Will Cubic Zirconia Turn Green? The Truth About CZ Jewelry
Understanding Cubic Zirconia
Cubic zirconia (CZ) has become one of the most popular diamond alternatives in modern jewelry. This lab-created gemstone offers remarkable brilliance at a fraction of the cost of natural diamonds. But many wonder: will cubic zirconia turn green over time? The short answer is no - high-quality CZ stones maintain their clarity and color indefinitely with proper care.
Does Cubic Zirconia Change Color?
The concern about whether cubic zirconia will turn green stems from experiences with lower-quality jewelry. Pure CZ stones themselves don't discolor, but the metal settings they're placed in might. Here's what you need to know:
| Material | Color Stability | Maintenance Required |
|---|---|---|
| High-Quality CZ | Won't turn green | Minimal |
| Plated Metals | May discolor | Regular cleaning |
| Sterling Silver | May tarnish | Polishing needed |
Caring for Your CZ Jewelry
To ensure your cubic zirconia jewelry never develops a greenish tint:
- Clean regularly with mild soap and water
- Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives
- Store pieces separately to prevent scratching
- Choose quality settings like 925 sterling silver
