When your budget is limited and it seemed that you cannot really afford those valuable diamonds and real stones no matter how hard you try, fear not. Cubic zirconia exists to save you from making a big slash from your savings. Cubic zirconia is a really good and quality imitation of those genuine gems. If it's carefully well-crafted, it would look no different from those authentic stones, minus the hefty price. So you would technically feel the same enjoyment in owning a loose cubic zirconia jewelry as with other gems. Ornaments studded with CZ stones can be perfect for giving or receiving any occasion such as anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, surprise gifts, valentine gift and more. Properties in Cubic zirconia-
Cubic zirconia is crystallographically isometric, which is an important attribute of a would-be diamond simulant. During synthesis zirconium oxide would naturally form monoclinic crystals, its stable form under normal atmospheric conditions. The amount of stabilizer used is dependent on the variations of the many recipes of each of the individual manufacturers. Zirconia has the specific chemical formula ZrO2; this material however will not crystallize in the cubic system through normal syntheses. Because of the variation in density, the weight of a cubic zirconia stone differs from the weight of a diamond. Comparing to diamonds, cubic zirconia is 1.7 times denser. Loose cubic zirconia is a jewelry stone for everyone- If someone is trying to stay within a tight budget, cubic zirconia is an excellent option. The other great reason is that with CZ, you can get any shape or cut of stone and in any carat weight for an incredibly affordable deal. Purchasing loose cz stones is an excellent way to upgrade your existing jewelry collection. It is a good idea to purchase loose gemstones if you are wanting to upgrade a ring, replace a lost stone and you have an empty setting or if you have a chipped or damaged stone that needs replacing. |
