About Cubic Zirconia |
||
Cubic Zirconia is undoubtedly the best diamond simulate available today. Cubic Zirconia has successfully established itself as the high quality and affordable diamond substitute in today's fashionable jewelry market. The untrained and naked eye cannot distinguish the difference between a real diamond and Cubic Zirconia. Even gemologists cannot tell the difference unless various testing and examination is done. Two German mineralogists discovered the cubic form of zirconium oxide back in 1937. Russian scientists in the mid 1970's learned how to make this mineral in a laboratory. It wasn't until the 1980's when Cubic Zirconia became popular with jewelers. This is when an Austrian company began mass-producing Cubic Zirconia. Since then, with new developments in Cubic Zirconia production, we have been able to produce a new exciting line in many different colors. Cubic Zirconia is an incredible hard material similar that of a real diamond and with the introduction of color, it has great potential as a gem to fulfill elegant fashion demand at a fraction of the cost. The composition of this man made product is typically a combination of Zirconium Oxide and Yttrium Oxide both of which are opaque by nature. But when melted together under intense heat reaching almost 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit and then cooled under controlled conditions, they produce what we call Cubic Zirconia. Cubic Zerconia is colorless in its pure state. The various colors are achieved by mixing in small quantities of chemical additives. |
