Silver rings with cubic zirconia

In silver jewelry, the quintessential gemstone is cubic zirconia . It's known as the poor man's diamond . It's more widely recognized than diamonds, even though it has very similar properties, but it's much cheaper, which is why it's sometimes called an "imitation diamond ."

Zirconia is one of the forms in which zirconium oxide occurs; specifically, it is its cubic crystalline form. At first glance, a diamond and a zircon appear identical, but there are a couple of important characteristics that differentiate them:

1. Its hardness (the value of cubic zirconia is 8, on the Mohs scale, while that of diamond is 10).
2. Cubic zirconia is produced synthetically, while diamond is natural.

Román Joyero offers its customers a very wide range of cubic zirconia rings with designs ranging from classic models with white or black cubic zirconia to solitaire rings imitating gold engagement rings.
