There are many differences in weight, refraction, and clarity. Also zirconia are manmade and diamonds are naturally occuring.

Is zirconium made for diamonds?
Not zirconium (the metal) but the zirconium dioxide - ZrO2 (crystallized in cubic form) is very similar as appearance to diamond.
Are all manufactured diamonds cubic zirconia?
Diamonds manufactured from carbon (C) are diamonds. Cubic zirconia is a form of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), which is a different mineral
Are the diamonds real if it says cz inside the ring?
cz means cubic zirconium... so the answer is NO
What is the difference of a diamond and diamond aura?
Diamond Aura is the name of a SIMULATED diamond, NOT a synthetic diamond. Natural diamonds and synthetic (cultured) diamonds are identical in being made of pure carbon highly compressed with a hardness of 10. Cultured diamonds cost from 2/3 to 3/4 the price of natural diamonds. SIMULATED diamonds are NOT made of pure carbon. Cubic Zirconium (zirconium dioxide with hardness 8.5) and Mossanite (silicon carbide with hardness 9.25) are simulated diamonds and cost vastly less than natural or cultured diamonds. Diamond Aura stones have a hardness of 8.5, which suggests that they are cubic zirconium.
Can a regular person tell the difference between a diamond and a Cubic Zirconia?
Even with magnification, no. There are so many variations in diamonds that untrained individuals would not know what to look for. Cubic zirconia (CZ, zirconium dioxide) is similar to natural zircons (zirconium silicate). Some distinctions include weight (CZ is heavier), clarity (most CZ have no imperfections), and prism refraction (most CZ disperse light more than diamonds).
Is lindenwold diamonds real?
Lindenwold CZ diamonds are cubic zirconia, formed from zirconium dioxide. diamonds are formed from carbon. Directly, Lindenwold CZ diamonds are real CZ diamonds.
What does the marking CZ on a ring mean?
The stones are not diamonds, but Cubic Zirconium (synthetic man made stones).
What do you call a phony diamond?
Zirconium or Cubic Zirconium
Can cubic zirconium scratch glass?
Yes, because is very hard - The Mohs hardness is 8. The correct name is zirconium dioxide (with the chemical formula ZrO2) - crystallized in the cubic form, not cubic zirconium (zirconium, Zr, is the metal).
Are CZ real diamonds?
No. Cubic Zirconium is a man-made crystal resembling a diamond. Some brand names are very close to the properties of a real diamond and some are not.
How can chemical symbols show that cubic zircon is not a diamond?
You'd find out what cubic zirconia is conposed of, and compare it to what diamonds are composed of, and since they are composed of different things, their chemical symbols will be different.
What are the differences between a diamond necklace and a cubic zirconia necklace?
The differences between a diamond and a cubic zirconia necklaces are the differences in the precious rocks used. What makes the difference in the necklace are the properties of the diamond and a cubic zirconia. The diamonds is stiffer and lighter and obviously more expensive.
