CZ stands for Cubic Zirconia, which is a synthetic gemstone. The difference between a diamond and a CZ is that the diamond is a real gemstone. CZ weighs more than a real diamond and is more affordable.

What does the cz in cz jewerely stand for?

CZ stands for Cubic Zirconia in regards to jewelery. It is a synthetic (created in a lab) alternative to diamond. The main difference between Cubic Zirconia and actual Diamond is the weight, hardness, and the pricing. CZ weighs more than a diamond of the same size, but is a lot less hard. CZ is usually referred to as "fake" or "faux", as it is not the real thing; but CZ is a lot more affordable than diamond.


How do you tell this difference between a diamond and cubic zirconia?

There are thousands of tests you can do to find out the difference between cz and diamonds. If you put the gem near your mouth and breath on it, if it takes about 2-5 seconds to defog, then it is most likely cz, but sometimes jewelers put a layer of diamond around cz so it will defog instantly. You can also take the gem, place it upside down on a newspaper, if you can see the writing or anything close to it, it is fake. You can also use a jewelers loupe, cz under a loupe is flawless, diamond has very flaws that you can see. I hope this was helpful.

Can a regular person tell the difference between a diamond and a Cubic Zirconia?

Even with magnification, no. There are so many variations in diamonds that untrained individuals would not know what to look for. Cubic zirconia (CZ, zirconium dioxide) is similar to natural zircons (zirconium silicate). Some distinctions include weight (CZ is heavier), clarity (most CZ have no imperfections), and prism refraction (most CZ disperse light more than diamonds).
