We’re living through some pretty uncertain economic times. As people rein in their spending, the last thing on most minds is dropping a lot of money on expensive jewelry, whether its an engagement ring or some fancy earrings. But there IS an alternative, one that smart buyers have known for some time – and an option that makes even more financial sense now: cubic zirconia, or “CZ.”
Birkat Elyon has long been keeping people in dazzling, high-quality CZ jewelry. So what are some specific reasons that cubic zirconia can fill your need for a special treat or special occasion, without breaking the bank?
BETWEEN CZ AND “THE REAL THING,” IT’S HARD TO TELL THEM APART
The process by which cubic zirconia gems are manufactured has consistently improved over the years. Very few people can tell the difference between a real diamond or pearl and one that is “CZ.” It typically requires an expert with a loupe to tell them apart. So why on earth would any savvy shopper spend more?
INSURANCE
Besides the outrageous cost, another financial downside to choosing an actual precious gemstone is the insurance. Covering that pricey bauble in case of loss or theft (and these happen more than you know) is another big-ticket add-on.
This is one reason that many wealthy celebrities opt for CZ versions of their favorite pieces, just in case something goes missing on a vacation or at an event. Not only won’t they be out the cost of “real” thing, but their insurance also doesn’t take a hit.
“LESS EXPENSIVE” DOESN’T MEAN FEWER CHOICES
While most people think of a “diamond” alternative when they first think of “CZ,” there are so many other quality options. If you like pearls, Birkat Elyon has you covered. Same for things like gemstones like emeralds or sapphires. And the best part? Birkat Elyon features their gorgeous line of high-quality cubic zirconia stones in a full range of jewelry styles. Set a ring in the elegant “Cushion Cut” or enjoy a pair of clean-looking “stud” earrings.
During a shaky economy, the good news is that you can still afford a gorgeous little something for someone (or yourself). But at any time, opting for the beautiful CZ jewelry of Birkat Elyon is not just the fashionable choice – but the fiscally smart one, too!
