Cubic Zirconia: The “Green” Alternative

“Green” and “sustainability” are big buzzwords these days. We’ve learned to recycle more, cut down on waste, and do other simple things to help the planet. Those earth-friendly habits can extend to beautiful jewelry, too! Birkat Elyon has been in the business of high-quality cubic zirconia pieces that are very eco-friendly. And even better, they’re virtually indistinguishable from real gems.

There are some very smart reasons to choose cubic zirconia over actual diamonds. One of the main impacts diamond mining has on the environment involves enormous amounts of water usage. The depth of diamond mines impacts and lowers the water table, which in turn severely impacts local farms. Plus, the mining itself affects the water quality impacting the health of nearby communities.

Diamond mining deforests the surrounding areas, emits toxic chemicals into the air, plus creates significant levels of noise pollution. But if you crave elegant jewelry, cubic zirconia, like the quality CZ pieces at Birkat Elyon, fits the bill in a way that avoids all of the above issues.

Cubic zirconia is expertly manmade and poses none of the environmental impacts. The technology for making dazzling engagement and wedding rings, earrings, bracelets, and more just keeps getting better. Only a highly trained jewel expert (using a loupe) can spot the difference between CZ and real diamonds.  Birkat Elyon specializes only in the highest-quality cubic zirconia jewelry, so you can get all the sparkle you desire and know that no one will be the wiser. That’s probably one reason so many celebrities sport CZ jewels on the red carpet – they can get their “bling” on and know that they’re doing something environmentally-conscious at the same time.

CZ jewels are also far more affordable than real gems. You’ll feel great that you’re not only helping the environment but saving real money, too! That’s the kind of “green” everyone can get behind.

One other bonus: Birkat Elyon allows you to securely shop for beautiful CZ jewelry online, saving you time — and a gas-eating trip in the car.

So, if you want to sport the most stylish kinds of jewelry and stay “green,” look no further than Birkat Elyon. We offer a full line of high-quality cubic zirconia pieces for men and women, and for every occasion.
