Default Cubic zirconia compatibily issue

Hi,

It’s the first time I’ve been experiencing this kind of problem.
I’m embedding CZ (2mm grade AAA) without encasing them.
After a day or two, little craks are developping around the CZ, until the CZ pops out. I looks like an incompatibility issue to me. But this seem kink of odd since like I said I’ve never encounter this problem before.
Did anyone experience the same kind of problem ? Is there a fix ?

Thanks in advance for your help

PS, I forgot to mention that my bead go straight from the torch to the kiln. So it’s not a batch annealing issue.
