The Allure of Cubic Zirconia Engagement Rings
January 21st, 2011Every woman has dreamed of that special day when her knight in shining armor professes his love for her while presenting her with a gorgeous diamond ring. In today’s world, that shining diamond ring is just a fantasy for many young couples. Many have been hit by our struggling economy and luxury items, like diamonds, are too expensive to buy. As a writer for an online jewelry store, I have noticed a growing trend…people are purchasing cubic zirconia rings as an alternative to diamonds.
I know some of you that are reading this are gasping at the thought of wearing anything other than a diamond on that special finger. However, I challenge anyone to test of trying to tell a real high-quality diamond from a real high-quality cubic zirconia. Many jewelry stores are selling 10K and 14K white and yellow gold bands with titillating cubic zirconia gemstones that add exquisite luster to a myriad of beautiful settings.
Cubic zirconia is the professional term for simulated diamonds also called synthetic diamonds. Most of us have been taught to be afraid of terms such as simulated or synthetic…but the fact that they are manmade is actually an advantage. Because cubic zirconia is grown in a controlled environment, unlike diamonds; they are free from any visible inclusions or dirt trapped inside the stone. This gives these luxurious gemstones an added edge of being able to attain high clarity and color markings. It is almost impossible to find a lackluster cubic zirconia.
Consider the price versus quality ratio when buying a diamond or cubic zirconia engagement ring. For anyone on a budget, the chance of purchasing a quality diamond is not very high. An inexpensive diamond will be cloudy with inclusions. However, an inexpensive cubic zirconia will still exude an intense sparkle that casts a striking allure over the ring’s motif.
Remember, being on a fixed income doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice owning an exquisite symbol of your love for the sake of owning a real diamond. There’s nothing wrong with choosing a gorgeous cubic zirconia over a diamond engagement ring whose beauty and shimmer have the power to stand the test of time without breaking the bank.

The price is one obvious advantage, but also today an ever increasing number of buyers prefer CZs (and other simulants) over diamonds due to the fact that they are environmentally friendly and conflict free stones.

Really nice looking engagement rings. You are right though it seems so ingrained that fine diamonds are suppose to be worn. I wonder how many people can even tell the difference.

The article in your blog reminds me some old memory.It gives me happy.I think we will have a harmonious talk.

Thank you for the input you guys. I agree that being a real part of the blogosphere, as in actively talking via comments and linking to other bloggers and not spamming is important. And, a Jean mentioned, it is crucial to have something to really talk about. Not everyone feels comfortable writing a public diary of sorts, so for those who don’t, I say don’t. It will get old really fast!

I believe that diamonds can never be replaced by the cubi’s, but they are a great alternative.

Really mind blowing ring. No doubt made by famous designer and amazingly executed. Most importantly its a double layered 10k white gold with princess cut diamond. Must be very expensive.

Yeah, I do agree with you every girl wants that her boyfriend or would be husband propose her with a diamond ring. Not because it looks great but it’s a special moment which every girl has and wants to remember for a life that how much her boyfriend or husband make that moment special.However, due to downfall in economy, people prefer cubic zirconia as compare to diamond rings . They have set their own benchmark, Looks pretty too on girls.

Let’s be honest. The whole reason women like to have a nice diamond ring is to show it off to other women. Men don’t care! That being said most women can’t tell the difference between a cubic zirconia and a real diamond without looking through some kind of magnifying glass. I can get the reaction I want from other women without paying the price!
