The Blog

If you admire those romantic and famous celebrity engagements where the entire world knows about them, then this blog post is for you! You see, celebrities have something the rest of us don’t. They have fame. And it doesn’t come easy. They’ve worked for many years and sometimes several decades to master a talent.

Now don’t get me wrong, because I believe we all have talent. The only difference between you and them is that their talent gets displayed in public, usually in front of millions of people. Those people become fans, and hence the celebrity goes on to become famous.

The good news is, you can still have a celebrity style engagement with one of our CZ Engagement Rings. You don’t have to be super famous or a millionaire to enjoy your special day in the light. It’s possible to have an almost celebrity engagement and you didn’t even have to invest all those years. Pretty cool, right?

Just the other night after a fun weekend dinner a bunch of me and my friends were sitting around talking about this and that. Out of nowhere the subject of a cubic zirconia engagement ring came up. Just to clarify, most of us have already been engaged out of our group so this advice your about to read is sound advice for any of you ladies or men looking to make the move in the next few years to come.

The debate was over what kind of ring is appropriate and how much should be spent on a ring. The two sides basically come down to this…

Side 1:

An engagement is a once in a lifetime sort of thing so you should go all out and blow a dozen months worth of hard earned cash on a super flashy natural diamond ring. It should be purchased from a high-end retail store and it should be cared for with all your time, effort, and energy for the rest of your life.

Side 2:

Since we live in very uncertain economic times and technology has come so far as that cubic zirconia look just like diamonds, you should select a CZ ring to save money and still get a high quality piece of fine jewelry. It can be purchased on the internet and delivered to your home for right around $45 – $65 in very hot styles along with a free gift box.

I personally don’t mind that my ring was chosen from a selection of cubic zirconia engagement rings. In fact, it makes it easier on me to take care of and I have extra cash left over. Not to mention that I don’t just have one ring, I have several because they are so decently priced that I can mix and match!

Every once in a while you need something to cheer you up and make you feel like a special princess again. And what better way to feel like the queen of this world then by wearing some fine designer inspired jewelry? Well the best way to feel like a million bucks is by buying a fresh new cubic zirconia ring.

The five words that cubic zirconia rings bring into my mind are:

• Cute
• Elegant
• Well Priced
• Glamorous
• Stylish

All of which from my experience is very true!

Want to here a cool story about feeling like a million bucks?

Jay-Z gives Beyonce a $5,000,000 eighteen carat fully loaded diamond ring. Beyonce now has the same exact ring made with sterling silver rhodium and cubic zirconia diamonds. My guess is you didn’t know that because today women stare at her and deeply wonder if she’s wearing the real thing or the cheap ring replica.

If you are looking for fine jewelry that is inexpensive, breath-taking, and simple to handle you are looking for the modern times richer man’s jewelry. On the other hand if you want something that is very expensive, hard to buy, and extremely hard to maintain you want the standard typical diamond jewelry.

Why do I say that? Well about two or three decades ago you were considered something special if you had the money to buy up flashy dazzling diamonds as a way of expressing themselves. Today things have changed up a bit. You don’t have to spend that kind of cash to look good and treat yourself to something nice.

What I’m referring to is fine CZ jewelry and let me give you an example. Back in the day if you wanted to buy CZ wedding sets you really couldn’t because it wasn’t as popular. But today if you look at how much simulated diamonds are in vogue you would be blown away. A few things you should know:

1) It’s high quality and durable

2) You can usually get what you want for less then $50 or so

3) There are literally thousands upon thousands of styles to choose from

There you have it, this kind of fine jewelry can transform your look and make you look hot. It looks fantastic no matter what your wearing and no matter what the occasion is.

If you rather have the nicer more luxurious things in life, you no longer have to go with traditional yellow gold or super expensive shiny platinum. You can get the best bang for your buck by going with an alternate. Specially in today’s modern economy when the dollar is falling, prices are rising, and uncertainty has become the new way of life… why would you want to blow a year or two year’s worth of hard earned income on a single piece of fine jewelry?

For those of you who are on a budget, you can now be smart about what you buy and have brains and beauty in one attractive packaged deal. I’m referring to the precious metal known as solid sterling silver combined with simulated cubic zirconia man made diamonds. Who would’ve thought that technology would come so far as to get you a designer inspired emerald cut ring shipped to your front door for under $50?

