Are there different grades of cubic zirconia? I have cz studs of different prices on my ear right now from my piercer, brand unknown— one priced at $12 and another at $38. One of the $12 ones (both 1.5 years old now) clouded in a week while the other remains sparkly but not as sparkly as my $38 one, which has not (obviously) changed since I got it a year ago.
Is it inevitable that a CZ stone cloud? Will a diamond stone ever cloud?
Should I get a diamond over the $38 CZ for long term wear? I don’t ever plan to replace my studs unless they fall off. As a note, BVLA sells a 1.5mm diamond stud for $138 but a CZ stud for $80.
Thanks!
