The Zircon stone must be distinguished from a rhinestone. A Rhinestone is strictly speaking a rock crystal from the river Rhine in Germany. Nowadays however most commercial rhinestones are made from acrylic or glass, with a layer of zinc oxide underneath them to create the illusion they are diamonds or zircons. Rhinestones are mass produced with swaroski being the largest mass manufacturer.
Also available is a zircons in glass pendant.
£6.95 - Add dazzle to any outfit with this round cut brilliant white zircon set in a sterling silver pendant.
Weighing 3.8 grams, this multi-faceted stone is 13mm in diameter. Six silver claws hold the stone firmly in place. With a depth of 7mm this pendant can quite easily be mistaken for a high end diamond pendant
