Cut: Round Brilliant, High quality
Clarity: VVS1-Flawless
Height: Each cz has a height that is 62% of the width of the stone. This is so that the patter of the pavillion reflects back out of the face of the stone to give it sparkle.
Quality: My AAA quality is a good standard of quality which works out the best value for costume jewellery. There is no official rating for cz quality, but generally A is the lowest and 6A, AAAAAA is the highest AAA is mid range. Please note that there is no official quality ratings for cz, the A's are just a guide to the sparkle of the stones and the accuracy of the cutting, also the quality of the material.
Precious Metal Clay
Some of the colours will change colour if fired in a kiln, please see the colour description for details
Colour Descriptions
With some colour gemstones it is impossible to show with a photo what they look like in real life, so I have included a description of the colour. Also with some colours the gems are not exactly the same colour from gem to gem because the colour in the cz material varies like natural gemstones would.
Red & Garnet:
This is a shade of orange which is very close to red, but is not actually red. There is some difference between the darkness and lightness of each stone.
This colour will not change if fired in a kiln. Red and Garnet cz look the same, but the material used is different, one is used to copy garnet and the other is trying to get as close to red as possible. I sell them seperately because you might notice something I haven't.
Yellow:
The AAA yellow cz's are as shown in the photo and the colour is the same from gem to gem.
This colour will not change if fired in a kiln
Tanzanite:
This is a blue colour that has a hint of purple, some stones have more of a hint of purple than other stones.
