Why choose cubic zirconia for engagement and wedding rings?
Cubic zirconia (CZ) offers a diamond-like appearance at a fraction of the cost, making it an attractive option for those who want the look of a luxurious gemstone without the high price tag.
How does cubic zirconia compare to diamonds in terms of appearance?
While CZ mimics the color, clarity, and brilliance of diamonds, it is much more affordable, allowing for larger, more extravagant designs at a budget-friendly cost.
What is the durability of cubic zirconia in daily wear?
CZ ranks 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, making it reasonably durable but more prone to scratches compared to diamonds, requiring careful handling and storage.
How do you care for cubic zirconia jewelry to maintain its sparkle?
Clean cubic zirconia with a mild detergent and a soft cloth, avoid rough handling, and store it in a fabric-lined box to protect it from scratches.
