Cubic Zirconia-perler med hull

Cubic zirconia is an affordable alternative to diamonds that looks just like them and comes in various colors and shapes.

Can an ordinary person tell the difference between diamonds and other gemstones? Probably. One key distinction is their respective fire: diamonds have more fire when light hits them at certain angles.

1. It’s Indistinguishable from a Real Diamond

Cubic zirconia is an attractive diamond alternative that’s nearly indiscernible from real diamonds to an untrained eye. Used as jewellery pieces like necklaces, earrings and bracelets it also makes a fantastic choice for rings.

The main distinction between diamonds and cubic zirconia lies in how their stones reflect and refract light. While diamonds refract white light with impressive force, CZ can produce rainbow-like sparkles when illuminated due to how its crystals are manufactured; some coated CZ diamonds may even reduce this flashes of colour to better mimic the sparkle and fire of genuine diamonds.

One quick and simple way to tell whether or not a piece of jewellery is authentic is to weigh it. Loose diamonds will quickly settle due to their superior density over other non-diamond gems like quartz and glass; on the other hand, CZ pieces tend to float since they’re much lighter.

Use the fog test to identify whether your stone is real. For this, take it outside to an environment that’s relatively cool and blow on it; if it fogs up and clears instantly, that suggests a diamond, while anything taking 30 seconds or longer typically indicates CZ pieces.

2. It’s Highly Durable

Cubic zirconia boasts a Mohs scale hardness rating of 8.5-9/10, making it highly durable and more resistant to wear than real diamond. Crystal, however, is considerably more fragile due to being cut by hand or machine with many facets for extra sparkle and gleam, plus having lead added during its melting state – which increases fragility significantly and leads to more likely breakages than cubic zirconia.
