<\/a><\/p>\nWhy are our CZ better than diamonds?<\/h3>\n
The answer is actually quite simple:<\/p>\n
Affordability<\/strong>
\nDiamonds have been considered one of the world\u2019s most sought after gemstones for thousands of years. These beautiful, precious stones do however come at a very high price. Depending on supply and demand, these beautiful stones range in price but are always some of the most expensive gemstones on the market. Because these stones are manmade, they are available at a fraction of the price of diamonds. Rather than spending a fortune on a diamond, why not achieve the same look at a price you can comfortably afford?<\/p>\nEthics<\/strong>
\nThe unethical practices of many in the diamond trade have been brought to light by news outlets and Hollywood alike. Reports have surfaced in recent years of child abuse slavery and black market trading within the diamond industry. Today, many consumers consider purchasing diamonds to be an ethical issue. As a result, many are turning to cubic zirconia manufactures, like Birkat Elyon, for their high-end jewelry needs.<\/p>\nThere you have it, it\u2019s that simple! CZ are better than diamonds because they offer an affordable, ethical alternative to high priced, often illegally procured diamonds. If you\u2019re one of the millions of consumers worldwide seeking an option that is truly better than diamonds, you\u2019ve come to the right place!
