Cubic Zirconia, the new-age diamond

Cubic zirconia, or CZ as it is popularly known, is the crystalline form of zirconium dioxide. It is a clear crystalline substance which is flawlessly transparent and possesses several diamond-like qualities. It is usually colorless, but color may be added during the process of making it thus giving it a better aesthetic appeal and making it more suitable for use in jewelry like bracelets, necklaces, pendants, clip on earrings and other fashion accessories. Cubic zirconia is often confused with Zircon, which is another type of zirconium compound. CZ, or “artificial diamond”, has been commercially manufactured since 1976 and has rivaled real diamonds ever since because of its low cost, yet real diamond-like qualities. CZ is so alike real diamonds in appearance that it often needs an expert to distinguish between the two, so much so, that its diamond-like qualities even earned it a rightly coined marketing name “Diamonique”.


Cubic zirconia was discovered in 1892 as a naturally occurring, but extremely rare material and its qualities and the uses that it could be put to, prompted scientists to work on procedures to make CZ in laboratory. The first successful attempt came in 1930, however it was not until 1973 that the Soviets perfected the technique and finally in 1976, commercial production began. These days, production of Cubic zirconia around the world is in excess of a hundred million carats annually. This alone is an indicator that certifies the growing popularity of CZ and its qualities that jewelry designers swear by. Innovations and the latest CZ manufacturing techniques have further enhanced and added to its quality. Thin carbon-film coatings and newer techniques of polishing, extremely precise tools and lasers for immaculate cuts and finer crystal making techniques have not only made the humble Cubic zirconia a fine gemstone, but have also reinforced its status as the most promising substitute to diamonds.

Mad for CZ Jewelry!

What’s better than sparkly beautiful jewelry that turns heads when you walk in a room? How about glittery jewels that don’t cost a lot and look just as glam. We’re talking about CZ jewelry. Formerly, this inexpensive substitute for pricier diamonds and gemstones was thought to be for formal occasions only. Thankfully, fashion now-a-days is taking itself a lot less seriously.

cz jewelry
Women are not just wearing CZ jewelry. They’re flaunting it day and night, for work and play. And with a trivial price tag compared to other luxuries, you can feel confidant when buying it. CZ jewelry is man made, but that doesn’t mean it’s fake. Actually, it just means that the crystals were grown in a controlled environment. This means that CZ jewelry is absolutely perfect. The real stones can’t even compare in this aspect.

If you’re even noticed a fashion-forward celeb sporting a multi-million dollar necklace or clip on earrings on the red carpet, then you’ve probably drooled over their bling. But realistically, they don’t even own these pieces. It’s more for show than anything else. But the great thing is that you can get their look without spending a fortune. Online merchants have virtually identical looking pieces in the form of CZ jewelry. So go ahead an indulge – it’s guilt free and fabulous.

CZ jewelry makes a great gift as well. If you have an upcoming birthday, anniversary or a special someone to buy for during the holidays, consider Cubic Zirconia jewelry as something that will really blow her mind. Today, there are so many great pieces available, the hardest thing is narrowing it down to just to the right one. But even if you go overboard, CZ jewelry is completely affordable to invest in. Remember, you can get the best value when you buy in bulk or in sets.

A better diamond!

Diamond has always been there as the most expensive and coveted gem. It is the superlative; it is the extent of perfection. It is the utmost desire of a woman; it is spec less and matchless. The spell is such that none has been able to save them from. It is beyond human efforts. Ages have passed and it is a synonym to the ultimate level of beauty, an unapproachable beauty!


