What is zirconium oxide, this stone that imitates diamonds so well?

Why do we like it so much?

We've always dreamed of wearing jewelry adorned with real diamonds, right? Well, zirconium oxide has such a high refractive index that it captures light as well as a diamond. In addition, it can take several shades to replace emerald, beryl etc...

One more info you don't know!

And yes, zirconium oxide has such hardness that it is impossible to scratch it. Indeed, because it is also used for dental prostheses so as much to tell you that it takes solid 😁

But its use does not stop there...

Textile industry, medicine and some luxury watches due to its high resistance to scratches.

How to tell the difference between diamond, rhinestone and zircon?

To differentiate the zirconia from the diamond it is enough to touch them in order to feel their temperature , the zirconia is hotter than the diamond!!

Differentiate zirconia from rhinestones: simply measure its degree of shine , that of rhinestones is much lower than zirconia.

With regard to the zircon of the zirconia (zirconium oxide), it is their solidity, namely that the zircon has an extreme fragility.
