These days, more people are taking steps to get the most for their money. That includes luxury items like jewelry. Whether it’s an engagement ring, a bracelet, or dazzling pair of earrings, cubic zirconia is the perfect option for smart shoppers. It’s virtually indistinguishable from diamonds, more eco-friendly, and far more affordable.
Birkat Elyon is one of the top purveyors of beautiful CZ jewelry and is here to help you pick the perfect ring with these expert tips.
UNDERSTAND GRADING
Just like diamonds, cubic zirconia stones are graded using the 5A system. The higher the number of “A”s, the higher the quality of the stone. Paying attention to the grade of your CZ is essential.
CONSIDER THE CUT, COLOR, CLARITY
These three elements impact the overall appearance of the CZ stone. Birkat Elyon offers the most popular cuts, like Round, Oval, Asscher, Pear, Emerald and more. No matter which one you pick, our high-quality CZ looks like a flawless natural diamond.
PRECISION IS IMPORTANT
When shopping for a CZ stone, you’ll want it to be well-cut, with crisp angles and edges. Of course, it should also be free of chips and pits. The good news is that Birkat Elyon offers the finest quality cubic zirconia pieces, making it easy to find the perfect ring.
CHECK THE SETTING
You’ll want a setting that is secure and sturdy, with no rough edges that could snag on clothes or catch on hair.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE BAND
Along with the stone and the setting, the band is essential. Avoid plated metal or brass in favor of gold or platinum.
PRICE: CHEAPER IS NOT BETTER
While cubic zirconia rings are the smart money alternative to expensive diamonds, don’t be taken in by cheap prices. Cheap CZs are made with inferior materials – and it shows. Opt for a reputable dealer like Birkat Elyon. For years, we’ve served our customers with top-quality, affordable pieces that will dazzle for years to come.
