CZ Jewelry VS Diamond

Women all love sparkle jewelry like diamond, but not all of us could afford to buy those stunning stones. So man made jewelry is kind of created for this. When going for sparkle in an economic downturn, cubic zirconia (CZ) might be chosen for a special gift--earrings, bracelets and rings--to a promise, engagement or wedding ring. It appears chic as well as it is quite affordable too.

So what is the difference between diamond and cubic zirconia? Why is cubic zirconia (CZ) quickly becoming more popular as a desirable substitute for diamond? Gemologists can agree that CZ comes closer than any other gem material to matching the characteristics of a diamond.

Weight. CZs are heavyweights in comparison to diamonds; a CZ will weigh approximately 1.75 times more than a diamond of equivalent size. So basically, a piece of CZ the same size as a one-carat diamond weighs about 1.75 carats.

Color. Though a CZ sparkle is colorful, the stone is always white. This is rare in diamonds. Colorless diamonds are extremely rare and more expensive. Diamonds will almost always have a yellow tint to them. Even nearly colorless diamonds--more expensive diamonds that are a little less rare--still have yellow in them. The more yellow, the lower the cost.

Others. Like size, cz jewelry has a large rank of size and is usually bigger than diamonds; and shape and cutting, cubic zirconia could be design in different shape which is so attractived.
