Cubic zirconia, with its dazzling brilliance and clarity, is celebrated as a stunning gemstone that beautifully combines luxury and affordability. BAIGAL uses only the highest-grade cubic zirconia, specifically 3A-5A, reflecting our commitment to quality and artistry. This remarkable stone captures the essence of elegance, making it an ideal choice for our creations that enhances the natural beauty of its wearer.

Cubic zirconia is a lab-created gemstone that mimics the visual appeal of diamonds, making it an attractive alternative without the steep cost. Its exceptional clarity and fire ensure that it rivals even the most precious stones, allowing for breathtaking designs to reflect the beauty of Mongolian culture, history, and traditions in each creation. 

In addition to its aesthetic charm, cubic zirconia offers an ethical and sustainable choice for our clients. Unlike traditional gemstones, which often involve environmentally damaging mining practices, cubic zirconia is created in a controlled environment, minimizing its ecological footprint. This commitment to sustainability resonates with those who value making conscientous choices without compromising luxury and beauty.

The versatility of cubic zirconia is another reason it has become a staple in our creations. Its ability to be fashioned into various shapes and colors opens up a world of creative possibilities, ensuring it perfectly complements the artistic designs stemming from our culture.

To maintain the beauty of cubic zirconia, it is important to care for it properly. Although it is a durable gemstone, it can still be scratched or damaged by harsher materials. We recommend storing cubic zirconia pieces in their BAIGAL jewelry box, away from other jewelry, to prevent scratches and keep them looking pristine.

When cleaning cubic zirconia, avoid using harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners. Instead, gently wipe the stones with a soft, damp cloth to remove any oils or residues, and dry them thoroughly to preserve their luster. With proper care, our cubic zirconia creations will retain its brilliance for years to come, reflecting the timelessness of the country that is Mongolia.

The black spinel is a gemstone that exudes a bold and captivating presence. Known for its deep, intense black color and brilliant luster, black spinel is both a powerful statement stone and a symbol of elegance. In our jewelry creations, black spinel is carefully chosen for its mesmerizing beauty, adding a touch of mystery and sophistication to each piece.

Unlike more well-known gemstones like diamonds or sapphires, spinel has historically flown under the radar, though it is equally stunning. Spinel forms naturally in a range of colors, from red to blue, but the black variety has gained attention for its dramatic, polished finish that rivals even the best black diamonds. Black spinel’s striking appearance comes from its unique crystal structure, which gives it an impressive brilliance when cut and polished.

With a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, spinel is one of the toughest gemstones, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear. Its resistance to scratches and chipping means that black spinel retains its stunning look for a long time period of time. Unlike black diamonds, which can sometimes have visible inclusions or require treatments to enhance their color, black spinel is naturally perfect and doesn’t require enhancement, giving it a pure, velvety appearance.

Historically, spinel has been mistaken for other gemstones, most notably in the British Crown Jewels, where the famous "Black Prince’s Ruby" is actually a large red spinel. Black spinel, however, has recently begun to shine in its own right, favored by modern jewelry designers for its sophisticated edge. In BAIGAL’s designs, black spinel is used to create pieces that offer a unique alternative to traditional black stones, pairing its deep hue with sleek, contemporary settings that highlight its natural brilliance.

Caring for black spinel is simple, due to its natural durability. However, like all gemstones, it is important to clean and store it properly to maintain its shine. To clean black spinel, use warm, soapy water and a soft brush to gently remove any dirt or oils that may accumulate from wear. Avoid using harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, as these can potentially damage the stone’s surface. When not being worn, store your black spinel jewelry in a soft pouch or their original BAIGAL jewelry box to prevent it from coming into contact with other harder gemstones, which could cause scratches.
