If you want to know more, here are seven facts about \u201cCZ.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Cubic zirconia is a \u201cdiamond alternative,\u201d\ncreated synthetically in a lab.&nbsp;\nProduction of CZs started way back in the 1970s, and the product has\ngotten increasingly better over the years.<\/li><li>Unlike diamonds, cubic zirconia pieces don\u2019t\nhave any \u201cinclusions\u201d or flaws.&nbsp; This\nsignificantly ups the \u201cfire\u201d when the CZ catches the light.&nbsp; Your ring or other jewelry pieces will surely\ncatch envious glances as they sparkle!<\/li><li>CZ weighs more than a diamond of the same\nsize.&nbsp; However, when shopping, you\u2019ll be\ngiven a \u201cdiamond equivalent\u201d weight so you know how it stacks up against a real\ngemstone.<\/li><li>If white diamonds aren\u2019t your thing, cubic\nzirconia is available in \u201ccolors\u201d to mimic other stones like sapphires or\nemeralds (even colored diamonds, if those are more appealing to your style\nsense). That makes for a wide variety of jewelry options.<\/li><li>CZ is \u201cgraded\u201d in much the same way as\ngemstones.&nbsp; The \u201cFour Cs\u201d are what you\u2019ll\nwant to look for: clarity, color, cut, carat weight).&nbsp; There&#8217;s also a system to rate their quality,\nranging from &#8220;A&#8221; (lowest) to &#8220;AAAAA&#8221; (highest).&nbsp; Birkat Elyon prides itself on offering\nsuperior quality cubic zirconia pieces.<\/li><li>Cubic zirconia can be cut into the same shapes\nused for diamonds or other gems.&nbsp; Always\nwanted a \u201ccushion cut\u201d gemstone ring?&nbsp; CZ\ngives you the (affordable) option to make that dream a reality.<\/li><li>CZ is not as hard as traditional gemstones, so\ncleaning your pieces requires a bit of care.&nbsp;\nThe easiest method is to use gentle dishwashing detergent or rubbing\nalcohol and a very soft toothbrush.&nbsp; This\nwill get any grit and grime off, and restore the &#8220;fire&#8221; that makes\ncubic zirconia so exceptional.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re someone who considers themselves &#8220;fashion-forward,&#8221; and loves accessorizing with unique pieces, look into what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Birkat Elyon (opens in a new tab)\">Birkat Elyon<\/a> has to offer.\u00a0 Our selection of top-quality cubic zirconia jewelry gives you endless options, all at a price that makes sense.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who enjoy glamour, gemstones like diamonds have always been an appealing choice for jewelry.\u00a0 Yes, they can dazzle \u2013 but \u201cthe real things\u201d have more than a few downsides.\u00a0 Expensive, pricey to insure, fears over losing them or being robbed\u2026This is why more fashion-forward (and budget-smart) people are opting for high-quality cubic zirconia pieces.\u00a0 They offer the same kind of sparkle, but are far more affordable \u2013 and&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":192,"featured_media":2518,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,7],"tags":[9,64,186,67,52,51],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>7 Things to Know About CZ Jewelry - BirkatElyonBlog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Why is cubic zirconia jewelry so popular?
