When it comes to sparkling jewelry, diamonds have always been a first choice. But for many folks, the cost has been way out of their price range. The good news is, there are options that dazzle but won\u2019t cost nearly as much. They include lab-grown diamonds and cubic zirconia (\u201cCZ\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birkat Elyon<\/a> has long provided its customers with gorgeous, high-quality CZ jewelry, and is here to break down the difference between cubic zirconia and lab-grown diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diamonds grown in a lab are just that. The process mimics\nthe conditions that form actual diamonds found in a mine. It starts with a bit\nof an actual diamond \u2013 the \u201cseed\u201d \u2013 then subjects it to intense pressure. It\ntakes up to a few months to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While lab-grown diamonds don\u2019t have the \u201coverhead\u201d of a real\none, they\u2019re still pretty pricey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubic zirconia is also man-made but takes far less time and\neffort to create. For that reason, it costs a lot less than a lab-grown\ndiamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to durability, both lab-grown diamonds and CZ\nhold up beautifully in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubic zirconia is a smart option for things like sparkly earrings<\/a> or bracelets<\/a>; even lab-grown diamonds can be cost-prohibitive. Another reason that CZ is so popular is that it\u2019s worry-free: if you ever lose a piece on vacation or a honeymoon, you won\u2019t be out a fortune as you would be with a diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the average person, a quality CZ ring<\/a>, like those from Birkat Elyon, is almost indistinguishable from a diamond \u2013 real, or lab-grown. It takes a real expert to determine which is which.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another benefit that CZ has? A totally colorless diamond is\nextremely rare (and extremely coveted); typically, there\u2019s some color hue\nreflected.  However, cubic zirconia is<\/em>\ncolorless (unless a color is included on purpose) and reflects clear light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom line: just as with a genuine diamond, cubic zirconia has many advantages over lab-grown ones. They shine as brightly, impress as much \u2013 but are so much more affordable.\u00a0 Birkat Elyon<\/a> invites you to check out our full line of high-quality cubic zirconia jewelry and treat yourself (or someone else) to something special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
