To the untrained eye, it is hard to distinguish a real diamond from a cubic zirconia look alike. It can appear identical, but there are a few simple differences to keep in mind. A CZ is heavier and has a slightly, less noticeable sparkle. It is also softer and brittle therefore not as
hard as a diamond. To look at a CZ there is a relatively noticeable difference. This gemstone has more flashes of the rainbow than a diamond. The colorful term is referred to as fire. A physical test to determine whether your diamond is real or not can be done in your own home. The CZ
that is in question should be immerged into a glass of water. If the gemstone disappears, it is cubic zirconia. A real diamond will still be visible in water.
Jewelry with cubic zirconia accents can be worn daily with a few things to remember. Always take off your jewelry before taking part in any strenuous activity to avoid the risk losing or chipping it. Also remove it before showering. Shampoo can leave a dimming film on top of the
gemstone. Makeup can also dull the shine. With its transparent look and ability to be cut into any form, anyone would be happy with a CZ in their possession. Cubic zirconia jewelry is not costume jewelry meaning it does not have a fake appearance. They are the most loved choice for a
fake diamond at a reasonable price.
