We\u2019re living through some pretty uncertain economic times. As people rein in their spending, the last thing on most minds is dropping a lot of money on expensive jewelry, whether its an engagement ring or some fancy earrings. But there IS an alternative, one that smart buyers have known for some time \u2013 and an option that makes even more<\/em> financial sense now: cubic zirconia, or “CZ.”<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birkat Elyon <\/a>has long been keeping people in dazzling, high-quality CZ jewelry. So what are some specific reasons that cubic zirconia can fill your need for a special treat or special occasion, without breaking the bank?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BETWEEN CZ AND \u201cTHE REAL THING,\u201d IT\u2019S HARD TO TELL THEM APART<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process by which cubic zirconia gems are manufactured\nhas consistently improved over the years. Very few people can tell the\ndifference between a real diamond or pearl and one that is “CZ.” It\ntypically requires an expert with a loupe to tell them apart. So why on earth\nwould any savvy shopper spend more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSURANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the outrageous cost, another financial downside to\nchoosing an actual precious gemstone is the insurance. Covering that pricey\nbauble in case of loss or theft (and these happen more than you know) is\nanother big-ticket add-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one reason that many wealthy celebrities opt for CZ\nversions of their favorite pieces, just in case something goes missing on a\nvacation or at an event. Not only won’t they be out the cost of\n“real” thing, but their insurance also doesn’t take a hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLESS EXPENSIVE\u201d DOESN\u2019T MEAN FEWER CHOICES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most people think of a \u201cdiamond\u201d alternative when they first think of \u201cCZ,\u201d there are so many other quality options. If you like pearls<\/a>, Birkat Elyon has you covered. Same for things like gemstones like emeralds or sapphires<\/a>. And the best part? Birkat Elyon features their gorgeous line of high-quality cubic zirconia stones in a full range of jewelry styles. Set a ring in the elegant \u201cCushion Cut\u201d or enjoy a pair of clean-looking \u201cstud\u201d earrings<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a shaky economy, the good news is that you can still <\/em>afford a gorgeous little something for someone (or yourself). But at any time, opting for the beautiful CZ jewelry of Birkat Elyon<\/a> is not just the fashionable choice \u2013 but the fiscally smart one, too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
