The exquisite greenish-blue zircons in this pair of earrings will be the envy of everyone with whom you come in contact. Their uniquely bold color is intensified when paired with dozens of glimmering white diamonds and set in 18 Kt white gold. These earrings are designed to showcase the extraordinary zircons so they reflect light and sparkle brilliantly as you move. Not to be confused with cubic zirconia, a zircon stone is a fiery, transparent gemstone which has been around for centuries, being particularly popular in Victorian times and frequently mistaken for diamond.
GORDON'S DESIGN NOTES: "When visiting the shop of my trusted supplier, Darvesh, in Bangkok, I was immediately struck by the unusual color of these zircon gemstones. The hint of green in the brilliant blue hue, coupled with the fire in the stones captivated me. I knew immediately I had to create a design that allowed these gemstones to stand out and not allow the eye to be distracted away."
