CZ Cubic Zirconia Sterling Silver Jewelry

Talking About Cubic Zirconia CZ and Turquoise Jewelry, Earrings

sarita — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 16:48:35 +0000

Today we’re taking a look at the somewhat unusual combination of cz and turquoise. We love the way cubic zirconia, with its fire and sizzle looks in contrast to the bright, matte turquoise, creating a more casual look.

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.

These are just a few examples of the latest Ritani Diamonique Sterling Silver Rings from QVC. Any of these would make a lovely engagement ring. Each ring below weighs in over 2 carats, and are priced between $65 and $75 dollars. Obviously, they look a lot more expensive, with the high-polish sterling silver almost resembling platinum. Ritani has become known for intricate patterns and dazzling settings. The Diamonique gemstones are known for their fire and sparkle. Whether you are looking for a cushion cut, marquise shape, bead settings or open work designs, Ritani rings have a great reputation for quality. These particular styles have a truly feminine feel, and look beautiful worn as the only ring on one hand. Some have an antique quality, but you won’t feel nervous about wearing these economical beauties.

Elegant CZ Bracelet Watches For Fall With Cubic Zirconia Accents

sarita — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 18:19:16 +0000

While the chunky menswear styles are still alive and well in fashion this fall, it’s all about contrast. Pairing a boyfriend blazer with feminine pumps is one way this style is showing itself. On the flip side, we’ve seen delicate ruffled blouses with large men’s watches, giving an edge to an otherwise too-dainty look.

Another option in fashion jewelry contrast is pairing a men’s style oxford shirt with some ladylike jewelry pieces. That’s what brings us to our latest passion, these elegant, feminine cubic zirconia bracelet watches that offer a bit of color, sparkle and movement – just the right accent to this season’s more tailored styles. These cz accented watches are anything but sporty. What they do is pair beautifully with other bracelets for a layered and sophisticated look. These elegant and modern watches are sure to adapt beautifully when other trends run their course. If it’s a classic cubic zirconia or diamond tennis bracelet you’re dreaming of, there’s even a tennis bracelet style watch that not only looks gorgeous but also tells the time. There are also gorgeous cz bracelet watches with amethyst, emerald or other colored gemstones that turn an ordinary watch into a high-end, glamorous accessory. The best part? We couldn’t find any that cost more than $75!

Here are some favorites from the always-classy Holsted Jewelers:

Diamonique Jewelry: An Overview

sarita — Sun, 23 May 2010 12:57:05 +0000

Diamonique jewelry is carried exclusively by QVC and QVCUK and is known for its affordability, flawlessness, brilliance, elegant proportions and an enormous selection of styles. If you’re new to Diamonique jewelry, there are a lot of options, so here’s an idea of what you have to look forward to.

There are more than a dozen brands within Diamonique jewelry. They range from adorable Disney pieces that are sweet and sophisticated to Judith Ripka pieces in sterling silver, pearls and gemstones that are also distinctive and timeless. Other Diamonique brands are recognizable for their long history in the bridal category such as Tacori and Ritani. These brands bring the same modernity and glamour of their couture collections to the fine Diamonique jewelry lines.

The latest Diamonique jewelry trends combine colorful gemstones with the clear, radiance of Diamonique gemstones. You’ll find the popular buckle motif in rings and bracelets, perhaps echoing European equestrian classics from brands like Gucci. Flowers as pendants or rings are also popular in Diamonique jewelry. Finally, you’ll find easy-to-wear hingled bangle bracelets, the return of cultured pearls, and brilliant stacked ring sets featuring beaded, prong, and pave design Diamonique settings.

Diamonique jewelry is indistinguishable from diamond jewelry pieces because of its clarity, settings, substance and use of precious metals like sterling silver and 18k gold.

QVC Diamonique Wedding Jewelry: Classic and Precious With CZ Beauty

sarita — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:09:31 +0000

Diamonique 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, Romantique On QVC Diamonique Jewelry: Gorgeous Simulated Jewelry

sarita — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:22:24 +0000

As you probably know, Diamonique is a type of simulated diamond jewelry sold exclusively by QVC. This week, QVC launched a new Diamonique line by Ritani featuring their signature designs (Romantique, Ritani Endless Love) in sterling silver versions with Diamonique gemstones. And 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 designs like Ritani.

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.

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 Ritani Diamonique Sterling Romantique Hinged Bangle as well as the Ritani Endless Love earring and necklace combinations. While some are definitely bridal wear, other Ritani jewelry pieces seems suited for any time or occasion.

Cubic Zirconia CZ Vintage Key Motif With Sterling Silver

sarita — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 17:28:01 +0000

The vintage key motif is one of the biggest trends in jewelry today. From Tiffany to Target, you’ll find diamond or cubic zirconia studded key pendant necklaces and earrings. Many are comprised of only sterling silver, but we think the gemstone keys featuring pave cubic zirconia or other gemstones have a special sparkle.

The key motif can symbolize many things and makes a lovely gift. It could represent holding the key to someone’s heart, or an opening of your heart to someone. (There’s a Madonna song in there somewhere, forgive me). Key jewelry may also indicate trust, or the keeping of a secret. Particularly in the more vintage looking designs, it can have a nostalgic sentiment. Like hearts, crosses, butterflies and circles, the vintage key design is versatile and timeless.

For an adorable take on the vintage key jewelry trend, we love these Sterling Silver and Cubic Zirconia Key Drop Earrings.

Cubic Zirconia Charm Bracelets Combine CZ Beauty and Meaning

sarita — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 01:51:57 +0000

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 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.

Cubic Zirconia Snowflake Stud Earrings, Pendant, Pin, Necklace

sarita — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:08:00 +0000

We love snowflake design cubic zirconia jewelry like these stud earrings and necklace/pin combination. The snowflake motif reminds us of cutting out paper snowflakes in grade school, and our boundless excitement for Christmas winter vacation.

A holiday jewelry must, these elegant sterling silver Cubic Zirconia Snowflake Earrings have hypoallergenic posts, and 2 carats of hand cut cubic zirconia stones. Their perfect, delicate shape sparkles, while the snowflake’s symmetry gives each piece a calm, balanced feel. They coordinate beautifully with a Cubic Zirconia Snowflake Pin/Pendant necklace that comes suspended on an 18-inch rope chain.

Best of all, they’re guaranteed to never melt!

Butterfly Rings In Cubic Zirconia and Sterling Silver Styles

sarita — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:56:17 +0000

Butterfly 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.
