Diamonds may indeed be a girl\u2019s best friend, but there\u2019s no reason why they should be her only<\/em> friend. Cubic zirconia jewelry<\/a> lets you acquire a large collection of \u201cfriends\u201d and has many benefits over authentic diamonds. Here are the top five reasons why synthetics have a leg up on the real deal.<\/p>\n

Substitute for Your Authentic Diamonds<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you enjoy jewelry \u2013 and who doesn\u2019t? \u2013 there\u2019s a great chance that your collection is varied enough to contain more than just cubic zirconia jewelry. It\u2019s likely that you have at least a few items with diamonds and\/or other precious gemstones in them. Although it\u2019s not economically feasible for most women to have an enormous collection of diamond rings, necklaces and earrings, most receive some of these beautiful items as gifts or as treats for themselves over the years.<\/p>\n

Although you might feel comfortable wearing some of those items most of the times or most of those items some of the times, it\u2019s extremely doubtful that you want to wear all of them all of the time. What do you do, for instance, if you\u2019re traveling someplace for an extended amount of time and want to look your best but don\u2019t want to risk losing your whole collection?<\/p>\n

One great option is to leave your more expensive jewelry locked up at home or in a safety deposit box and bring substitute cz jewelry with you instead. High-quality cubic zirconia, like those found in Birkat Elyon\u2019s collection, catches the light just right<\/em> and can fool even some of the most astute jewelry aficionados into thinking it\u2019s the real thing. This means that you can look your best without having to fret over losing your best.<\/p>\n

Savings<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you know anything at all about diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds, then you know this: they\u2019re not cheap. In fact, as we explored<\/a> earlier this month, they can be extremely expensive. Some cost a few hundred, some a few thousand, some tens of thousands and some \u2013 if you want to feel like a movie star \u2013 can run into the millions.<\/p>\n

Cubic zirconia jewelry, of course, is far more affordable. The cost for this type of jewelry is only a fraction of that of comparable authentic versions. They say diamonds are forever, and it\u2019s entirely possible whoever that they\u2019re referring to the length of their price tags when \u201cthey\u201d say it. Fill out your collection with some cz rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches and pendants. Otherwise you may never be able to own enough jewelry for every occasion.<\/p>\n

Quality<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make no mistake, diamonds and other precious stones have amazing qualities that make them truly beautiful. But they\u2019re not alone in that regard. Cubic zirconia comes in many different levels of quality, but you\u2019ll only find the absolute finest at Birkat Elyon.<\/p>\n

There are five types of cz that are readily available, and only the Russian Formula variety that\u2019s featured in our collection is exquisite enough to beautifully capture light in such a way as to fool experienced jewelers and gemologists. Our cz stones have all been precisely hand-cut and polished by veteran artisans.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s more to any piece than just the stone. Forget about tacky, cheap metal plating, because we never<\/em> use it. Instead, all of our bands are available in pure platinum or completely solid 14k or 18k white or yellow gold. Once you see one of our items in person, you\u2019ll never look at cubic zirconia jewelry the same ever again.<\/p>\n

Colors<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Birkat does have a huge collection of colorless synthetic diamonds, we also offer an incredible variety of colored jewels. CZ jewelry is available in brilliant whites, pinks, blues, oranges, purples, greens and champagnes. Colored precious gemstones can often cost significantly more than colorless ones, but colored cz is readily available at prices anyone can afford. This allows you to get the variety you need and have items to wear for any occasion imaginable.<\/p>\n

Conflict-Free<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many diamond shoppers today know about the dangers of \u201cconflict\u201d stones. For the uninitiated, conflict diamonds are those that are mined in war zones and sold to finance insurgencies or other war efforts. No one intentionally purchases these kinds of stones, and most intentionally search for those that have been certified as conflict-free by the Kimberly Process.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a noble effort, and no one is blaming anyone who ends up with possible conflict jewels. Nor should they. The reason? It\u2019s nearly impossible<\/a> to 100 percent guarantee that a precious stone came from a conflict-free zone. One in four diamonds on the market are conflict stones, and because most of the world\u2019s diamonds pass through Surat, India regardless of where they originated from. Thousands of new diamonds from various locations end up there every day and are mingled together to be cut and polished.<\/p>\n

So while everyone should be applauded for doing what they can to purchase conflict-free diamonds, the best way to ensure there is no controversy associated with yours is to purchase cubic zirconia jewelry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
