How do we do it? We use the original CZ formula which was discovered in Russia in the 1970\u2019s, using laser technology to create the highest quality diamond alternatives on the market today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cutting and Polishing Technique<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every stone used when creating our CZ wedding bands is hand cut and polished with the same precision used to refine fine diamonds. The result: eye catching, sparkling cubic zirconia, boasting the same brilliance of the world\u2019s finest diamonds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unlike lower quality pieces, our CZ wedding bands are set in 14K, 18K gold and platinum. Our staff of master jewelers create everything from classic settings to designer inspired settings; giving our CZ wedding bands the look and feel of the highest quality bands on the market. In addition, we offer custom pieces; giving you the freedom to select from the latest looks, or even design one yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Since cubic zirconia first became available in the 1970\u2019s, CZ jewelry has been manufactured in a variety of grades and levels of quality. Mass-produced machine cut cubic zirconia are easily identified as simulated diamonds, while the highest-quality handmade CZ elude even experienced jewelers.\u00a0 If you\u2019re in the market for a CZ wedding band, engagement ring or even a statement piece; we encourage you to invest in high quality cubic zirconia. Like diamonds, these superior pieces will stand the test of time and remain brilliant day in and day out.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in learning more about CZ quality grades, we encourage you to read these recent blog posts:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Edit \" href=\"http:\/\/birkatelyon.com\/blog\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=75&amp;action=edit\"><strong>Understanding Cubic Zirconia Quality Grades: 1A, 5A, Hand-Cut \u2013 What does it all mean?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Edit \" href=\"http:\/\/birkatelyon.com\/blog\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=115&amp;action=edit\"><strong>Jewelry Alert: Manmade Diamonds, Synthetic Diamonds and Confusion in the Market<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We also encourage you to subscribe to our blog and sign up for our <a href=\"http:\/\/birkatelyon.com\">newsletter<\/a> in the right hand column.
