With more than 25 years of experiencing refining the best cubic zirconia in the world, we pride ourselves on the superior quality of each piece we sell. We often hear from consumers, just like you, who are overwhelmed when it comes to purchasing CZ jewelry. How much should it cost? How do you know if it is in fact high-quality? The questions go on and on\u2026<\/p>\n

At Birkat Elyon we work to educate our customers; to help them understand what separates a quality cubic zirconia from the rest. As the makers of the best cubic zirconia in the world, we generally start by explaining how we refine our CZ.<\/p>\n

Refining Quality CZ: How We Do It<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raw Materials<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quality rough materials are essential when creating flawless cubic zirconia. In order to formulate our superior cubic zirconia we use the finest raw materials available. Invented in Russia in 1970, the cubic zirconia was originally created to be a cost effective diamond alternative; for use with laser technology. Today the very best cubic zirconia in the world is still created using this same formula. At Birkat Elyon our commitment to the use of the highest quality rough materials on the market, as well as the classic Russian formulation, makes our CZ second to none.<\/p>\n

Cutting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet another differentiator between our CZ, and lower quality stones, is our cutting method. Unlike mass produced cubic zirconia, ours our hand cut with the same precision used by master jeweler when cutting fine diamonds. The painstaking work that goes into cutting each of our CZ produces dazzling results.<\/p>\n

Polishing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, each of our CZ are hand polished as well. This technique is again the very same used by master jewelers when polishing fine diamonds; producing a thin, polished girdle. In other words, our unique polishing procedure yields the world\u2019s most brilliant CZ.<\/p>\n

Mass produced, machine-cut and polished cubic zirconia pale in comparison to those you find on our website. If you\u2019re in the market for the very best cubic zirconia available on the market today, we encourage you to shop our store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Looking for something extra special? Our master jewelry designers can help you design the perfect piece; adorned with the world\u2019s best cubic zirconia.<\/p>\n
