Zircon glitters like a diamond

White gold and zircon - a precious metal and a precious stone – are traditional materials used in jewellery production. Contemporary jewellery is always on the lookout for alternatives, especially artificial stones. There are many reasons, such as a lower price making jewellery more affordable for more customers. Manufacturers can also offer a wider range of colour shades. At first glance, even an expert cannot tell the difference between a precious and artificial gemstone.

Gemstones are made in laboratory conditions to produce perfect optically flawless results without cracks or foreign bodies. Synthetic zirconium is formed by mixing zirconium oxide and yttrium oxide. They are made as an ideal alternative to genuine diamonds. Jewellers have quickly found a wide range of uses for synthetic zirconium, not only because of its optical properties but also due to its hardness which is only slightly less than ruby and sapphire. In addition, they have a distinctive brilliance of light, which is more pronounced the deeper the zircons are.

When the engagement ring is made of gold

Gold is not only valued and used only in jewellery. Due to its unique properties, it is an excellent conductor of both electricity and heat, it is stainless, does not lose colour or shine and is resistant to chemicals.

 Ancient civilizations connected gold and its natural, bright yellow colour, to the sun they worshipped for providing heat and life. They believed a piece of gold could give its owner the characteristics of the sun – power and immortality.

Today, gold is still one of the most commonly used metals in jewellery but different alloys are used. Pure gold is too soft, so it is not suitable, so other metals are added to it which affect the colour and properties of the resulting alloy. The most commonly used are silver, copper, zinc, palladium and nickel. The gold content of a given alloy is indicated by carats with pure gold being 24 carats. Individual alloys differ in gold content and the relative ratios of metals added. In jewellery 14 or 18-carat gold is normally used. 14ct gold contains 585 parts of pure gold and 415 parts of other metals, usually silver, nickel or palladium.

White gold is today's choice

In jewellery, as in all fashions, trends change. Whether it be the design, the choice of materials or their combinations. The emergence of white gold has allowed modern manufacturing technologies to be employed when creating new ranges of jewellery. White gold is a modern gold alloy that has quickly found its way from jewellers to customers. As the name implies, white metals such as silver, zinc, palladium and nickel are used. White gold jewellery maintains the luxurious look of gold while bringing the delicacy, elegance and purity associated with white. By using white gold, jewellers are not so tied to the traditions of their field and can provide customers with new and interesting jewellery designs, such as this modern take on the classic and timeless engagement ring.
