History Of Cubic Zirconia
The cubic zirconia was first discovered in the year of 1892. The natural form of Cubic zirconia is yellow in colour which is known as zirconium oxide. In those days, this material was given no value. But later in the 1930s scientists discovered that zirconium oxide does not lose its properties of strength even in high heat. Eventually, zirconium oxide was used in ceramics, laser machines, etc. In 1977, Russian scientists actually learned the process to grow these stones in a lab and it was they who marketed cubic zirconia as a simulated diamond. Although it didn’t impact the world of jewellery then, it wasn’t until Swarovski jumped into the market with its own version and coined the term CZ for cubic zirconia. It was then that CZ became popular and a cheaper substitute for diamond jewellery.
What is Cubic Zirconia?
Cubic zirconia is a synthetic and colourless gemstone that is made from the cubic crystalline form of zirconium dioxide. Although extremely rare, cubic zirconia may also appear naturally within the mineral called baddeleyite. In most cubic zirconia jewellery, the gemstones are lab-created.
As mentioned above cubic zirconia is often regarded as an inexpensive alternative to diamonds, although it is very different in its aesthetic qualities and physical structure because it is lab-grown, whereas when it comes to diamonds they are naturally occurring gemstones.
How is Cubic Zirconia made?
Cubic Zirconia or CZ is made by melting the zirconium oxide powder with different stabilizers like magnesium and calcium at 4,982ºF. After being exposed to heat, the zirconium oxide powder turns into crystals, they are then removed from the heat and stabilized. The crystals are then cut and polished. Although each lab has its own specific method for the making of cubic zircons.
Cubic Zircons are also found in various shapes just like diamonds, such as baguette-cut, oval cut, or cushion cut.
