CZ Sterling Silver Jewelry Shopper

Charm bracelets never go out of style and there are so many reasons to love them.  First, we love the idea of building a personal collection of cz charms over time.  Marking special occasions with a new cubic zirconia charm to add to your bracelet creates a lasting memory.

A sweet, elegant charm bracelet gift that represents love is this   Cubic Zirconia Heart Charm Bracelet. It features 18k gold over sterling silver, gorgeous cubic zirconia detail, and five precious hearts.  Beautifully dainty.

Secondly, charm bracelets are totally unique.  From the moment you put it on, you are making it your own. No one will have the exact same set of charms you have, because your charm bracelet represents you and your own personal style. Gold, sterling silver, stainless steel or platinum, the sky’s the limit!  For a sturdier, everyday piece, this
Inori Stainless Steel Heart Charm Bracelet with Cubic Zirconia (CZ) has a whole lot of rock and roll to it. With its toggle clasp and round stainless steel links, this piece has presence and will get noticed.  At the same time, it has a lot of heart and sparkles and looks beautiful with or without additional charms.

Lastly, charm bracelets grow with you.  As you collect charms, and your interests evolve (and you run out of room to put new charms) you can swap in new ones or wear them on a necklace instead.

When you hear of Diamonique jewelry, you may automatically think of Diamonique wedding or engagement rings.  But you’ll also find a stunning selection of bracelets within the Diamonique line at QVC.  You’ll find bracelet styles in chain link, cuffs and bangles done in white gold, yellow gold, sterling silver and even stainless steel.  Also available are lovely two-tone designs, meaning that the piece will work perfectly with either gold or silver-colored jewelry.

One of the most striking Diamonique bracelet styles is the tennis bracelet.  You’ll find more traditional tennis braclets, as well as styles that incorporate additional metal detailing such as an ‘x’ design between each stone.  The
Diamonique tennis bracelet is one of the most lustrous styles and thus one of the most highly coveted.
Another type of Diamonique bracelet is the bangle.  Whether you want a simple metal bangle delicately accented with Diamonique cubic zirconia,
or you’re looking for a flashier, pave style, Diamonique bangle bracelets can come with a gorgeous hinge closure, or can simply fit over the hand naturally.  Some styles feature colored Diamonique stones such as simulated sapphires which adds a fashionable and expensive-looking touch.

Finally, Diamonique chain bracelets are extremely popular and are a cut above a traditional gold or sterling silver chain bracelet.  In Diamonique chain bracelets, individual ribbed and smooth chain links are ornamented in Diamonique stones.  Heavier rolo link bracelets have a weightier presence
and emphasize the luxurious chain links, while daintier styles really showcase the lustrous Diamonique gemstones.

As far as we’re concerned, vintage jewelry looks are always in style. Scouring flea markets, pawn shops, garage sales or your family members’ jewelry stash can yield some fabulous vintage cubic zirconia jewelry finds.

Right now, however, there’s a huge trend, not only in cubic zirconia jewelry, but in vintage or vintage-style cz pieces. The type of vintage jewelry we’re talking about is characterized by a lovely patina, elegant filigree mountings, classic floral designs, heirloom lace patterns and an unmistakable shimmer. Today’s “new” vintage cubic zirconia jewelry styles are often modeled after original vintage designs.

Here are a few examples of our favorite new vintage cz jewelry looks:

This Heavenly Lace CZ Filigree Bracelet has eye-catching scroll-like detail with 133 cubic zirconia stones. We love that it is a unique look that you won’t see everyone wearing. The gorgeous design spans the entire exterior of this bracelet, that can only be described as exquisite.

We also love this Fine Vintage Champagne CZ Ring with its beautiful champagne color cubic zirconia in the center. The center cz stone is encircled by 16 white cz accent gemstones. The petal-like border looks like something you’d find in your grandmother’s jewelry box.

Finally, check out this showstopping Luxe Lace Trio which includes a cz ring, bracelet and earrings. There are well over 200 cubic zirconia gemstones in this gorgeous set. It has a fancy, delicate look that is most striking for special occasions.  You can easily wear the pieces separately as well.

If the Bluefly blog Flypaper says it, then it must be true.  Flypaper, the official blog for designer shopping site Bluefly has some suggestions for taking a casual daytime piece and transforming it into elegant evening wear with just a few, inexpensive accessories including cubic zirconia.  And what would those accessories be?  One is a cubic zirconia pave resin bangle, aka “barfly bling,” that’s both chunky and elegant.

What timing!  After yesterday’s post about cubic zirconia beads for jewelry making, we received a catalogue in the mail from Fire Mountain Gems, one of the largest, friendliest and most well-regarded bead and gemstone companies we know.  This got us looking at the cubic zirconia beads currently available as inspiration for jewelry making, or if you prefer, jewelry buying.

Looking for some reasonably priced cubic zirconia options?  You can buy a flawless, brilliant cut colored cz pendant to wear on an existing chain for just a few dollars.  (And with bead shopping, the more you buy, the less each unit will cost!).  Another example would be cubic zirconia studs that come with a small loop on the bottom.  These are sold in packages of two. You can attach any type of charm or bead to the bottom of the cz stone, and you’ll have a fabulous pair of danging earrings.  For under fifteen dollars per bracelet, you can buy chains that feature faceted gemstones as part of its design.  Then, consider adding various beads and charms to the bracelet for an extra sparkly and fun holiday look.
