Nowadays, not all people can afford to buy jewelery with real gems, therefore, to reduce the cost of jewelry, some manufacturers use as inserts synthetic stones.Zirconium is the most common of them.It was originally called "cubic zirconia" because it was made in 1976 at the Physics Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Lebedev, the acronym sounds like the LPI.After the collapse of the Union to take out the stones began to sell abroad, so we had to invent a new name - "cubic zirconia".
phianites today can be seen in so many jewelry because they look great as an insert in gold, platinum and silver.Many believe that the zirconium - a gem, but it's not, though inexperienced person and is difficult to distinguish it from diamond.Was prepared in the laboratory by its chemical compounds.Synthetic crystals for the structure and composition are very similar to natural analogues, similar in appearance and flawless.All this is largely due to the physical properties and, therefore, not considered to be ordinary imitation of natural minerals, synthetic stones.Zirconium, along with precious gems isolated in a special group.
fianit obtained in the laboratory and used to imitate diamonds.Initially, the stones are transparent, but with different impurities are perfectly painted in different colors.Most often, you can see blue, green, blue, black, yellow and purple zircon.Thus, the jewelers can replace natural stones (emerald, aquamarine, amethyst, topaz, diamond, ruby, sapphire) cubic zirconia, thereby reducing the cost of the product.
Zirconium beauty does not yield real gems, he plays their faces, and the refractive index of light is very close to diamond.Visually, even the professionals will be difficult to determine the synthetic stones.Zirconium large size can be distinguished from diamond by light refraction and low hardness, although its dazzling brilliance.But with small cubic zirconia will be more difficult to tell the difference between them and the same small size natural gemstones have to work hard.
dishonest dealers often instead of real minerals inserted synthetic stones.Zirconium coloring lends itself much better to natural crystals, so often it replaces precious gems.The common man will be very difficult to distinguish the original from a fake, but special equipment to easily calculate phianites.Many professionals agree with the fact that in comparison with the diamond more beautiful zirconium stone.Photo articles him look rich and perfect.Characteristics of the refraction of light at the cubic zirconia is much higher compared to many natural minerals.The stone is very popular, framed in gold, silver, platinum.Jewelry with them very beautiful, and are much cheaper products from sapphire, diamond and topaz.
