Cubic Zirconia Tennisarmbånd

Many jewelry enthusiasts often struggle to distinguish between crystal and cubic zirconia due to their similar appearances. Both stones boast shiny surfaces that capture and reflect light well, giving both an eye-catching sparkle.

Tennis bracelets are an ornament that consist of an array of diamonds or gemstones arranged in an equilateral pattern on one wrist, popularized after Chris Evert’s diamond bracelet flew off her wrist during a tennis match and caused significant disruption during play. Their name comes from this momentous event which resulted in their being known by this moniker.

What is a Cubic Zirconia Bracelet?

Cubic zirconia tennis bracelets are unique designs featuring rows of cubic zirconia stones set into either gold or silver metal to mimic the look of traditional diamond tennis bracelets. A diamond tennis bracelet consists of an array of gemstones identical in color, cut clarity and size that are held together with metal clasps; its name was popularized when tennis star Evert’s diamond bracelet spontaneously flew off during a match – giving rise to its name tennis bracelet.

Cubic zirconia tennis bracelets are an elegant accessory perfect for adding an additional touch to any look, making a wonderful present on special occasions.

What is the Difference Between a Crystal and a Cubic Zirconia Bracelet?

The primary distinction between a crystal and cubic zirconia bracelets lies in their materials: crystals are made of glass while cubic zirconia bracelets use synthetic material instead. Both varieties resemble diamonds in appearance and both can create beautiful bracelets for less money than their diamond equivalent. Crystals typically comprise fragile glass which needs to be handled more carefully; on the contrary, cubic zirconia has greater durability against damage than its glass counterpart.

Crystal and cubic zirconia bracelets differ significantly in that the latter tends to have yellow or brown tones while crystals typically feature colorless cubic zirconia stones that may be difficult to tell apart from real diamonds without closer examination; however, close scrutiny will reveal any subtle variations.

Cubic zirconia jewelry differs significantly from natural diamonds in that they’re manufactured through chemical processes rather than mining carbon under intense pressure and heat. Cubic zirconia (CZ), is a synthetic gemstone composed of zirconium dioxide. CZ can be produced in large amounts at relatively low costs – for instance a single cubic zirconia stone may cost $20 while an equivalent two carat diamond would likely be significantly more costly.

Crystal and cubic zirconia jewelry is relatively straightforward to maintain, requiring regular cleaning with soapy warm water or an appropriate jewelry cleaner formulated for this task. Both materials can also be polished up to restore their sparkle and brilliance.

Finally, crystal bracelets tend to be set using glue while cubic zirconia pieces will often use prongs instead. This makes a cubic zirconia piece more elegant and sophisticated; both types of stones can look stunning though; ultimately it’s up to the wearer themselves to decide which type best meets their needs and personal style.

How to Tell the Difference Between a Crystal and a Cubic Zirconia Bracelet

At first glance, it can be hard to tell the difference between crystal and cubic zirconia when set into jewelry, particularly as both materials provide a bright shine that picks up and reflects light – making them seem similar in appearance. However, crystal is natural material with flaws and inclusions while cubic zirconia is manmade.

Cubic zirconia (CZ), commonly referred to as imitation diamond jewelry, is produced in laboratories by mixing pure zirconium oxide with calcium and magnesium to form isotropic crystals that can then be cut and polished into gemstones. CZ bears striking visual similarities to diamonds which makes it a popular choice as imitation jewelry; its visual similarity is one reason it remains so popular. While not as scratch-proof as real diamonds it can still last two to three years with careful handling if worn daily for daily or longer wear.

To identify jewelry that contains crystal or CZ stones, a simple test can help: hold it up to the light and observe whether or not it fogs up under UV lighting; if so, that indicates that it most likely contains crystal and is probably foil backed. To be certain of its authenticity further, use a gemological tester that measures thermal conductivity to confirm whether or not its stone is real.

Crystal jewelry is an increasingly popular trend and comes in various shapes and colors, popularly including faceted beads and teardrops. Custom designs may feature elaborate shapes or designs created with crystal for an eye-catching finish; while some varieties mimic gemstone colors such as sapphires or emeralds.

One way to tell whether or not a piece of jewelry is made from crystal or cubic zirconia is its color; typically crystal is clear while cubic zirconia comes in various shades – the only exception being stones treated with special elements to produce rainbow-hued stones. If in doubt, consult a jeweler for professional testing of any given item.
