Old Is Most Definitely New Again

CZ Rings
Antique jewelry is a delightful trend that is at long last coming round again. Characterised by gorgeous finished stones, exquisite cuts and polished finishes set in beautifully aged metals, antique pieces are hard to come by and consequently only available at cut throat prices.

Now don’t get into fashion frenzy just yet, antique jewelry can be yours even for the most modest of prices. From cubic zirconia rings to lovely bracelets, bangles and necklaces; this is finally a range of affordable high fashion jewelry for the masses.

An important factor that goes to picking the perfect replica antique piece is the cut of the stones used. Opt for older more seasoned cuts like the round cut, the emerald or the marquise that would have been popular in the olden days. Numerous jewelry shops and jewel makers can also recreate the beautiful aged look of a precious metal using cheaper materials like those used in making cubic zirconia rings.

Antique pieces also tend to be very elaborate in design as the most exquisite antiques were undoubtedly created for royalty. These designs often use a large stone surrounded by other smaller stones for a very expensive effect. The marquise cut in particular looks brilliant when offset with other stones.
Cubic Zirconia Rings
Do not be limited to diamonds; these are more of a modern fascination. The old world was charmed by the beauty and finesse of other precious stones like bloody red rubies, sapphires that are as deep a blue as the ocean and brilliant green emeralds, the very colour of envy. CZ rings and other jewelry can be made with stones that are coloured to look like rubies, sapphires and emeralds alike.

Old world Hollywood glamour is often recreated by stars on the red carpet, making this a good place to look for inspired jewelry design. Those vintage emerald earrings that Angelina Jolie wore to the Oscars or Julia Roberts exquisite diamond piece at the same event some years ago. All these can be recreated at a fraction of the cost and you too can have your very own antique cubic zirconia ring.
