High-quality CZ is engineered for maximum light performance and durability:
: Rated at 0.058 to 0.066 , which actually exceeds diamond (0.044). This results in a "rainbow effect" of colorful flashes when exposed to light. CZ JEWELRY GEMSTONE
: Ranks 8.0 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, making it harder than most semi-precious gems and durable enough for everyday wear. High-quality CZ is engineered for maximum light performance
CZ is typically graded on an scale based on its cut, clarity, and color: CZ is typically graded on an scale based
: Ranges between 2.15 and 2.18 , providing a high level of brilliance similar to diamond (2.42).
: Significantly heavier than diamond, with a specific gravity of 5.6 to 6.0 (roughly 1.7 times that of diamond). 2. Grading and Quality Standards
Cubic Zirconia (CZ) is the most popular diamond simulant, valued for its exceptional brilliance, affordability, and ethical, lab-grown origin. Unlike natural diamonds, which are carbon-based, CZ is the cubic crystalline form of . 1. Key Technical Specifications
