Selecting the Perfect Diamonique Engagement Or Wedding Ring

Sunday, September 19th, 2010

If you’re searching for a Diamonique engagement ring, the various lines of Diamonique wedding jewelry may initially be overwhelming, but there’s no need to be intimidated.  In fact, selecting a Diamonique engagement ring is profoundly easier than shopping for a diamond ring.   First of all, you don’t need to worry about grading, as all Diamonique stones are all perfectly clear.  Also, you always receive a certificate of authenticity from your Diamonique ring.  And, there’s never any question of provenance or the source of your gemstone.  The best thing, however, is that you don’t have to agonize over breaking your budget.  It’s nearly impossible to spend more than two hundred dollars on a Diamonique wedding ring. Here’s how to select the perfect Diamonique engagement ring for you.

Select a metal. Diamonique jewelry comes in 14k white and yellow gold, sterling silver and platinum.

Choose a setting. You may be interested in a traditional pear-shaped, marquis, round or any other shaped solitaire stone. Multi-stone settings are another option, and some Diamonique styles incorporate colored accent gemstones.  You’ll also see a selection of three stone settings, as well as solitaire and wedding band set.

Think about scale. A ring should correspond to the scale of the hand.  Certain shaped stones accentuate the hand and fingers in different ways.  In general, small hands work better with smaller rings, and larger hands can support larger-sized rings.

Pick your style. Are you looking for a vintage or modern look?  Diamonique wedding rings come with etching and openwork for a retro look, as well as clean, simple edges and curves.

Don’t forget comfort. Certain types of bands, particularly in the Diamonique lines, are designed for comfort.  When you’re considering a lifetime purchase such as a wedding or engagement ring, it’s important that it feels good on your hand.

Full Orbit Sterling Silver and CZ Eternity Band Ring

There is no better way to represent the eternal qualities of your love than with an eternity cz ring. Whether an engagement ring or wedding ring, an eternity cz ring is characterized by a pattern of cubic zirconia and other details that span the outer circumference of the ring, making it beautiful from every angle. One ring that works beautifully on its own is this alluring Full Orbit Sterling Silver and CZ Eternity Band Ring. This type of wedding band features thirty round and emerald-shaped cubic zirconia stones totaling 8.24 carats.

Stackable Pink and White CZ Eternity Band RingOn their own, cz eternity rings are an elegant, symbolic gesture. They are also paired with a contrasting plain band for a stacked effect, or with bands combining colored and clear cubic zirconia gemstones for even more sparkle. This
Stackable Pink and White CZ Eternity Band Ring
makes a wonderful compliment to a plain band or solitaire ring. This darling pink and white cz eternity band includes 7 pink and 7 white (clear) cubic zirconia gemstones for more than 15 total carats. Remember, it’s ok with mix metals and stones. If you want to wear an eternity band cz ring with a diamond solitaire, go for it!

Sterling Silver 7.6-Carat Chocolate CZ Pave Eternity Band Ring

For something a bit more unique, colored metals like rose gold and chocolate gold are becoming incredibly popular in all types of jewelry. We loved this Sterling Silver 7.6-Carat Chocolate CZ Pave Eternity Band Ring. The elegant pave set cubic zirconia stones go all the way around the band, which features black rhodium accents. It is a whopping 7.6 carats and is also available in other colors including rose gold.

Depending on the size and metal (sterling silver, gold, platinum) prices for an eternity cz band ring range from thirty and up to several hundred dollars.

An eternity cz band doesn’t only have to be for engagements or weddings.  Cubic zirconia bands are inexpensive enough to give and enjoy anytime.  Learn more about eternity rings.

QVC Diamonique Wedding Jewelry: Classic and Precious With CZ Beauty

Monday, February 1st, 2010

QVC Diamonique Wedding JewelryDiamonique wedding jewelry is designed for any momentous occasion. QVC Diamonique bracelets, earrings, and necklaces radiate and sparkle in precious 14k gold, platinum and sterling silver settings. Tacori and Epiphany Diamonique lines are probably most recognized for their wedding jewelry on QVC.  For maximum Diamonique “fire,” the 100 hand-cut facet collection contains brilliant cz gemstone jewelry with never before seen drama.

