Electric blue zircons, glowing somewhere between tropical sea and peacock feather, became the stones of choice for women who wanted their jewels to shimmer with personality. This ring feels like it belonged to one of them, a woman stepping from a motorcar into the bright lights of a hotel lobby in Monte Carlo, her laughter carrying over the sound of jazz and champagne glasses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDating to about 1920, this Edwardian era ring is crafted in 18 karat gold with platinum topped shoulders and set with a vivid natural blue zircon weighing approximately 4.07 carats. The zircon measures 9 by 9 by 6 millimeters and displays the extraordinary brilliance and lively fire that made fine zircons so coveted in the early twentieth century. Eight accent diamonds sparkle along the platinum shoulders, adding delicate flashes of light around the richly colored center stone. The ring is a size 6.3 US. It measures 7 millimeters north to south at the face, 9.6 millimeters across, and stands 7 millimeters from the finger. The band measures 1.6 millimeters in width and the ring weighs 3.87 grams. It is hallmarked “18ct.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is something wonderfully unexpected about antique zircon. So many people have never seen one in person, and then suddenly they do, and nothing else quite compares. The color is alive, almost impossibly vivid, with flashes that shift from deep lagoon blue to bright Caribbean water depending on the light. Combined with the delicate platinum detailing and glittering diamonds, this ring captures that fleeting moment between Edwardian refinement and Art Deco glamour, when jewelry became bolder, brighter, and endlessly more exciting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI offer free layaway on most items purchased for full retail price, please inquire if you are interested in setting up a layaway.
