A cubic zirconia necklace made of 585 gold combines two worlds: the warm, lasting shine of gold with the brilliant sparkle of a flawlessly cut stone. Cubic zirconia – often simply called "zirconia" – is a synthetic stone that remarkably resembles a diamond in hardness (Mohs hardness 8) and light refraction. Combined with 585 yellow or white gold, this creates necklaces that visually compete with diamond jewelry but remain much more affordable.

A gold necklace with a zirconia stone is the ideal choice for wearers who want to sparkle daily without sacrificing the high comfort and lasting value of 585 gold. Our collection includes delicate solitaires, double-row collars, and dainty motif pendants – each set with high-quality zirconia stones that sparkle permanently and do not become dull.

Why zirconia necklaces made of 585 gold?

Unlike fashion jewelry that fades after a short time, a gold necklace with zirconia retains its shine for decades with proper care. The zirconia stone itself is chemically stable, scratch-resistant, and does not lose brilliance – not even from UV light or skin creams. The 585 gold (14 karat) forms a warm, valuable base considered an ideal compromise between purity and hardness in European goldsmithing.

Italian goldsmiths have cultivated the art for generations of setting zirconia stones so that light is captured from all angles. In our zirconia necklaces, you will find prong, channel, and pavé settings – each with its own light effect. Before shipping, we manually check the secure hold of every setting, as a loose stone is the most common weak point in zirconia jewelry from cheaper providers.

Frequently asked questions about zirconia necklaces

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

Does the zirconia stone become dull over time?
No, high-quality cubic zirconia retains its shine for decades. Dulling usually occurs only due to surface dirt (skin oils, creams) – the original shine can be quickly restored with a soft cloth and mild soapy water.

What chain length suits a zirconia pendant necklace?
For solitaire pendants with zirconia, we recommend lengths between 42 and 45 cm so that the stone rests just below the collarbone. For multi-stone collars, longer chains (50–55 cm) appear more balanced.

Is 585 gold with zirconia suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 585 gold is very well tolerated by most skin types. The zirconia setting itself rarely comes into direct contact with the skin – the chain lies on the neck, and the stone hangs freely.
