A Little History of Cubic Zirconia

Cubic zirconia or CZ is the only economically important competitor of diamonds when it comes to the jewelry market today. It is a synthetic gemstone – technically the cubic crystalline form of zirconium dioxide – that is visually alike to real diamonds; however, the production of this gemstone is low cost, which makes it much cheaper than diamonds. The competition in the market between CZ and diamonds started since 1976, and this gem was also called “diamonique” upon its sudden recognition in the market. The originating mineral used in making cubic zirconia was first discovered in 1892 and was later on developed through series of studies and was eventually discovered that it can be used as a substitute for diamonds by a German mineralogist.