Given that most brides want to draw attention to themselves and their dress, Diamonique wedding jewelery trends toward simple elegance.

Many Diamonique earring styles, even in 14k gold settings, are priced below $50, and range in size from 1/2 carat to 4 carats. For a little more sparkle and movement, we also love the Diamonique 100-facet drop earrings.

The perfect wedding bracelet also has classic style, so the tennis bracelet is a natural choice.  While you may think of tennis bracelets as somewhat informal, several of the Diamonique tennis bracelets are actually quite dainty and elegant looking. To match the 100-facet earrings, you may go with the Epiphany platinum clad Diamonique 100-facet tennis bracelet. It’s available in several lengths (a big plus) and has beautifully designed clasps and safety catches. For something a bit more decorative, the Epiphany Diamonique 3-stone bracelet has an alternating pattern of round and bar-shaped stones.  Both bracelets are under $100 dollars.

Consider your wedding necklace purchase carefully within the context of the neckline of the dress.  In some instances, with a beautiful pair of earrings and bracelet, a cubic zirconia or Diamonique necklace may seem like overkill.  But with a simpler dress, we admire the Epiphany tennis necklace (again, beautifully coordinating with the other pieces). A station necklace style, such as the Diamonique 18″ double faceted rose cut necklace is a more delicate look.  Available in yellow or white gold, its gemstones weigh approximately 5.25 carats and won’t detract from the beautiful wedding dress.

The other advantage to QVC Diamonique wedding jewelry (and no I don’t get paid one cent by QVC or Diamonique to say this), Diamonique is extremely durable and offers excellent quality control.  You can be sure that the Diamonique pieces you wear for your wedding will last a lifetime.  Diamonique jewelry is exclusively available on QVC.

Ritani Endless Love Earrings, Diamonique Jewelry For QVC

As you probably know, Diamonique is a type of simulated diamond jewelry sold exclusively by QVC.  This week, they launched a new line by Ritani featuring their signature designs in sterling silver versions with Diamonique gemstones.  Styles within this line vary in terms of detailing, symbolism and types of settings, so there is something for everyone.  And did we mention they’re stunning? We think it’s great that Diamonique and QVC continue to bring gorgeous, reasonably priced jewelry to the public with such top shelf designers like Ritani.  The fact that these are not “real” diamonds does not detract from the fact that they are beautiful pieces in graceful and timeless designs.

Ritani fine jewelry is best known for their highly wearable diamond and gemstone engagement ring designs made in New York.  Although it’s only been around just over a decade, it has become one of the most highly visible and desired jewelry brands in the bridal category.  They are especially known for their craftsmanship and do all of their construction and metalwork in-house to ensure quality.  They use advanced technologies to develop perfectly precise designs.  Harout Ritani Aghjayan is the designer behind the company and is becoming known as one of the best jewelry designers in the United States.  And they do more than just bridal jewelry!

Current Ritani Diamonique offerings on QVC include rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces in sterling silver settings.  Almost all pieces are under 150 dollars and feature delicate hand-carving and Ritani’s signature architectural detail.  We particularly love the Sterling Romantique Hinged Bangle as well as the Ritani Endless Love earring and necklace combinations.  While some are definitely bridal wear, other jewelry pieces seems suited for any time or occasion.  They look like highly wearable pieces with classic designs that are going to become staples in your jewelry box.

Butterfly Rings In Cubic Zirconia and Sterling Silver Styles

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Cubic Zirconia Butterfly RingButterfly rings shimmer with personality and radiate style.  They symbolize rebirth and new beginnings, in addition to possessing delicate beauty.  Butterfly rings capture that moment when you’re able to observe a butterfly standing still in its natural state, but about to fly away at any time. They are a gorgeous adornment for the hand and have a ladylike, vintage quality.

The butterfly ring look works in both dressy and casual settings.  Butterflies are a popular wedding theme and butterfly jewelry makes a beautiful gift for bridesmaids.   Whether you already love butterflies and butterfly jewelry, admired it in recent runway fashion shows, or fell in love with Mariah Carey’s signature butterfly ring, a cubic zirconia butterfly ring is joyful, timeless and elegant.

