Cubic Zirconia

[liveyoungstayactive]

I want to buy a Cubic Zirconia tennis bracelet with my work bonus. I see John Lewis have some but are there any other recommendations please.

I like this one but it seems too expensive when comparing with other ones https://www.johnlewis.com/jools-by-jenny-brown-cubic-zirconia-tennis-bracelet-silver/p111987147

Just be aware that cubic zirconia is a soft stone nso.it loses its shine very quickly

@GettingStuffed oh I didn't know that. How quickly is "very quickly" How many years would I get out of a bracelet?

Says it's pretty hard "Cubic zirconia is relatively hard, 8–8.5 on the Mohs scale—slightly harder than most semi-precious natural gems.[1] Its refractive index is high at 2.15–2.18 (compared to 2.42 for diamonds) and its luster is Adamantine lustre."

QVC do Diamonique which is a CZ .
I have loads of it , I am not careful with jewellery TBH , I wear my earrings all day/all night/in the shower etc.
I've never had a piece of Diamonique go dull . It can get grubby but a quick go in an ultrasonic cleaner does the trick . Or washing up liquid in warm water with a sift brush.
My daughter has 'positively poached' one of my rings , gold eternity style with small stones (very believable and beautiful) which she wears day on/day out

They have several tennis bracelets price up to £90 in sterling silver which is much less than the JL piece .
Reviews are a bit hit and miss usually the clasp but you can see the videos .
Also a good money back guarantee
I don;t work for them BTW

Also consider moisannite which is lab made and looks very much like a diamond. There are YouTube videos showing how they compare to mined diamonds as it tests as a diamond on a diamond tester. I have a one carat moisannite solitaire, I am clumsy as anything and haven't damaged it yet in over 3 years. I did want Morganite but that is very soft sadly. My rings including a half eternity moisannite are from Etsy.

That is a ludicrous price. Diamonique as others have said is a good bet, and yes for that price you could probably get moissanite as well

Thanks. Never heard of moissanite or the other one, so off to do some research although having a quick look moissanite looks very expensive (apart from one Etsy seller in India) Looks good but I'm not convinced enough to have trust in that particular situation.
