Many Shades of Colored Cubic Zirconia Stones
Natural stones can have as many as nine different shades, from darker to lighter. In fact, all natural stones except perfect blue-white diamonds have these variations. Cubic zirconia stones, too, have these color variations due to the highly sophisticated process used to create them--vacuum induction. In this process, a large free-form piece of cubic zirconia is created as the various ingredients in cubic zirconia are added into a vacuum. For stones other than diamond cubic zirconias (e.g., ruby, sapphire, emerald, peridot, or tanzanite cubic zirconias), permanent coloring is also added at this time, meaning the color is found throughout the stone--not just on the surface. Many lower-quality cubic zirconia stones only have a coloring on the surface which will lose brilliance over time, but Shavonne uses only the highest-quality class of cubic zirconia stones, Russian formula. However, color tends to be lighter on the extremities of the uncut, free-form cubic zirconia and darker towards the center. Typically, larger stones are cut from the center of the cubic zirconia, and smaller stones are cut from the extremities of the cubic zirconia stones. Different renderings of cubic zirconia stones have slightly different shades, and cubic zirconia stones cut from different locations on the newly-created free-form cubic zirconia will have slightly different shades. So, the cubic zirconia stone you get will have a beautiful, realistic ruby, sapphire, emerald, tanzanite, or peridot appearance but its very own unique shade. |
