How do we differentiate CZ jewelry?

To distinguish CZ jewelry from diamonds, it is essential to employ gemological equipments such as a loupe, microscope etc. While the hardness of diamond reads 10 being the hardest material known to mankind, CZ measures between 8.5 and 9 on Mohs’ hardness scale. Glass/sand measures 5 to 6 which means that dust and dirt cannot cause scratches on your CZ jewelry. CZ can however cause scratches on glass which again is good news for your CZ jewelry because it provides resistance to chipping.

Weight

When it comes to weight, the CZ is a heavy weight counterpart compared to diamonds with a typical comparison notching upto 175% in weight in relation to diamond. This is again great news for CZ jewelry lovers because the weight of a similar sized diamond jewelry will be nearly half of the CZ jewelry.

CZ is colorless and flawless

While diamonds tend to carry impurities or some kind of defects, CZ is generally flawless. When we consider, colorless diamonds are among the rarest and most diamonds will have brown or yellow tinge. CZ on the contrary can be manufactured to be colorless comparable to “D” on a color grading for diamonds.

Care while piercing your nose
It is extremely important that certain things are kept in mind while piercing the nose as these are vital to the nose tissue healing well. The nose should never be pierced with a piercing gun as this damages the tissue and can even cause infections like HIV. You should remember that healing of a pierced nose can take up to 12 months and therefore good care should be taken of it during this period. Always ensure that your hands are clean when you touch the piercing and never take out the piece of jewelry until the wound has healed completely.

Once you have taken all of this into consideration and followed it well, you are ready to wear trendy jewelry on your nose!