Pave cubic zirconia detail on the wings gives the butterfly ring weight and substance, while the spacing of the wings adds lightness.  The butterfly body is comprised of three larger cubic zirconia gemstones.  Butterfly rings tend to be comfortable to wear.  Despite having a fairly large diameter on top of the hand, the band surrounding the finger is thin and comfortable.  We particularly like this Cubic Zirconia Butterfly Ring because of its layers of wings, the density of stones and its three-dimensionality.  We also like the rounded wing edges giving the ring a softer appearance.

Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Wedding Ring SetWe’re seeing sterling silver cubic zirconia wedding sets everywhere lately.  Oftentimes, the sterling silver is clad in 18k gold or platinum for a gorgeous finish.   You’ll find white cz and silver eternity bands, princess cut solitaire rings and stackable sets of two and three rings that look like a million dollars. We particularly like this Platinum-Over-Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Ring Duet.
If you’re having trouble deciding what cut of stone you like the best, this gorgeous duet features a princess cut stone in the solitaire and round and baguette shaped cubic zirconia in the band. A little of everything! This set has a real presence, featuring over 5 carats of serious sparkle.

Sterling Silver and Cubic Zirconia Eternity Band RingHere’s another option for a sterling silver cubic zirconia wedding ring.  This channel-set eternity band contains nineteen gleaming round white cubic zirconia stones.    The great thing about a channel setting, particularly in a wedding ring, is that is extremely comfortable to wear and is less likely to snag on things.   And, the stones are protected in the channel setting so that you don’t risk chipping.  We also love that the cz stones run the entire circumference of this ring in a never-ending loop.  Get more details on the Sterling Silver and Cubic Zirconia Eternity Band Ring.

Cubic Zirconia & Diamonique Wedding Ring Set Replica as Backup

This post and related comments from sunshinebride perfectly illustrate why someone who owns a diamond ring might purchase , a cubic zirconia ring to wear when traveling. or during potentially damaging activities.  Whether due to the fit or style of the ring, many women feel nervous wearing their diamond wedding rings in certain situations.   Overstock, QVC and HSN were suggested as reliable places to purchase a high quality cubic zirconia ring with a precious metal setting that isn’t nearly the cost of diamonds.

(Note: We have no experience with buying cubic zirconia from Overstock or HSN, but the Diamonique pieces we own from QVC are fabulous!)

Fall Cubic Zirconia Bridesmaid Jewelry Looks

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Fall wedding palettes tend to include warm tones such as oranges and golds that add a warm glow to a cool weather wedding.  You’ve probably heard that this fall season’s fashions are all about color.  Fortunately, cubic zirconia comes in nearly every color imaginable and can make for original and stunning bridesmaid jewelry.

“A big trend for fall jewelry is color. Rich and warm neutral colors like topaz, brandy, copper, garnet, and brown are very much in style. If you like a bolder shade, try a stunning garnet color for your bridesmaid jewelry. These colors will blend beautifully with the pretty colors that are in style for autumn bridesmaid dresses.”

CZ Bridal Hair Jewelry, Headbands, Sparkly Cubic Zirconia Pins, Accents

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Bridesmaid gifts might not be the first thing you think about when planning a wedding, but it’s important to acknowledge these  loved ones in your ceremony.  Many brides now give the wedding day jewelry as the bridesmaids’ gift.   You can outfit each bridesmaid in gorgeous coordinating jewelry that they can keep in remembrance of the special event.

One growing trend in bridesmaid jewelry is in hair.  CZ hair pins, combs, barrettes, headbands and of course, tiaras are very popular for both brides and bridesmaids.    You can offer the same pieces to each bridesmaid (perhaps coordinating with your own jewelry) or personalize each gift with color or design.   Hair jewelry may be selected taking into account the length of the bridesmaids’ hair.  One bridesmaid may be in a beautiful seed pearl and cubic zirconia studded headband.  Another may have a similarly- styled piece but in a hair pin.  The overall sparkling effect when your bridal party walks down the aisle is truly amazing.

Prices for cubic zirconia hair jewelry range from $25 to well into the hundreds, and may include precious metals and gemstones.  Once you select from the many options, cz hair jewelry will contribute to a beautifully coordinated wedding ceremony and be cherished by your bridal party for a lifetime.
