This breathtaking Edwardian ring pairs the warm glow of 10k rose gold with the vivid brilliance of a natural blue zircon—a gemstone prized for its exceptional fire and vibrant color.
Dating to 1915, the ring features a beautifully cut blue zircon, its electric teal-blue hue catching the light with every movement. Blue zircon was a favorite in the early 20th century, often mistaken for diamond due to its remarkable brilliance, yet prized in its own right for its depth of color. By the 1880s, blue zircon was a fashionable gem, and by the late 19th century, gemologists were actively promoting its virtues for the jewelry market. This ring is a stunning example of antique elegance and timeless design—perfect as a unique engagement ring, heirloom piece, or special gift.
