  • Composition: High-quality cubic zirconia does not naturally discolor due to its pure zirconium dioxide composition.
  • Potential Discoloration: Lower-quality settings, metal alloy reactions, product buildup, and light refraction may create the illusion of discoloration.
  • Prevention: Regular cleaning, proper storage, and choosing sterling silver or gold settings can prevent discoloration.
  • Care Tips: Experts recommend professional cleaning, using soft toothbrushes, and avoiding ultrasonic cleaners for plated pieces.
  • Conclusion: With proper care, cubic zirconia jewelry can maintain its brilliance indefinitely without turning green.
