Cubic Zirconia Jewelry

Eleven pieces built around cubic zirconia rather than a mined gemstone, which is a choice and not a compromise: the stone is flawless, hard enough for daily wear, and a fraction of the price.

Most of these pair zirconia with lab-grown emerald — the zirconia carries the sparkle, the emerald carries the colour. Expect pendants, studs, European-style drops and a sunflower ring, all on solid 925 silver rather than plated alloy.

Because zirconia is harder than most natural stones, these survive a knock better than emerald does. They are the pieces we suggest if you are hard on jewellery.
