New post for baking Cz! I bought two higher end cz, see the change!

So I bought two Swarovski zirconia rings yesterday and while they were already very pretty being the high grade Swarovski
, but it still helped take away the blue hue and increase the depth. I wish I had gotten pics in the same lighting but it was different times of day. Left is pretty bake and right on my hand is after 2 bakes. The smaller cushion is a stand in vacation and the big stone is obviously a cocktail ring, but I love it!!!

You put these in the oven? What 450 or broil..hehe? The change is remarkable. What an interesting idea.

Here is my new favorite, I only baked for one hour because it didn’t need much. It’s a tinted cz to be like an I color to look more realistic. It has no blue hue in any light. It’s a 6A stone from a seller on eBay that uses Chris Sweeney cz. High quality and ideal Cits.

You put in a cold oven inside of a glass baking dish, you can bake it anywhere from 1 to 3 hours at 400°. I would always start on the shorter end and you can always re-bake it another time. When the time is up do not take it out of the oven. Turn the oven off and let it fully cool down inside of the oven to avoid a quick temperature change that could crack or shatter your stone. Here is my latest favorite CZ, it’s a 6a High quality ideal cut CZ ring. The ones I buy now are already tinted to be HI and I diamond equivalent colors, and this fully eliminate the blue hue the most cz have and makes it look more realistic to a diamond. Especially in larger stones as most people cannot afford a clear diamond in a larger size. It looks a little bit more tinted in pictures than it is in person. So this one I just baked to give it a little bit more depth. It is my first tinted stone and I’m very impressed with it and the seller on Etsy.

I posted the directions in a post below, make sure that you do not break anything that is pleaded metal like a rose gold or yellow gold plated. Sterling silver is best.
