A very nicely neat and pretty vintage solitaire ring of Blue Starlight Zircon set with hand cut and shaped Platinum shoulders. All hand crafted with 9ct Yellow Gold to the band as was the standard at the time.
The Zircon has a similar refractive index to the Diamond and so is immensely glittersome; in this case treated with heat to create this distinctive pale blue colour which was know as 'Starlight'.
'The earliest known reference to blue zircon is from 1927 when Dr. George Frederick Kunz spoke about "the newly popular Starlite zircon" in a lecture to the New York Mineralogical Club. However, the process of treating brown zircon from Cambodia to create blue zircon was likely discovered sometime between 1904 and 1927.'
Stones: Blue Zircon
Metal: 9ct yellow Gold to the band and Platinum to the shoulders. Marked with a workshop stamp '9CT' inside the band.
