CZ pairs with silver or gold in concert with turquoise, but the silver tends to be the most common, and as far as precious metals go, the most affordable.

While we’re obviously huge cz and Diamonique fans by themselves, we love the bold colors, and the way the turquoise varies from one stone to the next, making each piece totally unique!

You’ll also find that the turquoise and cz combination is more economical than pairing cubic zirconia with other materials like pearls, or other gemstones.

The biggest bang for your buck when pairing turquoise and cubic zirconia, comes with the purchase of a set, where you may find coordinating earrings and pendant or ring.  The turquoise pieces themselves don’t have to be too big in order to make a statement.

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 bracelet shown here 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.

One of the most striking Diamonique bracelet styles is the tennis bracelet.  You’ll find more traditional ones, as well as those that incorporate additional metal detailing like an ‘x’ design between each stone.  The Diamonique tennis bracelet is one of the most lustrous looks 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 cubic zirconia, or you’re looking for a flashier, pave style, these bracelets can come with a gorgeous hinge closure, or simply fit over the hand naturally.  QVC offers thinner, more refined bracelets as well as “statement” pieces that are at least an inch in width.  Some styles feature colored Diamonique stones such as simulated cz sapphires which add a fashionable and expensive-looking touch.

Also, Diamonique chain bracelets are extremely popular and a cut above a traditional gold or sterling silver.  You’ll find individual ribbed and smooth links that are delicately ornamented with bling.  Heavier rolo link bracelets have a weightier presence and emphasize the luxurious chain links, while daintier styles really showcase the lustrous gemstones.

Finally, look for Diamonique watches that double as jewelry.  Many watches today have adopted jewelry motifs, and are more like bracelets that happen to tell time.  Beautiful and practical!  Both the watch face and the cuff can be richly accented with gemstones.

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.

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.
