CZ Jewelry Explained – What It Really Is and Why It’s Better Than You Think
Have you noticed how people sometimes overlook jewelry just because it’s not ‘real gold’ or ‘real diamond’? Jewelry carries meaning, no matter what it’s made of. And yet, Cubic Zirconia(CZ) often gets judged before it’s understood. When you look closer at the craftsmanship, the clarity, the thought behind each piece, you realize it deserves more credit than it gets.
This guide breaks down CZ jewelry in a clear, simple way so you can understand the material, its strengths, and why it has become a trusted choice in modern jewelry.
The Basics of CZ Jewelry: What You Need to Know
Let’s start with the basics. CZ or Cubic Zirconia is a lab-created stone that closely resembles a diamond. It is clear, sparkly, and durable. The key here is that it's not a diamond, and it doesn't pretend to be. It's a completely different stone than a diamond. When it’s set in 925 silver jewelry(92.5% pure silver), it really turns into stunning and affordable pieces that look high-end without the guilt.
Here at Paksha (especially in our Tyarra and Nakshatra Collection), we use high-quality CZ stones in our silver jewelry settings. So you’re not only getting a pretty piece of jewelry, you're also getting the craftsmanship, tradition, and sparkle.
Why CZ Jewelry Is Becoming So Popular
CZ jewelry offers the experience of fine jewelry without the concern of price tags or upkeep. You can wear it every day, travel with it, and not worry about losing a piece that’s worth thousands of dollars.
When you purchase pieces of silver jewelry onlinefrom a reputable brand like Paksha, you can be assured you’re getting genuine925 silver jewelry with stones that are hand-set in most designs. And yes, it matters. It’s the difference between something that lasts and something that fades after a few wears.
Everyday Pieces: Rings, Earrings, and Necklaces in CZ
This is where CZ really stands out. Think of classic silver necklaces in twisted floral designs, temple-inspired designs, or just geometric designs. We have CZ rings that look like family heirlooms, earrings that light up perfectly, and necklaces that layer nicely with both ethnic and western fashion.
The Tyarra Collection is packed with these versatile pieces. They are not loud or flashy, simply elegant, and can be worn anytime. You can find the styles that are suitable for the office, brunch, or even a casual dinner out. And since they are made of 925 silver, they’re gentle on the skin and easy to maintain.
CZ Jewelry for Weddings – Sparkle for Your Special Day

These pieces are light-weight, easy to carry, durable and one can wear throughout the day. And guess what? You can actually wear it again. Unlike heavy bridal sets that sit in the box for years, CZ pieces are versatile enough to be reused for festivals, family functions, or even a fancy dinner.
Tips to Keep Your CZ Jewelry Looking New
Simple tips for keeping your sparkle on:
-
Store separately: Pouches or boxes would be best to avoid scratches.
-
Wipe after use: Gently wipe it with a cloth to remove the sweat and oils.
-
Keep it away from chemicals: Do not spray perfumes, sprays, or use cosmetics directly on the jewelry.
-
Clean every so often: Soak the jewelry in mild soap and water, then rinse off the soap and dry thoroughly. Store in a dry place. Moisture can cause silver to tarnish faster, so keep it away from humidity.
When purchasing silver jewelry online, always check for care instructions. At Paksha, we include it with every order so you will know exactly how to care for your jewelry.
