Sparkle that enriches every day.

A cubic zirconia necklace made of 585 gold combines two worlds: the warm, enduring shine of gold with the brilliant sparkle of a perfectly cut stone. Cubic zirconia—often simply called “zirconia”—is a synthetically produced stone whose hardness (8 on the Mohs scale) and light refraction come remarkably close to those of a diamond. Combined with 585 yellow or white gold, it creates necklaces that can visually rival diamond jewelry while remaining significantly more affordable.

A gold necklace with a cubic zirconia stone is the ideal choice for those who want to sparkle every day without sacrificing the high level of comfort and lasting value of 585 gold. Our collection includes delicate solitaire necklaces, double-row collier necklaces, and dainty pendants—each featuring high-quality settings that keep the cubic zirconia stones sparkling and clear over time.

Why choose 585 gold cubic zirconia necklaces?

Unlike fashion jewelry, which loses its appeal after a short time, a gold necklace with cubic zirconia retains its shine for decades when properly cared for. Cubic zirconia itself is chemically stable, scratch-resistant, and does not lose its brilliance—even when exposed to UV light or skin creams. 585 gold (14 karat) provides a warm, valuable foundation that is considered an ideal compromise between purity and hardness in European goldsmithing.

For generations, Italian goldsmiths have perfected the art of setting cubic zirconia stones so that they capture light from every angle. Our cubic zirconia necklaces feature prong, channel, and pavé settings—each with its own lighting effect. Before shipping, we manually check that every setting is secure, as a loose stone is the most common weak point in cubic zirconia jewelry from less reputable suppliers.

Frequently asked questions about cubic zirconia necklaces

How does a cubic zirconia necklace differ from a diamond necklace?
Visually, high-quality cubic zirconia stones are almost indistinguishable from small diamonds to the untrained eye. The difference lies in light refraction (diamond 2.42 / cubic zirconia 2.15) and price. A gold necklace with cubic zirconia offers a similar appearance at a fraction of the price of diamond jewelry—ideal as a gift or a second piece of jewelry.

Does cubic zirconia become cloudy over time?
No, high-quality cubic zirconia retains its shine for decades. Cloudiness is usually caused only by surface dirt (skin oils, creams)—a soft cloth and mild soapy water can quickly restore its original shine.

What chain length is suitable for a cubic zirconia pendant necklace?
For solitaire pendants with cubic zirconia, we recommend lengths between 42 and 45 cm, so that the stone rests just below the collarbone. Longer chains (50–55 cm) create a more balanced look with multi-stone collier necklaces.

Is 585 gold with cubic zirconia suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 585 gold is very well tolerated by most skin types. The cubic zirconia setting itself comes into direct contact with the skin only in rare cases—the chain rests against the neck while the stone hangs freely.
