Our cubic zirconia shop features 15 pieces of CZ jewelry set in solid .925 sterling silver. Cubic zirconia ranks 8–8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it durable enough for regular wear while offering a refractive index close to diamond. Each stone is lab-created under controlled conditions, resulting in consistent clarity and color. Priced from $559 to $1182, these pieces pair the optical properties of quality CZ with sterling silver metalwork. Free shipping to all US addresses.

No. Cubic zirconia is crystalline zirconium dioxide, while diamond is crystalline carbon. CZ has a slightly lower refractive index (2.15–2.18 vs diamond's 2.42) and ranks 8–8.5 on Mohs hardness compared to diamond's 10.
With proper care, CZ jewelry lasts for years. The stone resists scratching from most household materials, though it can cloud over time from oils and soap residue. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water maintains clarity.
Trained jewelers can distinguish them using tools that measure thermal conductivity or by examining fire dispersion patterns. To casual observation, quality CZ closely resembles diamond in appearance.
