Hello everyone.
Browsing through Ebay listings I noticed how many sellers use people unawareness of some gemstone fundamentals. I found this forum to be a good place to share my knowledge.
There was one successful seller skillfully manipulating these terms.
So, what's the difference between Cubic Zirconia (CZ), Zircon and created or synthetic diamond? CZ is zirconium oxide (ZrO2), a mineral that is extremely rare in nature but is widely synthesized for use as a diamond simulant. The one that is used for most of jewelry is laboratory-grown simulant.
Zircon is a beautiful natural gemstone, which is not the same as CZ. Please visit http://www.answers.com/topic/zircon for more information.
The guy at Ebay used the term "created diamond" instead of CZ. That made him much more successful than any other seller offering the same products. 'Diamond' definetely sounds better than 'CZ' :)
Thanks for reading. I hope this will be helpfull for sombody.
