Birkat Elyon<\/a> for purchasing a high-quality cubic zirconia ring.<\/p>\nDon\u2019t underestimate CZ<\/u><\/h3>\n
The process for creating cubic zirconia pieces has been perfected over the last half-century or so. In fact, the elegant house of Swarovski has routinely used \u201cCZs\u201d in their famous pieces. Cubic zirconia is now a staple in the jewelry world.<\/p>\n
CZs aren\u2019t \u201cfake\u201d<\/u><\/h3>\n
Some think that cubic zirconia pieces are \u201cfake diamonds.\u201d Not true. The stones are created in a lab from a carefully balanced mineral \u201crecipe.\u201d Thus, they are a stone \u2013 and not synthetic.<\/p>\n
CZs are Flawless<\/u><\/h3>\n
Almost every diamond has a flaw (or three). If you want a perfect diamond, you will shell out a king\u2019s ransom. On the other hand, cubic zirconia rings and jewelry are almost always flawless. This makes them sparkle more than an average diamond.<\/p>\n
Carats don\u2019t impact a CZ\u2019s price<\/u><\/h3>\n
When it comes to diamonds, the bigger the carat, the bigger the price tag. Not so with cubic zirconia; it may be heavier than a diamond, but it won\u2019t cost you as much.<\/p>\n
CZs are Environmentally-Friendly<\/u><\/h3>\n
These days, many people are concerned about the environmental and societal impact of diamond mining. This makes a cubic zirconia engagement or wedding ring a welcome option. Not only are you not <\/em>dealing in ethically-sketchy mining practices, but you’re also being kinder to the planet.<\/p>\nConsider the \u201cgrade\u201d of your CZ piece<\/u><\/h3>\n
Like gemstones, cubic zirconia jewelry pieces are ranked. The \u201c5A\u201d range is the highest grade, almost indistinguishable from diamonds.<\/p>\n
Give It A Good Setting<\/u><\/h3>\n
Like anything, the right kind of setting will make your cubic zirconia ring really \u201cpop.\u201d The experts at Birkat Elyon<\/a> will happily guide you in the best options to make your CZ engagement or wedding ring stand out for years to come \u2013 and also turn it into a treasured heirloom.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

More and more smart shoppers today are opting for high-quality cubic zirconia jewelry over pricier diamonds or other expensive gems. For those unfamiliar with \u201cCZs,\u201d they may not realize that quality cubic zirconia rings are almost indistinguishable from the pricier options. Even experts need to pull out the “loupe” to truly tell the difference.
