    I need 5mm 'diamonds' for a largish sculpture-type project (not
    jewelry), so I thought I'd use cubic zirconia, with which I have
    never worked. It needs to sparkle and look precious. Are there
    different qualities graded by a known standard like with precious
    stones, and what would be the price range for 5mm stone (I only need
    7)? Is there a significant difference between the different
    qualities? Any other white stone better for simulating diamond in
    this size (white saphires?)? Thanks, Janet
