What is cubic zirconia?
Cubic zirconia (or cz for short) is extremely rare in nature. Cubic zirconia is a mineral that is synthesized and used to simulate diamonds and it was first discovered in 1892. Because of its startling diamond-like appearance and affordable price tag, cubic zirconia jewellery highly popular.
Like a diamond, it's extremely tough and hard with a smelting point of is 2750 degrees centigrade. It also weighs about 65% more than diamond and it's optically flawless and usually completely colourless. However, it can be coloured.
Cubic zirconia versus real diamonds.
When we talk of gemstones, 'dispersion' refers to the ability of a mineral to split light into distinct wavelengths, creating a prism of colours. Because cubic zirconia has a higher dispersion rate than diamond, when light shines on the cz, it brilliantly sparkles with many colours that are refracted in its crystalline structure. Though extremely attractive, it outshines a diamond in this sense - potentially a giveaway.
Reasons to buy CZ jewellery.
Spend a fortune on the diamond ring you always wanted and you can't wear it out on the town without worrying about its immense value. Or you could simply treat yourself to a stunning CZ ring and still look like a million dollars.
