Can you see what these "gems" are in the picture?

Don't guess glass, your glass has "hearts and arrows" (one of the diamond terminology)?

Some people will guess diamonds? Or is it a rhinestone (crystal diamond)?

......

No, they are actually zircon.

Zircon: Not a diamond!

The birthstone of December symbolizes success and wins.

In China, it is called zircon, and the Japanese call it "hyacinth stone" (Japanese people think that zircon is very rich in color, just like hyacinth, and its value is high, it is smaller than hyacinth), Westerners also call it "Ceylon Stone."

Gem-grade, natural, and zircon have strong gloss, high dispersion, and high hardness (7.5~8). There are many colors, such as colorless, blue, red, brown, yellow, green, etc., like diamonds, showing King Kong. Gloss, a transparent to translucent tetragonal system.

Westerners believe that different colors of zircon have different effects. For example, the high-quality variety "blue zircon" in zircon is considered to be of high value and has a strong ability to ward off evils and can drive away the plague.

In addition to blue zircon, white zircon is believed to give women a clean gas field; purple zircon is believed to enhance intuition and inspiration; pink zircon is believed to help women build perfect personality; green zircon is I think it can calm the mind; yellow zircon can awaken vitality, enhance the enterprising spirit and so on.

[è°£ è°£] Zircon is harmful to the human body?

Zircon is said to be radioactive on the Internet and harmful to the human body. It is purely rumor. The main component of zircon is zirconium silicate, which is classified into high-type zircon, medium-sized zircon and low-type zircon according to standards (refractive index, dispersion, hardness, etc.).

Only zircons with very poor transparency, due to the radioactive substances “uranium” and “clam” (the content is much lower than the safety factor), are extremely small and may be considered to cause damage to the human body. After the natural and high-quality zircon is jeweled, there is no damage to the human body. Please wear it with confidence.

Zircon: Brighter than diamonds!

After understanding what zircon is, will it still feel like a diamond? In fact, not only will you be mistaken, but experts will also be easy to see.

To distinguish the difference between zircon and diamond, you can see it like this:

Method 1: Use an oil-based pen to draw a stone on the stone to be tested (diamond oil-repellent water), and the smooth stroke is diamond, otherwise it is zircon.

Method 2: Make a straight line on the white paper and place the table top of the gemstone to be placed face down. Since the diamond has a high refractive index, no straight line can be seen, and zircon can be used.

Method 3: A pair of gems to be tested, a breath, the water vapor immediately evaporated is a diamond, otherwise it is zircon.

Method 4: Observing the gemstone to be tested with a magnifying glass, and looking down the face of the pavilion from the crown of the zircon, there will be a distinct "double shadow" phenomenon, and the diamond has only one edge.

【to sum up】

Natural zircon is rare and has a high value. It is generally not used to impersonate diamonds. The common zircon in the market is artificial zircon, also known as cubic zirconia.

If you can't determine which one is for diamonds and zircons, refer to the authoritative International Jewelry Appraisal Certificate, or take a re-examination before buying, so you can avoid buying optimized zircon.

Zircon: Is it worth it?

Gem grade · natural · zircon is not cheap artificial zircon, its value is relatively high, do not believe you look down ↓

In 2006, the number of artificial zircons traded in China reached 8 billion, accounting for more than 40% of the world's total zirconium market. Today, in the world of artificial zircon, gem-quality natural zircon has become a camphor.

The bishop of Judaism wore twelve gems on his chest, including zircon. Therefore, zircon is a religious gem that protects the wearer.

Ken Aiwei, the head of Avi Gem, said: "In the past, zircon was only a 'small gadget' known to jewellery collectors. Since the appearance of the Tucson Gem Jewelry Show, it has set off a new wave."

Eric Skuwitz, head of Payne Gem International, also said: "For the moment, the supply and price of small carat zircon are relatively stable, but large carats and excellent quality zircons (especially It is a popular blue zircon. After the snapped up, there has been a break in the supply chain, so as the supply continues to decrease, the price will continue to rise."