Then humans are also known to have conquered everything- be it the world, nature or themselves. Hence, now this beauty is approachable. Not that it was out of human reach, but now what we have is better than diamond. What restricted us in the case of diamonds was its availability, it was natural occurring, and our efforts to make an imitational one produced cheap substitutes. Then we stuck gold with cubic zirconia. It came across as a substitute to diamond and not just as a substitute, but a worthy substitute. It has created a stir since the time it was developed and has its hold getting stronger day by day. The main area of benefit in its case was that we could produce it at our will and of any size, we wish. Apart from that, it is comparatively very cheap to diamond. The main reason why cubic zirconia is a better diamond because it has higher dispersion rate than diamond, hence it sparkles more than a diamond. Hence, if you place high quality cubic zirconia rings beside a diamond ring the cubic zirconia ring would definitely outshine the diamond one!

This has helped the designers produce new range jewelry, which is more varied, experimental in style and better in quality of appeal. They have come forward to produce designs, which were otherwise unthought-of with diamonds. This not only works good for us but them as well.
Hence now you can have that epitome of beauty adorn your back of the hand at just half the price.

Flashing Fashion

It’s dark and there are only dim street lights to brighten up the path in front of you. You came across a person that was about to cross paths with you, but your eyes would squint and your arms would try to block off the light. You are struggling from the strains on your eye and you wonder where the lights are coming from. You’ve started to realize the jewelry the other person possessed. That girl had some ostentatious jewelry. She had on Cubic Zirconia rings, CZ bracelets, necklaces, and clip on earrings. Jewelry can be so spectacular at times. The fashion of jewelry is stupendous.

The dim beams from the street lights are reflecting off of the immaculate jewelry. The reflection is so strong that it can make the other person strain their eyes. Jewelry can illustrate the refinement in a person. It shows someone personality; their individuality, their inner-self and independence. CZ rings can be very flashy when the female moves her hand around. Glimmering lights will shine in any alleyway by the reflection of her jewelry. The jewelry fashion is so important in modern days.

Fashion outfit is important when going out but fashion jewelry is just as important. The will sort out you from the rest of the people. Jewelry does not always have to be too expensive. For example Cubic Zirconia can get the job done. They will be able to shimmer lights and at the same time show off your fashion statement. Clip on earrings are not as good as earrings when it comes to showing off your fashion statement because it has a potential to fall off and that would be embarrassing.

CZ Jewelry VS Diamond

Women all love sparkle jewelry like diamond, but not all of us could afford to buy those stunning stones. So man made jewelry is kind of created for this. When going for sparkle in an economic downturn, cubic zirconia (CZ) might be chosen for a special gift--earrings, bracelets and rings--to a promise, engagement or wedding ring. It appears chic as well as it is quite affordable too.

So what is the difference between diamond and cubic zirconia? Why is cubic zirconia (CZ) quickly becoming more popular as a desirable substitute for diamond? Gemologists can agree that CZ comes closer than any other gem material to matching the characteristics of a diamond.

Weight. CZs are heavyweights in comparison to diamonds; a CZ will weigh approximately 1.75 times more than a diamond of equivalent size. So basically, a piece of CZ the same size as a one-carat diamond weighs about 1.75 carats.

Color. Though a CZ sparkle is colorful, the stone is always white. This is rare in diamonds. Colorless diamonds are extremely rare and more expensive. Diamonds will almost always have a yellow tint to them. Even nearly colorless diamonds--more expensive diamonds that are a little less rare--still have yellow in them. The more yellow, the lower the cost.

Others. Like size, cz jewelry has a large rank of size and is usually bigger than diamonds; and shape and cutting, cubic zirconia could be design in different shape which is so attractived.

