Fashion is a very interesting thing! Every now and then something becomes popular and everyone just follow the trend. These trends usually come and go quickly. However, there's a jewelry product that has been on the road to popularity for quite a while and as time goes by, people seem to like them more and more. This type of jewelry is CZ jewelry. They are quickly taking over the jewelry market.
CZ (cubic zirconia) is the crystalline form of zirconium dioxide, which is another way of saying it's a synthetic man-made diamond. Very similar to a genuine diamond, it is most often clear and it sparkles. The whiter and more clear the stone, the more valuable it is considered. Five-star AAAAA is the highest-quality. The cut though, may be slightly different compare to diamond. Cubic Zirconia’s cuts are smoother and more rounded.
For a long period of time, jewelers and scientists around the world have tried to find ways to use other materials to substitute real diamonds, something more affordable for common people. Then in 1960's, French scientists succeeded in creating CZ crystals. It was a big step; however, the crystals were too small to be popular. In 1970s Russian scientists found and introduced a method called “skull crucible”, and this made a revolutionary change in the history of Cubic Zirconia stones. Around 1976, couple years after the method was adopted, mass production of Cubic Zirconia stones officially began.
It took almost a full 100 years to get to the stage in science where diamonds-alike could be replicated! Now CZ jewelries are available almost in every jewelry store, what are you waiting for?
