   Cubic zirconia can be coated with diamond-like carbon to improve its durability, but will still be detected as CZ by a thermal probe. CZ had virtually no competition until the 1998 introduction of moissanite (SiC; silicon carbide). Moissanite is superior to cubic zirconia in two ways: its hardness (8.5–9.25) and low SG (3.2).

   In 1977, cubic zirconia began to be mass-produced in the jewelry marketplace by the Ceres Corporation, with crystals stabilized with 94% yttria. Other major producers as of 1993 include Taiwan Crystal Company Ltd , Swarovski and ICT inc. [ 8 ] [ 5 ] By 1980, annual global production had reached 60 million carats (12 tonnes) and continued to ...

5. Zirconium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium

   The most common oxide is zirconium dioxide, ZrO 2, also known as zirconia. This clear to white-coloured solid has exceptional fracture toughness (for a ceramic) and chemical resistance, especially in its cubic form. [37] These properties make zirconia useful as a thermal barrier coating, [38] although it is also a common diamond substitute. [37]

6. Zirconium dioxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium_dioxide

   Visually discerning a good quality cubic zirconia gem from a diamond is difficult, and most jewellers will have a thermal conductivity tester to identify cubic zirconia by its low thermal conductivity (diamond is a very good thermal conductor). This state of zirconia is commonly called cubic zirconia, CZ, or zircon by jewellers, but the last ...
