Why Cubic Zirconia

The same friends who worry about wearing silver jewelry also question the value of Cubic Zirconia. It is true that Cubic Zirconia is a manmade gemstone. But it is that very fact that makes it such a great gemstone for jewelry.

In this day and age, almost any gemstone you see in the store has been created or modified by man. Almost any ruby, sapphire, or emerald is manmade in a lab. Meanwhile, citrine and topaz, while having been mined from the earth, are irridated to improve their color. Cubic Zirconia is no different.

It is true that diamonds are naturally occurring, but it is almost impossible to get a clear white diamond. Most diamonds have some sort of yellowish cast. Also, affordable diamonds available in the stores have flaws. Also, fancy colored diamonds, like pink and blue, are nearly impossible to find, and no one but the most wealthy can even begin to afford them.

This is what makes Cubic Zirconias so wonderful. Since they are created, they are perfectly formed, with no flaws. And Cubic Zirconias can come in a wide variety of colors, all of which are clear, with no muddiness or yellowing. The white CZ's are brilliant and clear. The pinks, blues, and yellows are deep and purely colored stones. What's more, Cubic Zirconias actually have more flash than any diamond.

So, if you are looking for beautiful gemstone jewelry, consider Cubic Zirconia. It is both brilliant and affordable!
