Cubic Zirconia

Cubic zirconia was first introduced in the 1970s, and has since been used in fashion and costume jewellery to create the ‘wow’ factor in a cost effective way. Cubic zirconia is the stabilised form of zirconium oxide, with a cubic structure, and is created in laboratories. Cubic zirconia can be produced in almost any colour, size or shape. It is, however, a soft material and so can abrade very easily. Often used as a simulant for other gemstones, in particular diamonds, it is detected through its softness, finish, density and optical properties.
