Advantages of Cubic Zirconia over Diamond
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, but who wouldn't want to own a gemstone more beautiful than a diamond? Cubic zirconia (CZ) is a synthetic gemstone that offers several advantages over diamonds while retaining its diamond-like appearance and significantly reducing cost.
What many people don't understand is that cubic zirconia (also known as CZ, synthetic diamonds, diamond simulants, or artificial diamonds) is nearly indistinguishable from diamonds. In fact, with the naked eye, even a professional jeweler cannot tell the difference between a diamond and cubic zirconia.
Cubic zirconia is a synthetic crystal made in a laboratory. This brings the most important benefit to CZ. Since it's not mined like diamonds, you don't have to worry about your gemstone being a "conflict stone", i.e. stone mined using slave-like labor in war-torn countries (common in the diamond trade).
Like a diamond, cubic zirconia has a high hardness and is therefore very durable. Unlike diamonds, CZ gemstones are optically flawless. Compared to diamonds, CZ diamonds are graded F on the Diamond Clarity Scale - the highest diamond rating reserved for the rarest and most expensive diamonds in the world. Cubic zirconia gemstones also have an exceptional fire, gemstone brilliance, or sparkle. Unlike diamonds, CZ gemstones can be manufactured in a variety of colors, including colorless (or white), such as diamond, pink, blue, orange, green, champagne, and purple are all common CZ colors.
CZs have no fissures that could make them prone to cracks and chips. However, cubic zirconia is not as hard as diamond, with a Mohs scale of 8.5, while diamond has a Mohs scale of 10.0. CZ gems are very durable - but they can break.
Given its many advantages and superior cost, cubic zirconia is an excellent substitute for diamonds, just like diamonds; you can find them in wedding rings, engagement rings, earrings, eternity rings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, and other forms of jewelry find them.
