When looking for another piece of high quality elegant jewelry to add to your collection, you should consider purchasing a piece of cubic zirconia jewelry.

There are other diamond imitations out there, like rhinestones or moissante. Moissante also looks very similar to diamonds but it is much harder to find and more expensive to be set in necklaces, rings and the like. Rhinestones are an incredibly affordable diamond imitation, but they are no comparison to the likeness of cubic zirconia to diamonds.

Cubic zirconia is a nice replacement for diamond jewelry.
Every piece of cubic zirconia jewelry is made up of cubic zirconia, a type of important and highly aesthetic mineral that is artificially manufactured or synthesized. It looks very similar to diamonds to the naked eye. Only experts who have years of experience working with diamonds can tell the difference between the two kinds of jewelry. Not only do cubic zirconias look like diamonds, but they are also much cheaper than diamonds. There is a significant price difference between the two.

Cubic zirconia jewelry is also great because it comes in all colors of the rainbow. You can find cubic zirconia earrings in shades of gold, pinks and blue. If these colors are too much for you can also get cubic zirconia jewelry in black and white, which is really popular currently. Having pieces of cubic zirconia jewelry in both of these colors and wearing them together really make a classic yet modern statement.

The best way to get a high quality piece of jewelry with a cubic zirconia setting is to get the stone placed in a high quality setting. Getting it placed in a gold, sterling silver, or white gold ring will ensure that your cubic zirconia jewelry is the best in quality and in price.

Many people look to cubic zirconia jewelry because this jewelry is so much more economically feasible than diamonds. With the scarcity of diamonds these days and the controversy surrounding the current diamond enterprise, makes cubic zirconia a much easier choice. There are many savvy jewelry buyers who are buying cubic zirconias in place of diamonds. Fashionistas, for instance, have no problem buying and wearing cubic ziconias, as long as they look high quality and accent the rest of their outfit.

Even celebrities, who could afford wearing diamonds, have been found to wear cubic zirconia jewelry. Grey's Anatomy starlet Kate Walsh wears a cubic zirconia engagement ring that was given to her by fiancé studio executive Alex Young. Pop superstar Jennifer Lopez has also been seen wearing a cubic zirconia necklace at an event.

You know that a piece of jewelry or clothing is in style and worth buying when you see it in a fashion magazine. The following magazines have all featured cubic zirconia jewelry on either their models, celebrities or both: Glamour, People, First, Brides, InStyle Weddings, Latina, 944 Magazine, Essence, Wedding Channel's Weddingbells Magazine, CosmoGirl, Ebony, Cosmopolitan, Shop Etc., Seventeen, Marie Claire, and Vogue (just to name a few of the many).
