 3mm stone wears at the collarbone as something quietly luminous, a piece that catches the light as you move through a room.
One of December's birthstones, zircon is often mistaken for a synthetic, but it is among the oldest natural minerals on earth, with some specimens dating back more than four billion years. Whether you are celebrating a December birthday or simply drawn to its particular quality of light, this necklace is made to order in your choice of 14K gold or sterling silver.
The Bezel Setting, Explained
Natural blue zircon is heat-treated to achieve its signature icy blue tone, a standard and stable treatment that has been used for decades. The result is a stone with exceptional optical clarity and a brilliance index higher than most other colored gemstones. In a 3mm bezel pendant, that brilliance concentrates into a single point of light at the collarbone, elegant and precise.
The bezel setting wraps a continuous rim of precious metal around the stone's perimeter, protecting the edges while keeping the face fully visible. It is the most protective setting style available for an everyday necklace. At 16inches, the chain positions the pendant where the stone's exceptional light dispersion can be appreciated at close range and across a room.
Why You'll Love It
- A natural 3mm blue zircon with exceptional fire and brilliance, an icy, luminous stone that refracts light more intensely than most colored gems.
- The bezel setting holds the stone securely for daily wear, with no prongs to catch or snag on clothing or other jewelry.
- The 16-inch chain sits at the collarbone and layers effortlessly with longer pendants and other necklaces.
- Available in 14K yellow, white, or rose gold and sterling silver, white gold and silver being particularly striking pairings for the stone's cool blue.
- One of December's birthstones, associated with wisdom, honor, and peaceful energy, and a gift that surprises people with its beauty.
