Cubic Zirconia engagement rings are the best way to get an impressive and expensive looking engagement ring for a fraction of the cost of diamonds. Many couples will opt for zirconia rings to save money. Cubic Zirconia engagement rings also allow the couple to select an elaborate setting and then over time replace the cubic zirconia with actual diamonds.
Choosing a Cubic Zirconia Engagement Ring
Selecting cz rings is similar to picking out a wedding set made of diamonds. Cubic Zirconia stones look like real diamonds because they are real diamonds. The only difference is that they are made under controlled man-made conditions instead of found in naturally occurring diamond mines. This makes them look great, but cost much less.
Because cubic zirconia stones are made like diamonds, they can be cut into all of the shapes diamonds are cut into. This includes princess cut stones, round, oval, marquis and emerald cuts. They also come in varying qualities so some cubic zirconia stones are more expensive than others. You can focus your resources on a more expensive centre stone and even have money left over for a matching necklace.
Cubic Zirconia Promise Rings
Promise rings symbolize a lesser commitment that an engagement. For this reason, cubic zirconia promise rings may make more sense than a diamond promise ring. When it comes time to take the commitment and relationship to the next level – engagement – then you can look for diamond engagement sets.
Promise rings in general should not cost as much as the engagement ring, no matter what your price range is. It isn’t even necessary to have diamonds or cubic zirconias in a promise ring. It can simply be made of gold or have other gem stones in it. Promise rings are usually given between a couple too young or not ready for the commitment of marriage. This means there probably isn’t as much money available to spend on the ring either.
Unless friends and family will be taking a jeweller’s loupe to your engagement ring, it just might make sense to spend more money on a first home together and let your rings cost less with cubic zirconia engagement rings.
