My neighbor’s cousin’s co-worker’s sister said that Diamond Nexus stones are just regular CZ. Are they?
No, actually they’re not. CZ, or cubic zirconia, contain only two elements: zirconium and oxygen. While Diamond Nexus gemstones do also contain these elements, (which is where some people get confused,) they have seven more as well. And while the manufacturing process of Diamond Nexus gemstones begins much the same as the manufacturing process of CZ, there are many more steps and treatments involved in a Diamond Nexus gemstone. The result is a different stone with different, better properties.
