Aside from the obvious beauty and affordability of cubic zirconia jewelry, there are a number of other benefits to owning and wearing this flawless diamond simulant. One of the popular traits of a cubic zirconia that’s not visible to the naked eye is the stone’s strength. With an impressive 8.5 level on the scale of hardness, the cubic zirconia is strong in both beauty and durability.
If you are someone who already owns genuine diamonds, then you may look to cubic zirconia as an acceptable substitute while you’re traveling or just out on the go and prefer not to wear your expensive jewelry. Believe it or not, people often spend a lot of money on a piece of jewelry and then never wear it. Why? Perhaps because they are afraid of losing or damaging their precious accessory, or maybe they worry about having it stolen. Whatever the case, it’s often easier to wear a piece of jewelry that can be replaced or repaired at an affordable cost. If you were to lose a genuine diamond stone, it could be expensive to find another in the same size and color match and then have it reset by a professional jeweler. In many cases, you could purchase a new piece of cubic zirconia jewelry for less than it would cost to replace a single genuine diamond in an already existent piece of jewelry.
Speaking of genuine diamonds, one of the most popular looks in today’s jewelry is that of the cluster design. If you were to search for a cluster ring, cluster earring or even the classic tennis bracelet, it may be difficult to find one that features multiple diamonds that are of the same quality and clarity. For instance, one may look good and the next may have visible inclusions or even appear cloudy. With a cubic zirconia cluster ring, cubic zirconia stud earrings or cz tennis bracelet, you will have a flawless, eyeclean look in every single stone.
When it comes to looking great, cubic zirconia ranks atop the wishlist for many who love a bold look that goes with every color in the rainbow. If you wear clear cubic zirconia, you won’t have to worry about matching your jewelry with your wardrobe. Because it is not color specific, clear cubic zirconia goes equally well with denim, your favorite business suit or even your little black dress. If color is a concern for you, you will be glad to know that cubic zirconia is available in a variety of colors that are sure to suit your style. Best of all, they remain affordably priced when compared to the genuine gemstones that they are created to imitate.
In conclusion, some of the benefits of wearing cubic zirconia are obvious. Among them, the bold look, eyeclean quality and affordable price. Those that may not be so obvious include the strength and durability of cubic zirconia, along with its longstanding reputation as being the most respected diamond simulant in the world. If you want the perfect combination of hidden strength and obvious beauty, cubic zirconia jewelry is a ‘shining’ example of what you can enjoy at a price that you will love.

Cubic Zirconia Engagement Rings: Creative Ways to “Pop the Question” This Holiday Season September 14, 2009
Posted by Almost Diamonds in Engagement Rings.add a comment
Many people get engaged over the holidays, which means that the time is drawing near for you to figure out a creative way to propose with a dazzling cubic zirconia engagement rings in sterling silver. These rings are extremely popular among the young couple on a budget or the thrifty shoppers who would rather put thousands of dollars toward their down payment on a home rather than on a genuine diamond ring. If you have chosen to give her a fake diamond engagement ring set in sterling silver over the holidays, below are a few creative ways to present it with a unique touch.
The classic bended knee is always popular for a marriage proposal but, for those who are a little less traditional, there are plenty of options. One of the sweetest ways to propose is to tie a piece of thread or ribbon around the cz engagement ring and dangle it from a Christmas tree branch as though it were an ornament. If this sounds like your style, be sure to place the cubic zirconia engagement ring on the tree while she is out of the room. Let her find it and then be ready to make your plea on a moment’s notice. There is nothing better than the element of surprise when it comes to a proposal.
If you would prefer to gift wrap the fake engagement ring and place it underneath the tree, purchase a Christmas card that allows you to record a voice message. These are commonly available at retail stores or anywhere holiday cards are sold. You will need to get close to the card when you record a message and you can replay it simply by opening and closing the card. When the time has come, ask her to open the card first. As she opens it, she will hear your voice and your proposal. When she looks up, have the gift-wrapped ring box in hand with a smile.
For the truly romantic at heart, consider hiring a horse drawn carriage to take both you and she on a romantic ride through town or the countryside. When the time is right, ask her to hold out her hand (palms up) and close her eyes. Place the ring box inside of her hand and say, “If you will let me, I want to share a lifetime of memories just like this one – with you.” As she opens her eyes and sees the box containing a dazzling cubic zirconia engagement ring set in sterling silver, a big smile is sure to follow.
If you prefer to propose on Christmas day, consider purchasing a very small stocking and placing the cubic zirconia engagement ring inside. When all of the gifts have been opened and everyone is sitting around the tree, politely tell her that “there is one more gift.” Excuse yourself from the room and return with a small stocking, which you would then present to her along with your proposal.
The holidays are a wonderful time to spend with family, friends and loved ones that mean so very much to us all throughout the year. The wintery season is filled with snow that makes anything appear possible and seems to restore a beauty that is reminiscent of a postcard image. With so much magic filling the air and lightly fallen snow that makes everything seem new again, why not start a new beginning with that special someone. By purchasing a sterling silver engagement ring , you can give her the look of a genuine diamond that she can feel good about wearing every day. Just make sure to let her know that it is a cubic zirconia engagement ring and not a genuine diamond. You can always purchase a real diamond later and start your new life together with financial security.
