Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but they are not really friendly to a girl�s budget. Since CZ so closely resembles the diamond, it is a popular gemstone used in jewelry such as rings, earring, pendants and bracelets and can be a great alternative to this expensive diamond. Cubic Zirconia Rings offer the beauty of a diamond for only a portion of the cost.
Some Advantages of Cubic Zirconia (CZ)
There are many advantages of CZ. The appearance is probably the most important aspect of purchasing CZ rings. Cubic Zirconia possesses a dazzling diamond-like appearance. It is a synthetic gemstone which is flawless and clear enough to rate a "D" on the diamond scale for clarity. Cubic Zirconia Rings have a brighter sparkle than crystal because it has a higher dispersion rate than diamonds. This allows the gemstone to shine with many different colors refracted in its crystalline structure. Additionally, Cubic Zirconia is very durable.
Consider the Setting and Shape
The type of metal that the Cubic Zirconia is set in can help or hinder the look. The setting is the foundation of Cubic Zirconia Rings. If the foundation looks cheap or shoddy, the overall effect will be disappointing. The recommendation is to purchase CZs in a precious metal setting because it will enhance the look and elegance of the CZ. There are many options of precious metal settings from which to choose: gold, platinum, rhodium plated sterling silver or plated sterling silver.
The shape of CZs also varies widely. They include: round, marquise, oval, square, or pear-shaped. Take careful consideration of the size of your fingers and how certain shapes can either complement or distract. A marquise or oval shape can elongate short fingers. A ring with a wide band will make fingers appear shorter. A delicate setting can seem small on large hands.
Quantity
Most CZ rings have just one stone. A problem with more than one stone is the larger the number of stones in a piece of jewelry, the more attention is attracted to the piece of jewelry. The point of jewelry is to accessorize so that everybody is looking at you, not just a ring. It rather defeats the purpose! However, if done discreetly, with a few smaller stones, it can have a captivating effect. Think of a beautiful pink CZ in the center with two smaller white CZs on either side. When you think about quantity, also think about the size.
Finally - The Price Benefit
The major difference in CZ rings and diamond rings is the price. When you can have the appearance, beauty and durability of a diamond at a fraction of the cost, shouldn't you consider it? The economy has placed a major part in the way we spend money.
A 1 carat CZ is priced at less than $10. The cost of a flawless 1 carat diamond is nearly $4,000. When all the pros and cons are weighed, consider a ring made with Cubic Zirconia for beauty and durability at a reasonable price.
