The Zircon thread

[imdoubler]

Gorgeous stone Imdoubler!!!
I love a luscious green. Is it a stone from Jim McCormick? Great find!

Yes it was from him. He has some nice green zircons. I really like zircon and I'm looking for a red one.

I get on some of the vendor sites fairly regularly, what size, hue and tone are you looking for? Off the top of my hear I believe Precision Gems has a fairly large one.

I want something either pinkish red or orangeish red. My inspiration is the red zircon ring owned by briolette.

I have this one on the way to me to check.

Is this the one you refer?

I love it's size but it's a bit too dark I guess.

Yes that's the one. Wildfish Gems has some in the color range and size your interested in. This one is too dark for what your looking for but I'll post it as eye candy anyway http://kosnargemco.com/listing/385565946/rich-deep-cranberry-red-zircon-from

Nice find! If the other one won't work out I might request this one to check in person.

Careful with the prongs Picante. Could you ask your jeweller for advice?
Would it be possible to set your zircon in a relatively cheap setting so you will have 2 rings

Thank you, Acinom! I will have to think about setting possibilities...
How are you enjoying your new rings?

The zircon just arrived and it is beautiful! Even in my not so flattering office lighting, it is so vibrant! It is hard to capture it in a picture, though!

Everything about this zircon is beautiful!! I love the plump cushion shape and the color is gorgeous.

Two zircons from Jeff Davies. I'm keeping the top one only.

Both are 4.02 ct, but with slightly different dimensions. One is larger and brighter with lighter tone, the bottom one has more intense color tone but smaller proportions. Both are very nice but the top one is what I've been looking for.
- 8.73x7.21x5.56mm
- 8.30x6.88x6.03mm

Gorgeous stone! I love the top one as well. It is the color I'm after.
Could you post a Jeff's pic of the top one? I have difficulty read the color of his pic.

Great choice Mochiko!
I prefer the top one as well. What a beautiful and vivid colour. Any ideas on hoe you will set it?

Here's the picture of the top one (the one with larger mm and lighter tone). I don't have a vendor photo of the other one.

I too prefer the top one that is lighter and broader.

Good choice, and I look forward to seeing the finished ring.

Wow! You were so right from the start. The zircon does so much magic in this setting. It looks so vibrant!
Looking forward to admire more pics in your thread.
Enjoy wearing your beauty. As you know I am a huge fan of this ring. We will not be ring sisters with this ring so I will enjoy looking at your pics even more.

Picante it's gorgeous! I bought a zircon from Roger a couple of months ago. He is fantastic and such a nice person.

 

[Acinom]

Beautiful stone PG Gems. Is it your personal piece?

And....... one of "our" zircons is now Jewel of the Week. Congratulations Niel with your stunning find

 

[Niel]

Nice to see zircons getting so much love!

My brown zircon is set. I am not sure about the window issue. In person it does not really look like the picture... humm...

What an elegant and playful setting! Have you received the ring yet? Looking forward to see more photo's.

 

[Vesper]

@Acinom I have not. It is was finished today and is being shipped. I can't wait to get it. I have had a picture saved for years of a ring like it and am finally able to get it made.

 

[Vesper]

It came!

 

[Arcadian]

It came!

Oh wow, nice! I love this!!! Deets?

 

[Vesper]

It is a 7x8mm brown zircon. The diamonds are color F and has VS clarity. It was made by a man off of etsy. The profile is really low which I like.

 

[theredspinel]

Gorgeous vesper. Does it swing all the way around the shank?

Alas it does not. I am a little bummed about that but I think the stone will hold up better in the long run since it can only swing about half way out.

My red zircon is set.

 

[mochiko42]

My zircon is set!

Beautiful new additions!

There is quite a variety in blue zircon colours alone. I have made some comparison pics of my green/ blue zircon.
- my teal blue zircon in Victor Canera has the colour of the North Sea in Europa with it mid blue, slightly teal colour. This stone almost always looks good. The colour never bores or disappoints.
- my greenish zircon in simple RG Alistair Kelsey solitaire is green to blue, dependent on the light. At best it looks a stunning mermaid green. At worst it sometimes looks a bit dull, especially when I did not clean the ring.
- my bright blue zircon in Alistair Kelsey baguette ring is always bright blue and super sparkly. This is the most vibrant of the three.

My blue sapphire is seen in some of the pics

Some more...
The greenish zircon is the most difficult to photograph
