With a crystal clear shine, cubic zirconia stones have become a very popular alternative to diamonds. The stones are a good choice for body piercings thanks to their eye-catching brilliance, affordable prices and easy care. The cubic zirconia belly ring is one of the most popular pieces of cz body jewelry.

Because cubic zirconia is a manufactured stone and not a natural-occurring mineral, it is simulated to be flawless. A cubic zirconia can be perfectly structured, completely transparent and free of inclusions. It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish a real diamond from a colorless cubic zirconia stone. That's why when you wear a cz belly ring, you get so many admiring glances and who can tell if it is a brilliant diamond or a brilliant cubic zirconia gem? Only you will know.
Cubic zirconia stores are similar to natural diamonds and other gemstones in a few ways. There is a grading scale to measure the quality of the stones; also like real gemstones, the cut, size and shape of a cubic zirconia stone will affect the brilliance of the stone. Look for high quality cubic zirconia belly button rings.
Differences between diamonds and cubic zirconia stones include hardness. Diamonds are the hardest gemstones, ranking a 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. A cubic zirconia is softer, with an approximate 8-8.5 hardness rating. However, cubic zirconia stones are more dense so they will weigh in heavier- approximately 65-75% heavier- than a real diamond. Because cubic zirconia stones are manmade and do not have cleavages, they are less susceptible to cracks and chips than real diamonds. All the more reason to wear a cubic zirconia belly ring.
Only very rare and expensive diamonds are truly colorless; diamonds generally have a tinge of yellow or brown. However, cubic zirconia stones can be made to be entirely colorless, which is clear enough to rank as a perfect “D” grade on a diamond color grading scale. That's why for many occasions, a cz belly ring is the ideal choice.
Although well-known for its clear, sparkling shine that resembles diamonds, cubic zirconia stones also come in a variety of colors. The brilliant color of cubic zirconia stones make them very popular in fashion jewelry. Cubic zirconia colors are created by adding metal oxides. One stone can also have a range of colors, in the same shade as well as a multi-color variety. Many belly rings with loads of rainbow colors are cubic zirconia belly rings.
Caring for your cubic zirconia belly ring is easy- you can clean it with any cleaner designed for jewelry. Because it is a durable stone, you can even use a brush to clean off dirt and oil. You can also safely use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for a cubic zirconia belly ring. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to keep soap film from building up.
Cubic zirconia belly button rings are a guaruntee of shimmering shine and sparkling divine gems!
