Diamond substitute stone

⌛Time it takes to read this article: < 1 minutesAll the Things You Are This is a continuation of yesterday's introduction to Diamond. After all, diamonds are expensive, so today I would like to introduce some gemstones that can be used instead. Below are excerpts from my collection. (1) White sapphire Although not as bright as diamond, it is quite hard with a Mohs hardness of 9, so it is often used in rings. (2) Goshenite It is a beryl gemstone, same as emerald. Although it is very beautiful, it is soft with a Mohs hardness of 6, so it may be difficult to make it into a ring. (3) Colorless Topaz With a Mohs hardness of 8, it is the second hardest stone after corundum (sapphire and ruby). It's pretty pretty, so I think it could be used as a ring as well. (4) Zirconia A natural stone is called zircon. Because it is a plain stone, it is not often used for jewelry. However, cubic zirconia, a synthetic stone made by refining zirconium, the main component of this stone, is often used as a diamond substitute because its brilliance resembles the characteristics of diamond. Mohs hardness is 8 to 8.5. 💎 by Secret Jewelry Collection