Bold Necklaces Work for Fall

It might be hard to believe that fall is already here, especially in parts of the country where the temperatures are still as hot as summer. So you might have a hard time getting in the mindset of sweaters, boots and coats. However, you can start to amp up your inner fall fashionista with accessories that will go the distance. Bold statement necklaces have made their mark on the style scene but if you’ve been holding off on this trend, now’s a great time to pick one of these necklaces up.
statement necklaces
When you look at what’s coming down the runway and being shown splashed across the pages of major fashion magazines, there’s a lot of big bold necklaces. Some of these pieces might be a little over the top, but a lot of them can be translated to everyday wear. We love the use of bright color in deep hues like ruby red, cobalt blue and royal purple. Statement necklaces using these tones are great for adding a little life to darker colored fabrics in browns, grays and blacks. Look for necklaces with bubble gum size beads and stones. Set in yellow gold, these make a winning combination for fall.
statement necklaces
Besides colored necklaces, those that are pure metal are just as favorable. These pieces are versatile enough to go from day to night and will pair well with many selections from your wardrobe. Look for thick settings in yellow gold, rose gold or silver. You don’t have to get the real thing; necklaces that are silver or gold tone look the part and cost a lot less. For more variation, try necklaces that utilize brushed metal, a muted finish or special details like engraving. These small touches can add interest and personality to what might otherwise be a boring outfit.

How to Wear Cuff Bracelets for Fall

With cooler weather approaching, it’s time to start thinking about sweaters and tunics, blazers and boleros. And you might be wondering which bracelets to transition from summer to fall and which new pieces to pick up that will best compliment your current closet full of cold weather clothes.
Cuff Bracelets
If you already own a plain blouse in a solid color, use this as a foundation for adding gold cuff bracelets. You don’t have to go for solid 14K gold either. Instead, for more wallet friendly pieces, try gold plated or gold tone bracelets. These are perfect office-friendly accessories.

If you already own a 3/4 length sweater or a boyfriend jacket where the sleeves can be rolled, take the opportunity to sport a statement bracelet in a great design. Gold bracelets reign supreme for fall and you can’t go wrong with a classic cuff or bangle in a twisted rope design. Or, try a few thin bracelets that mix metals like sterling silver and yellow gold.
Cuff Bracelets
Although statement jewelry is in, cuff bracelets don’t always have to be over-the-top. Keep it in perspective and wear things that have small interesting details like braids, chain link or studs. These pieces are wearable to work or for play and won’t limit you to one season of wear.
Cuff Bracelets
The most important thing to remember when selecting your accessories is to wear pieces that you like. No matter what’s in or out or what the magazines are ranting and raving about, be conscious about what you are spending and how much wear you’re going to get out of it. Take a popular over-the-top trend and put your own spin on it. After all, fashion is about personal expression and individuality, so show off yours by wearing bracelets that you adore. You’ll look great and feel even better with this confidence.

Trend Watch: Girly Necklaces

This season, the fashion and jewelry is all out girly feminine looks that are flat out pretty as punch. We especially can’t get enough of those yummy necklaces that make it fun to dress up for a girls’ night out. Here, we take a look at some of the hottest styles of girly necklaces.

It’s true that pearls have long been a fashion staple, but this year, pearl necklaces have taken off in a big way. Sure, Michelle Obama has had something to do with this fashion resurgence, but pearl necklaces are all the rage lately. The trend for pearl necklaces is whimsical, fun and free-spirited, with designs ranging from gumball size stones to necklaces that are embellished with pearls, rhinestones and charms. With one of these lookers, you can keep the rest of your look simple and let your necklace shine.


Bow necklaces are also extremely in demand right now. Bow necklaces are reminiscent of childhood and are dainty and innocent in nature. Look for bow necklaces in the form of pendants for everyday wear, or statement choker necklaces adorned with fabric or crystals for a fun night-on-the-town look. Again, with necklaces that are busy, keep the rest of your outfit toned down and let the necklace take center stage.

Necklaces with pink stones are another hot ticket item. Celebs like Mariah Carey love pink diamonds, but if you can’t afford a multi-million dollar pendant, you can still imitate the look with a heart shaped Cubic Zirconia necklace.

Girly necklaces are fun to wear and offer a certain childhood fondness. These necklaces pair well with contrasting pieces like a black dress or a white tank top. It’s best to wear smaller necklaces to the office, and save the eclectic designs for after hours, weekends or vacation. It’s then that these necklaces will really help you shine.
