Is cubic zirconia a diamond?
No, cubic zirconia is not a diamond. Cubic zirconia (CZ) is a synthetic gemstone made from zirconium dioxide. It is designed to mimic the appearance of a diamond but differs in several ways:
Composition: Unlike diamonds, which are composed of carbon, cubic zirconia is made from zirconium dioxide.
Hardness: CZ is softer than diamonds, ranking 8-8.5 on the Mohs scale, whereas diamonds rank 10.
Brilliance and Fire: While CZ has a high level of brilliance and fire, it almost looks identical, it lacks the unique refractive qualities of diamonds.
Cost: Cubic zirconia is significantly less expensive than diamonds, making it a popular alternative for budget-conscious shoppers.
