Cubic Zirconia (commonly referred to as CZ) is a man-made synthetic gem that is created by scientists in labs. While CZ does occur in the natural environment, the ability to create the gem in labs means that the supply can easily meet the demand of the jewelry market.

If you are a jewelry maker or own a jewelry store, you most likely want to buy your cubic zirconia in loose form so that you can make whatever type of jewelry your customers tend to like. Most online wholesalers offer CZ and other synthetic gems in loose form in bulk so that you have the option to make many different pieces of jewelry.

If your customers are happier with gems of a different color, do not worry. There are two different shades of purple cubic zirconia gems: amethyst, lavender and violet. The amethyst CZ is a deeper shade than the lavender.

The lavender cubic zirconia is very light lavender, adding just a tint of color to an otherwise white gem. This light, pastel color is very sophisticated and classic. The violet cubic zirconia is a deep shade of blue-purple that many women find complimenting.

Many jewelry lovers fall for blue-colored gems, and there are plenty of CZ gems that come in blue shades. The aqua cubic zirconia is a light blue-green color and dates back to 1937, as it can be found in various natural places. This aqua CZ is perfect for summertime.

The tanzanite cubic zirconia is a deeper blue shade and, like its aqua counterpart, dates back to 1937. Lastly, the sapphire CZ is rich in color, comparable to royal blue. It is made from corundum, a material that is virtually indistinguishable from real gems.

If your customer prefers shades of yellow, there are two different shades available: champagne and citrine yellow. Champagne cubic zirconia has become very popular in the market, as has the champagne diamond. Its tinge of yellow/brown is subtle yet very classy. The citrine yellow CZ is a brighter yellow and is perfect for those who want to make a statement.

If you are in the market for cubic zirconia gems, try one of the colors listed above, or one of the other colors which include: emerald, garnet, padparadschah, peridot, and pink. There is a color and shade to match every customer's preference! Purchasing loose CZ gems through a wholesale dealer is economically sound and smart.
