CZ- the Sparkling Alternative to Diamonds

If diamonds are a girl’s best friend and you find yourself friendless, there is still hope, and its name is Cubic Ziconia (CZ).

Cubic zirconia is an inexpensive diamond substitute which was first

produced commercially in 1976. Created in the laboratory, these stones resemble flawless white diamonds since they are almost always colorless and perfectly shaped.

Cubic zirconia can be evaluated using the same qualities that diamonds and other gemstones are graded by the 4 C’s: Cut, Clarity, Color, Carat weight.

·         Cut (the shape): round, oval, pear, emerald, heart, princess.

·         Clarity: how well light refracts through the stone.

·         Color: how close to colorless the stone is.

·         Carat weight: 1.00 carat (ct) equals 100 points.

Today CZ’s enjoy status as a gemological competitor to diamonds. CZ’s are  available in a wide variety of colors such as pink, amethyst, blue and yellow, mirroring the trend of colored diamonds.

 So, while diamonds are beautiful, rare and expensive, CZ’s are BEAUTIFUL, ABUNDANT and  AFFORDABLE. Fill your world with the glimmer of diamonds at a fraction of the cost with CZ’s (a girl’s best kept secret!).
