Zirconium oxyde

It's very easy to care for your zirconium oxide jewelry. Simply clean them gently in warm, soapy water to restore their lustre. You can use a soft brush to remove dust and grease.

Zircon is a natural mineral used in jewelry, while zirconia (or zirconium oxide) is a man-made synthetic stone. Natural zirconia is rarer, more fragile and often more expensive. Cubic zirconia, on the other hand, is renowned for its exceptional diamond-like brilliance, high hardness (8.5 Mohs) and affordable price. We give you more details in this technical data sheet.

This artificial stone is highly prized in the manufacture of costume and handcrafted jewelry, thanks to its resistance, variety of colors and ease of maintenance.

Zirconium oxide components, also known as cubic zirconia, won 't rust because they're made from a stable, inert synthetic mineral material. Unlike metals, zirconium oxide does not undergo oxidation or corrosion, guaranteeing longevity and lasting brilliance for your jewelry.

However, the metal primers or settings that often accompany zirconia beads can oxidize or rust, depending on their composition. To preserve the beauty of your creations, we recommend the use of corrosion-resistant metals such asstainless steel or Gold Filled, and avoid prolonged exposure to water and humidity.
