Cubic Zirconia is the most revolutionary synthetic gemstone of all synthetics. Cubic Zirconia or CZ crystals are made in laboratory at temperatures higher than required for all other gems. They are suitable for use in Lampwork and PMC Silver.
Cubic Zirconia is now being manufactured in a large range of colours. A notable thing about CZ is that it has high dispersion, higher than diamond. In-fact the colourless Cubic Zirconia was first introduced as diamond imitation. CZ is not as hard as diamond but it is quite hard as a gemstone. CZ is brittle, meaning it gets chipped off easily if it is hit.
We have a lot of old Gift Certificates on our system which need clearing. Currently, we are going through Gift Certificates from late 2008, small value Gift certificates are being deleted. However larger value Gift Certificate holders will receive a new Gift Certificate email notification reminding them of the code and value. These Gift Certificates will be deleted within 30 days of the reminder email being sent out. Gift Certificates are valid for 12 months but we realise that emails which are sent electronically can be easily lost in your inbox over time. Which is why we have this respite before they are deleted from the system.
