I do NOT mean cubic zirconium. I mean actual lab created diamonds. They are sometimes set in sterling silver with platinum rhodium finish. I am just curious as to the look of the jewelry, and if it looks cheap or cheesy. I am particularly interested in how it looks after it has been worn for a while.
Uhhh, no Kate, YOU’RE confused…A cubic zirconium is different. Its made of zirconium oxide (ZrO2), and is a diamond simulant. A lab created diamond is molecularly identical to a natural diamond. There is a DIFFERENCE between a synthetic (lab created) diamond, and a diamond simulant (CZ). I am well informed of the differences, but curious about the appearance. The people who own them will know what I mean.