Why should diamonds be only for the wealthy who can afford to spend thousands of dollars. Because the truth of the matter is the highest in quality simulated diamond pieces are now available, “diamonds are a girl”s best friend” is not as true today as it used to be. Every woman can have access to fine jewelry now, it’s no longer reserved for the super rich in life.

Although it’s very hard to tell the difference between a simulated diamond on CZ engagement rings against a natural diamond with the naked eye, you should take note that there are different levels of cubic zirconia stones. They range from A, AA, AAA, AAAA, and AAAAA. The five A quality is the best and the single A quality is the least best. I should add that although they range so widely all of them have a pretty good solid stone with sharp cuts.

I don’t think people, specially men, realize how important it is to have the perfect engagement ring. It makes a lasting impression that she probably will never forget as it’s one of the biggest moments in her life. Not to mention, you do want her to say yes, don’t you? I bet you do and that’s why we’re going to help you decide between natural diamonds and man-made cubic zirconia.

Reasons to get diamonds:

1) If you want to over-pay by up to 50x – 100x the price.

2) If you want to spend years of your life paying off the bill.

3) If you want to be worried, stressed, and consistently thinking about the security of the jewelry.

Reasons to get simulated diamonds:

1) You get an awesome price without sacrificing great quality

2) The wide variety, designs, styles, and selection to choose from

3) Most importantly a stress and worried free lifestyle

It’s critical to understand that we don’t live in ancient times anymore where you must get her a diamond or things won’t move forward. In fact it’s just the opposite, as it’s becoming very popular to have CZ rings stones in your ring instead of Diamond stones in your jewelry. Very simply because they are extremely gorgeous pieces and they are quiet affordable when compared to natural diamonds.

This may come as a surprise, but cubic zirconia wedding sets are much easier to cut then and shape then a diamond. Why you may ask? Because when a stone is naturally formed it’s extremely hard which makes the cutting & shaping process tougher. On the other hand, when you can manufacture a stone with man-made technology (CZ) you can get a perfect shape & cut.

Check out some of the most popular shapes below:

Our three personal favorites here are My CZ Rings are:

1) Round Brilliant Cut

These are very popular for engagement rings as they are simple and classic.

2) Princess / Square Cut

This kind of cut looks great on wedding sets because it brings out the fire in the stones.

3) Heart Cut

A representation of love and romance, how could you ever go wrong with a heart cut stone?

We’d love to hear what your favorite cuts & shapes are – leave us a comment below!

What did you have for lunch three days ago? If you’re like most people you don’t remember this because you are far too busy with day to day life to remember what you ate a few days back. Well there aren’t many things in life that are game changing which you hold in memory forever. In fact, very few things are this way. An engagement is a life changing event that you will remember forever.

The fact is that a cubic zirconia engagement rings is not just another thing you pick up as a fashionable item to wear on your finger for a day. There is a very deep and significant meaning behind it. The idea of symbolism is very strong in such a piece of fine jewelry. It represents:

1) Love

2) Significance

3) Eternal Happiness

4) A Promise

Instead of going with the common natural diamonds in your engagement ring why not change things up a bit by going with simulated man-made diamonds straight from the lab? If this is an event your going to remember for the rest of your life, it probably makes sense to make it an interesting one with something different.

So whenever the time comes for you to engaged or go shopping for the perfect ring, be sure to pick one that you will not forget!

At it’s very core fundamental level, a cubic zirconia visually is just like a diamond. It’s very tough for the naked eye to tell the two apart in itself. That’s how far technology mixed up with jewelry has come in this past decade. It’s basically a simulated diamond made my man. For some reason in the last few years the demand for rings with cubic zirconia stones has grown tremendously.

One reason that comes to mind is because of the high cost of diamonds. If you work on a normal salary like most of do in the United States, you could be saving up for years to buy a high end diamond ring. Not only that if you decide to get financing you will be paying it off for many months to come, if not longer.

For some people it’s just not worth the hassle of paying thousands of dollars of hard earned cash to get a diamond in return for it. You can get a beautiful looking cubic zirconia rings for a fraction of the cost. Let me give you an example. There’s a ring that we sell here for only $39.95. I decided to see how much it would cost to get it in diamonds. You would be shocked that it cost.

Sterling Silver w/ Cubic Zirconia Ring Cost: $39.95 + Shipping = under $45

White Gold w/ Expensive Diamonds Ring Cost: $2,799 + tax = over $3,000

You save $2,995 or 6,666% by going with CZ!

Now that’s what I call ‘The Perfect Cubic Zirconia Ring’
