1.31ct Natural Caramel Zircon and Old Cut White Zircon Trilogy Ring, 9ct Gold, size N1/2 or just under 7, 3.72g

A trilogy of zircons - each with a tale to tell. The pinky caramel centre zircon comes from a collection of stones that two gentlemen built up over 30 years. Travelling the country, fossicking and cutting these amazing stones remain a legacy of what the Australian bush and some grit & determination can produce. Most will remain as a collection, but a few will be lucky enough to get set - like this beauty. 

The side stones - are natural old cut white zircons - look at those rustic facets and open culets - and these came with the ring. The original centre stone was a sapphire (dark and included) and we are so thrilled that we could replace it with a third zircon of the most marvellous sparkle and those molten pinky caramel hues. Zircons are some of the sparkliest natural stones in the world - and some of the oldest- particularly the Australian ones - and we love the knowledge that these stones have been around for literally billions of years.

Claw set in white gold, and on the chunkiest of yellow gold bands we love the colour combination and what the richness of that band does to the colour of that stone.

This ring came to us with an independent valuation for $1950 when it had an included centre sapphire stone - which will be provided with the purchase as part of its history.

Stones - natural zircons - 6.2mm round 1.31ct and 2 x3mm old cut white zircons 

Hallmarks  "375" 

Condition - new centre stone with some facet scratches, old cut side stones have facet wear you would expect with age, light wear to metal 

Care - As a general rule - jewellery should not be worn for strenuous tasks that may put pressure, chemicals and weight on them (think cleaning, gym, carrying things). Jewellery should be checked every six months by a jeweller to check for wear. Zircons are only a 7 on the Mohs scale - so zircons will over their lifetime get facet wear - and particularly around the girdle here - it is par for the course.
