Fashioned in 925 Sterling Silver, this fancy men's ring features clustered Simulated Diamond Cubic Zirconia (CZ) stones at its center. The polished band completes this masculine look. We use high quality Cubic Zirconia Simulated Diamonds in our jewelry. Cubic Zirconia, or CZ, is a stone so optically close to diamond that most jewelers cannot tell the difference between a CZ and a diamond with the naked eye. It resembles the same optical characteristics, radiance and beauty as diamonds. CZ is much less expensive than diamond, optically flawless, and can be created in a variety of different colors. The biggest difference is that CZ is 70% heavier than diamond. CZ is extremely durable with a hardness rating of 8.5 compared to 10 for diamond.
