Cubic zirconia is a synthetic metal that resembles the diamonds a lot. In recent years, it has turned out to be the most sought out metal for jewelleries as it could be used in the place of diamonds. Apart from being its lookalike it is also very inexpensive. It is constantly getting used in jewelleries such as rings, bracelets, pendants and earrings. It is derived from the mixture of two metals zirconium oxide and yttrium which when melted together at the 2750C results to the formation of zirconia crystals. This experiment was conducted by German and Soviet scientists, and soon they got success in achieving this synthetic metal.CZ snake ringIt is a synthetic metal and is stimulated from its natural counterpart discovered in 1892. This counterpart is known as zirconium oxide but using this metal is impossible as it is very rare and thus cannot be used at a higher level due to profitable reasons. While a ring having cubic zirconia may not be as brilliantly shining as diamond still it can prove to be the best alternative for diamond and also far cheaper at the same time. Just splurge on your favourite designs of rings, earrings, bracelets and pendants and get this metal embedded on them. It would come out as beautiful and precious as a diamond.
If discuss about the clarity and beauty, this metal can be given a “D” grade according to the diamond scale that is used for clarity. CZ jewelry is very clear, flawless and crystalline. Although the metal is colourless in its original form, it can be formulated in any colour with the help of certain metal oxides which when added give you nearly all the colours that diamond can impart. This metal is very durable as it is harder than many known metals. It has a specific shine and it sparkles far brighter than any other crystal.
A Lehman can merely find any difference between the two elements, but sometimes it turns out to be a big pain for even professionals to find out which one is the actual diamond and which one is faking. There are few apparatuses that are needed to find out the difference between the two. Jewellers can easily count on this metal to gather a huge sum of money. All the women want to have is a diamond set, at least a small ring or an earring. When you have Cubic zirconia available at cheaper cost, why not try it once.
