This exquisite pendant has been beautifully crafted to express the joy of giving - not just during the holidays but all year long. Our skilled artisans have specially selected a crimson-red Zircon gemstone to be the "heart” of this stunning pendant. Zircon is a naturally occurring gem that is one of the oldest mineral crystals known to man. Generally found in mines located around the Indian Ocean, the Zircon should never be confused with the cubic zarconia, which is created in a laboratory. A true Zircon is a luminous gemstone, cherished among jewelers for its brilliant color and complex refractive qualities that give a properly cut stone the appearance of fire. The delightful, gift-shaped pendant is beautifully sculpted with a charming bow on top. At the center of this exquisite pendant is a genuine Zircon gemstone. The large gem is .51" x .55" and has been expertly handcut in a multifaceted emerald shape to accent its magnificent crimson color. The setting is plated in pure rhodium - a type of platinum found only in the finest pieces of jewelry - to give it a brilliant and durable finish. The pendant comes with a FREE rhodiumplated box chain and is handsomely presented ina jeweler's gift box, making it an ideal present for the holidays.
