Unless I am sadly mistaken (in which case don't dispel my illusion! noooo), cubic zirconia is a lab-created diamond made with a huge hydraulic press that creates the same conditions that in the earth's crust creates a natural diamond.It is 10 on the hardness scale and you can feel the hardness when placed in contact with your teeth...and the pawn shop's gem scanner identifies zirconia as lab diamond, as least that is what they told me. I didn't do it to these but in the past I wasn't able to scratch them with anything available so they are very hard. Zirconia have been coming down in price for years and though they do cost quite a bit from a jeweler you can't get $1 for them at pawn...there is nothing "cube" about cubic zirconia that is just a trade name and they have the same crystal structure as natural diamond, do I misunderstand?At any rate if there is a difference between cubic zirconia and lab diamond then these are in fact cubic zirconia. Which is still sparkly and doesn't get dull...and still better than plastic, so there <stamps hoof>.
Ooooh ok fine be that way and make me learn stuff! and steal my fake diamonds.Edited to correct my misunderstanding, thanks!(you sure your boss isn't just worried I'm cutting into his action? hahaha)
