Cubic Zirconium (colloquially known as cubic zirconia), is a man made stone that closely resembles a diamond. From far away, you really cannot tell the difference between a diamond and a cubic zirconium stone. When you place a cubic zirconia white gold engagement ring next to a diamond white gold engagement ring, chances are that the average person will not be able to tell the difference. However, as you would assume, a jeweler will definitely be able to tell the difference between a cubic zirconia white gold engagement ring and a diamond white gold engagement ring.

What To Know When Purchasing Cubic Zirconium

If you do decide to purchase a cubic zirconia white gold engagement ring instead of a pricey diamond white gold engagement ring, there are a few things that you should be aware of. First, do not purchase a very large stone. If you purchase a very large stone, it will look fake. This is because real diamonds are very rarely flawless and they all have their own unique characteristics. Just because cubic zirconium is artificial, the stones are nearly perfect and flawless. There are no nicks or scuffs or dark spots like real diamonds have. If the stone is very large, anyone will be able to tell that it is a cubic zirconia white gold engagement ring and not a real diamond white gold engagement ring. To spare your girlfriend the embarrassment, make sure to keep the diamond reasonably sized.
