Purchased in the 1950s by our company founder, Walter Arnstein, this zircon has an illustrious narrative woven into the very fabric of our family's history. Walter's vision and passion for gemstones led him to acquire this exceptional piece, acknowledging its unique characteristics and origin.

For over five decades, this gemstone has been kept away from the market, preserving its legacy and enhancing its rarity.
