The sparkliest chocolate zircon and diamond halo. With brown stones in this season - and chocolate diamonds a rage, this is a fabulous and amazing example of what else you could wear. This amazing oval zircon is the most delicious deep shade of chocolate brown that flashes the fieriest caramel sparkles as it moves in the sun. Set in a halo of natural white diamonds and in 14ct white gold, the whites really deepen that delicious chocolatey hue.
Zircons are often called "embers of time" because some of the oldest (found here in Australia) are approximately 4.4 billion years old (the same age as the earth). These amazing natural stones are the second most sparkly natural stones on the planet (after diamonds) and if you check out the videos on instagram you won't be disappointed.
The 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. This ring is captivating.
Surrounded by a claw set halo of 20 x 1.25mm round brilliant diamonds, this ring is a classic in its styling and effortlessly elegant. The 14ct white gold setting and band are lovely and chunky and this is a ring you can feel on your hand.

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 - it is par for the course.
