{"product_id":"zircon","title":"Zircon - Round Facet","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"394\"\u003eThis one off sparkling faceted Zircon gemstone measures approximately 4.7mm across with a depth of around 3.2mm, offering a beautifully balanced size that delivers exceptional brilliance in a delicate scale. Cut in a classic round faceted shape, this stone displays lively flashes of light and remarkable fire, often rivaling the sparkle of diamond thanks to Zircon’s naturally high refractive index.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"396\" data-end=\"728\"\u003eDepending on the individual stone, Zircon may show soft champagne, warm honey, icy clear, or faintly silvery tones, all enhanced by the precision of the faceted cut. As the stone moves, light dances across the surface with vivid flashes and depth, giving these small gems a surprisingly luxurious presence despite their petite size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"730\" data-end=\"1054\"\u003eTheir versatile round shape makes them ideal for fine rings, elegant earrings, delicate pendants, or clustered accent settings where brilliance and movement are desired. These stones pair beautifully with both sterling silver and gold settings, adapting easily to classic, vintage-inspired, or contemporary jewellery styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1i7rm9v\" data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1081\"\u003eKey Properties \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1083\" data-end=\"1281\"\u003eZircon is a natural gemstone prized for its exceptional brilliance, strong light dispersion, and rich optical character.
