CZ Cubic Zirconia Sterling Silver Jewelry

Human Rights Watch has raised allegations in Zimbabwe, the source of many diamonds, state that Zimbabwean police and army have forced children and adults to mine diamonds and tortured local villagers to control access.   They are also accused of massacres in these diamond regions.  The government in Zimbabwe denies involvement in conflict diamonds , despite widespread accounts of violence.

If you don’t want to support these terrible practices, consider cubic zirconia jewelry.  CZ is a lovely sparkling stone that comes in every color and shape imaginable.   You’ll get all of the beauty and savings, and a guilt-free conscience.

Cubic zirconia jewelry offers countless ways to accessorize with color.  In virtually any style and setting you’ll find wonderful color combinations in both cz stones themselves, and in their pairing with other gemstones.    Whether your tastes run toward bold, modern fashion or timeless classics, there are color cubic zirconia pieces that fit your style.

The most popular colors of cz stones today are pink, champagne and light green and are available in any cut imaginable.  Blue is also always popular.  CZ stones have beautiful sparkle and clarity that rival diamonds. There are modern settings in sterling silver or platinum for a simple pair of pink cz stud earrings.  Or you may opt for a champagne colored ring in a gold setting, with small clear cubic zirconia stones giving it an antique feel.  Colored cz accentuates the jewelry piece itself and is the perfect finishing touch for casual and dressy occasions.
