But that\u2019s all changing. Today, more couples are choosing non-diamond alternatives for this special symbol of commitment. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Birkat Elyon<\/a> offers dazzling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/bridal\/engagement-rings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cubic zirconia rings<\/a>, but that\u2019s not all. Here are a few details on this trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For modern couples, diamonds aren\u2019t just super-expensive, but the way in which they\u2019re mined doesn\u2019t sit well with issues around sustainability. Diamond mines create soil erosion, deforestation, and contaminate groundwater.\u00a0 So \u201cgreen\u201d-minded couples find that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/bridal\/engagement-rings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cubic zirconia rings<\/a> give them all the sparkle and beauty they want without harming the environment (plus, they\u2019re a lot more affordable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another trend in non-diamond alternatives is choosing a colored stone for the engagement ring. Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Halle Berry opted for dramatic colorful stones in their rings. While certain gemstones are more delicate than diamonds, you can take advantage of this trend without the worry of damage: durable cubic zirconia jewelry can also be found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/cubic-zirconia-rings\/designer-inspirations?stone_color=19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">colors that mimic the most popular gemstones<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One style benefit of diamonds is that they\u2019re clear and go with everything you wear. However, you can get the same advantage with a beautiful cubic zirconia ring. They\u2019re almost indistinguishable from a diamond and are available in the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/cubic-zirconia-rings\/engagement-rings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">elegant cuts and settings<\/a> as \u201cthe real thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the beauty of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/cubic-zirconia-rings\/engagement-rings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cubic zirconia ring<\/a>, smart couples appreciate how worry-free they are. First, they\u2019re much more affordable than a diamond; second, if you lose it on vacation or your honeymoon, you won\u2019t have the stress of being out all of that money (one reason why so many celebrities leave their expensive stuff at home and travel with CZ replicas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get to know the many non-diamond options for your engagement ring (or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/cubic-zirconia-bracelets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">other pieces of jewelry<\/a> for that matter). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Birkat Elyon<\/a> has you covered!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years, diamonds have been the go-to choice for an engagement ring.
