Our blue zircon stud earrings are set with genuine zircon.
Sometimes people confuse natural zircon with cubic zirconia. Natural zircon is a mineral and not cubic zirconia which is a man-made diamond simulant. Often found in south-east Asia, zircon comes in many colours including blue, yellow, white and a light peach/copper-like colour. A couple of ineresting facts about zircon. First, as I mentioned above, they are double refractive which means you will see double the amount of facets and double the amount of fire. Second, they have a radioactive trace element (it’s so slight it poses no health risk) which is kind of cool. If anyone has seen Star Trek Beyond, now you too can give your girlfriend radioactive jewellery, just like Spock!
They’re beautiful gemstones but not super durable so are best set in earrings or a pendant.
