CZ: It’s a Discovery

 There are several reasons why one may choose to purchase Cubic Zirconia (CZ) over the traditional diamond or other precious gems or metals.  Yet there are still some people skeptical about this wonderful alternative, especially when looking at fine jewelry such as engagement rings, earrings, or necklaces.  There are many advantages to choosing CZ that these people should be aware of before dismissing this alternative gemstone.

One of the advantages that many already know about is that CZ is usually more affordable than diamonds or other gemstones that are commonly used within fine jewelry pieces. This is a man-made product, which is why it is less expensive than the natural occurring diamond or gemstone.

Another advantage of CZ is that because it is man-made those who manufacture it can ensure consumers less imperfections inside or on the surface of this makeshift gem.  Jewelers can also manufacture CZ to be more colorless, which is usually the staple of a high quality diamond.  Lastly, diamonds are often shaped by the earthly processes of high pressure and high heat underneath the Earth’s crust, which can cause several imperfections including oddly shaped stones.  With CZ this does not happen, you will get the shape you purchase!

Many people dismiss CZ because it is not the traditional diamond, but this would be a mistake.  Those looking for a more affordable option, as well as less inclusions and a more colorless gem, should look into the discovery that is CZ!
