Cubic Zirconia Earring

Are you a parent, wanting to buy your daughter the perfect piece of jewelry? Or maybe you are a child who wants to buy your mother the ideal accessory that would complement her face and express your love for her. Well there are various jewelries and accessories on the market today, but either their price tag would give you a heart attack, or they would fall apart within few days. If you are looking for the perfect durable piece of jewelry that wouldn’t drill a hole in your pocket, then one solution for your problem is a cubic zirconia earring.
Produced from a man made material of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) a cubic zirconia earring would have roughly the same durability as a diamond earring. Its hardness stands around 8 on the Mohs scale which makes it harder than some natural gems. The stones in a cubic zirconia earring would have a relative density also referred as the specific gravity that would scale between 5.6 and 6.0; roughly adding up to 1.6 times that of a diamond. In simple English, you wouldn’t have to worry about the jewelry breaking up when you buy a cubic zirconia earring.
These days it’s not just women who wear earrings; with the rise of the pop culture lots of men have pierced their ears and are wearing earrings now. Diamond like studs are a favorite among men with pierced ears, which makes a cubic zirconia earring an ideal choice for them.  As it is more likely that a female would take more care of her jewelry than a male would, going for a cubic zirconia earring is beneficial for a guy because of its hardiness and low price, since it won’t break easily and if so it wouldn’t cost him much.
The stones in a cubic zirconia earring have yttrium oxide in as a stabilizer, and adding other oxides of metals such as copper, iron, or chromium will make the normally colorless crystal colorful; with colors ranging from red, to orange, to black. This is another plus point you get when buying a cubic zirconia earring, unlike in diamond, silver, or gold you get the choice of selecting the color of the earring with a cubic zirconia earring, without having to pay much. This would come really handy if you are planning to match the color with your birthstone when you are buying the jewelry. This could also be useful for guys who wear earrings and prefer them to be black as it is a trend in the rock and gothic culture.
