Cubic Zirconia is one of the best diamond alternatives for a myriad of reasons. Here are the main reasons why:
Affordable
One of the main reasons why couples choose to buy a CZ engagement ring is because the attributes are very similar to a diamond, but at a fraction of the price.
Originally a diamond’s value was set by its beauty, the way the light refracted into wondrous colors. Now many diamond alternatives such as CZs refract the light with even more dispersion!
Conflict Free
Cubic Zirconia is a synthetic crystal manufactured in a laboratory.
Unlike a natural diamond, it is not mined. Therefore you don’t have to worry about it being a “conflict stone” mined in war-torn countries using slave-like labor (common in the diamond trade).
Your ring will only represent the beautiful love and commitment between you and your fiancé, as it will have no negative history attached to it.
Colorless and With no Inclusions
To the untrained eye, it is extremely difficult to distinguish the two as they both appear identical.
Only the rarest of diamonds are truly colorless, while cubic zirconia is made to be completely transparent. The CZ stones are free of inclusions and produce more flashes of color (brighter fire).
Hardness
Natural gemstones have inclusions or blemishes on them. High-quality Cubic Zirconia is guaranteed to be flawless with zero inclusions.
Cubic Zirconia has a hardness rating of 8.5 on the Mohs scale, (of a total of 10). Making it durable and very resistant to scratches.
Your Dream Ring
With a CZ ring, you don't have to restrict yourself to dainty rings. Brides can go for bigger stones without the hefty price tag.
Perfect for Travel
Because of its amazing price, you can enjoy your travels without the overwhelming worry of loss or theft.
Multiple Rings
In our lifetime our weight will fluctuate for a myriad of reasons, a great example is pregnancy.
You can add a second CZ ring so you can keep wearing the token of your love and commitment during those times.
If you work with your hands, you can have a smaller ring that doesn't get in the way, and a big one to wear socially.
The possibilities are endless!
