Cubic zirconia jewelry imparts panache, sophistication, elegance, and opulence, owing much to the properties exhibited by cubic zirconia. Among these features, are:
- Fire, which refers to the bright flashes of light emitted by moving the cubic zirconia in bright light
- Brilliance or the degree to which the diamond or cubic zirconia sparkles
- Dispersion, which is the phenomenon of rainbow colors expressed when a diamond or cz is moved in bright light.
