En un texto promocionando una línea de relojes extranjera en España, se lee: "For lovers of cubic zirconia, there's the classic XXX." Entiendo que zirconia deben ser circonios, pero no entiendo si quizás se refieren a brillantes/diamantes de circonio "or similar". Gracias anticipadas por vuestras sugerencias.

circonia cúbica
CZ son diamantes sinteticos y no se deben confundir con circonios:
Cubic zirconia (or CZ) is zirconium oxide (ZrO2), a mineral that is extremely rare in nature but is widely synthesized for use as a diamond simulant. The synthesized material is hard, optically flawless and usually colorless, but may be made in a variety of different colors. It should not be confused with zircon, which is a zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4). (sacado de la Wikipedia)

: Me parece la mejor opción. La RAE define "circonita" como "gema artificial de óxido de circonio, usada en joyería a imitación del diamante".

circones o circonios cúbicos
María, creo que estás en lo acertado al decir "circonios". O yo utilizaría circones (como plural de circón, que es el silicato de circonio que se utiliza en joyería). Lo que no haría es reemplazar por brillantes o diamantes ni nada por el estilo, ya que entiendo que son considerados de menor calidad (no sé mucho de joyería, pero, supongo que se puede prestar a confusiones).
