Does Briolite scratch like cubic zirconia?
Genuine Briolite does not scrath like cubic zirconia, nor does it fog up when you breathe on it. The reason for it is this: SYNTHETIC GEMSTONES are identical to a natural gemstone in almost every way. This includes the same basic crystal structure, refractive index, specific gravity, chemical composition, colours, and other characteristics. Since the same gemological tests are used for stone identification on both natural and synthetic gems, it is sometimes even possible for a gemologist to be puzzled as to whether or not a stone is natural or synthetic. When this occurs, the best course of action is to send the stone to an accredited gem laboratory, like the Gemological Institute of America. They can positively determine whether a stone is synthetic or naturally occuring. Only minor internal characteristics allow separation of a synthetic gemstone from a natural gemstone. IMITATION GEMSTONES merely imitate the color or look of a natural stone. They can be made out of anything. A Cubic Zirconia or Moissanite are IMITATION diamonds, for example. A blue piece of glass could be an imitation sapphire. A variety of blue synthetic forsterite is an excellent imitation for tanzanite, while chemically, it's composition is much closer to the yellowish green peridot. Another classic example is the "alexandrite" set in many jewelry pieces is actually a variety of vanadium colored synthetic sapphire!

If you suspect you have a diamond, it's best to have it professionally assessed by a gemologist.
How does the price of a cubic zirconia ring compare to a diamond ring?

What is a cubic zirconia necklace?
Cubic Zirconia is a synthesized stone that has relatively low cost and is the leading competitor for diamonds. they are usually colorless but can be made of many colors.
Does cubic zirconia emit radiation?
Cubic zirconia itself does not emit radiation. However, some cubic zirconia may have been treated with radiation or other processes to enhance its color, so it's important to know the origins of the specific stone you have to ensure it is safe.
Is stone manmade?
No. Stone is natural. We mine certain types of rock for natural resources.

Is American diamond a natural stone?

Do cubic zirconia's sink in water?
Cubic zirconia is a dense material, so it will typically sink in water. However, if the stone is small or cut in a specific way that affects its density, it may float in water. But as a general rule, cubic zirconia will sink in water.
What does 925CZ mean on jewelry?

What is cubic zirconia?
* A man-made substitute for diamonds. It is much closer to the physical characteristics of a real diamond than other imitations. * Cubic zirconia (also known simply as 'cz') is the finest available alternative to a diamond. This is because it has many of the properties of a diamond. It has the same shape and colour and, like a diamond, cannot be scratched by dirt or sand. Most people, even trained gemmologists, cannot tell the difference between a well-cut cubic zirconia stone and a diamond using only the naked eye. There are, however, differences between diamonds and cubic zirconia. Although in appearance cubic zirconia looks just like a good quality diamond, it is more dense than a diamond - weighing up to 60% more than a diamond of the same size. In addition, it is of note that cubic zirconia is a man made crystal. If, therefore, a piece of cubic zirconia is not perfect, it is discarded. Only the highest grade and most beautifully polished cubic zirconia stones are used throughout our silver jewellery collection. We believe that cubic zirconia is not merely a diamond substitute but a beautiful semi-precious gem in its own right. Given proper cleaning, cubic zirconia will retain its beauty and brilliance for years. Cubic zirconia jewellery can be cleaned easily using hot soapy water or warm water with a small amount of dishwashing detergent. It might help to first remove any dirt with an old toothbrush.
