Fashion and CZ Jewelry



Fashion is a very interesting thing! Every now and then something becomes popular and everyone just follow the trend. These trends usually come and go quickly. However, there's a jewelry product that has been on the road to popularity for quite a while and as time goes by, people seem to like them more and more. This type of jewelry is CZ jewelry. They are quickly taking over the jewelry market.

CZ (cubic zirconia) is the crystalline form of zirconium dioxide, which is another way of saying it's a synthetic man-made diamond. Very similar to a genuine diamond, it is most often clear and it sparkles. The whiter and more clear the stone, the more valuable it is considered. Five-star AAAAA is the highest-quality. The cut though, may be slightly different compare to diamond. Cubic Zirconia’s cuts are smoother and more rounded.

For a long period of time, jewelers and scientists around the world have tried to find ways to use other materials to substitute real diamonds, something more affordable for common people. Then in 1960's, French scientists succeeded in creating CZ crystals. It was a big step; however, the crystals were too small to be popular. In 1970s Russian scientists found and introduced a method called “skull crucible”, and this made a revolutionary change in the history of Cubic Zirconia stones. Around 1976, couple years after the method was adopted, mass production of Cubic Zirconia stones officially began.

It took almost a full 100 years to get to the stage in science where diamonds-alike could be replicated! Now CZ jewelries are available almost in every jewelry store, what are you waiting for? Get your CZ jewelries now! No matter it’s a ring or a pair of earrings, you will instantly look glamorous!

What is CZ Jewelry all about?




Celebrity CZ jewelry
Nowadays, we see a lot of CZ jewelry on the market, but have you ever wondered what does CZ actually means? The sign of CZ has also been engraved on some sterling silver jewelries encrusted with glittering crystals, so what does CZ stands for? These actually are very smart questions! CZ actually stands for 'Cubic Zirconia'. Cubic Zirconia is a beautiful man-made gemstone that is durable, inexpensive and created in a close resemblance to diamond. A lot of people like CZ jewelries because they carry the look of diamond jewelries but only cost a fraction the genuine diamond. It’s logical because even if you do wear diamond jewelries, sometimes you worry about losing them. Cubic Zirconia cost much less than a genuine diamond thus it takes your concerns away.

Chemically, Cubic Zirconia stone is the cubic crystalline form of Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2). It is important to stress that it is Zirconia, and not Zircon. Zircon is the name for Zirconium Silicate (ZrSiO4), which is a different chemical compound.

Since 1892 with the discovery of the yellowish monoclinic natural mineral of Zirconium Oxide, scientists have begun their journey to find ways to create synthetic diamonds. A mineral known as baddeleyite caught attention from gemologists worldwide due to its potential of becoming a diamond simulant. Sodium Titanate (introduced in 1955), Yittrium Aluminium Garnet (YAG) and GGG (Gadolinium Gallium Garnet) all served as predecessors for simulants. However, the problem with them was that they were not so promising in capturing diamond's brilliances.

In 1960's, French scientists succeeded in creating CZ crystals, but the crystals were too small to be popular. In 1970s Russian scientists found and introduced a method called “skull crucible”, and it made a revolutionary change in the history of Cubic Zirconia stones. Around 1976, couple years after the method was adopted, mass production of Cubic Zirconia stones officially began.

Generally, the quality of Cubic Zirconia can be determined by four main criteria. These are carat (or carat weight), clarity, color, and cut. The whiter and more clear the stone, the more valuable it is considered. Five-star AAAAA is the highest-quality. Top rated Cubic Zirconia stone carries the magnificent shine just as in those of real diamond.

inspiring independents!!


We are pleased to announce that we made it into the top 30 list of outstanding and inspiring independent retail jewellery shops in the UK and Ireland!! As voted by our peers in the industry, so probably the hardest and most critical audience to please . . . .

On that note, we are also quite sad to see one of our most favourite pieces of jewellery leave the shop . . . at least it’s gone to a good home. Say au revoir to this magnificent smoky Quartz and 18ct white gold ring by Jason – we will miss you!

Baroque is very proud to be showcasing the new bling-on-the-block by BR Republic. The label has already gained huge interest from fans in the music business including the king and queen of hipsters, Jay Z and Beyonce Knowles, and Maxim from the Progidy has had one piece exclusively designed for him featuring a hand grenade.

We have a few pieces from the extensive collectionon display in-store, including the Spartan ring and the Leonidas pendant pictured.

The collection draws heavily on Armoury and Romanesque imagery all handcrafted in sterling silver (the pieces have a really nice weight to them) and covered in black Rhodium plate or varying coloured diamonds. Channel your inner gladiator this summer !!

jewellery designer


Every now and again, we come across a jewellery designer that makes us sit up and look twice. Sean Leane is one of those designers. Not that Leane is new to the design business – over the last twenty years, he’s racked up an impressive range of awards, including 2009 UK Jewellery designer of the Year and UK Luxury Designer of the Year. Critically acclaimed, clients include Sarah Jessica Parker and Daphne Guiness. Leane has also collaborated on the catwalk with Alexander McQueen, having created an amazing headpiece. It’s easy to see that Leane is at the top of his game at knowing how to create stunning visual masterpieces. Sotherby’s Auctions weren’t wrong when they described his creations as ‘antiques of the future’.

Accolades apart, what really bowled us over was the beauty of Leane’s award-winning Cherry Blossom range. Inspired by Japanese folklore, where white and crimson flowers were deemed as seeds spread by Goddesses from cloud covered Fuji mountains, this elegant collection of oxidised silver and gold in delicate pastel pinks and white captures the essence of the Orient and the beauty of nature.

Baroque is proud to introduce the Cherry Blossom range, which includes something for all tastes. For those who prefer simplicity, there are the single rings entwined with blossom and elegant blossom stud earrings. For those who favour delicacy with an edge, then you check out the cherry blossom hoop pendant and earrings in silver or gold plate. And for those who for something truly striking, one of the boldest pieces from the range is the heavy gold plated Cherry Blossom cuff, complete with the designer’s name engraved on the inside. At Baroque, we’re pretty confident that you’ll be as inspired by this range as we are.
