Zircon FAQs

What is zircon, and how is it different from cubic zirconia?

Zircon is a natural gemstone that comes in a range of colors, including blue, yellow, and red. It should not be confused with cubic zirconia, a manmade diamond simulant. Zircon is known for its brilliance and fire, often rivaling diamond. Antique zircon jewelry is especially valued for old cuts and natural, untreated stones.

Is zircon durable for jewelry use?

Zircon ranks 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, so while it has great sparkle, it’s not as durable as sapphire or spinel. It should be worn with care, particularly in rings that get frequent wear. Earrings, pendants, and brooches are safer ways to enjoy zircon’s beauty in estate pieces.

How should I clean zircon jewelry?

Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners, as zircon is heat-sensitive and can fracture. Dry thoroughly and store in a padded box away from harder gems to prevent scratches. Periodic professional inspection is wise for antique zircon jewelry.

Why is zircon valued in estate and vintage jewelry?

Zircon’s intense sparkle and range of colors made it a favorite during the Victorian and Art Deco eras. Collectors love its brilliance and rarity, especially in natural, untreated form. Estate zircon jewelry offers timeless appeal and is an affordable alternative to more common gemstones.
