CZ Cubic Zirconia Sterling Silver Jewelry

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.

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 a few favorites from the always-classy Holsted Jewelers:

Sterling Silver Tennis Bracelet Watch Add a little glamour and a lot of sparkle to everyday outfits. You get the look of a diamond tennis bracelet with round and square cubic zirconia… the quartz-movement watch provides a reason to wear this spectacular piece of jewelry ’round the clock. Sterling silver bracelet-style band stays on securely thanks to a box-and-tongue clasp. Buy the set and save!

Sensational Cubic Zirconia Watch There’s no mistaking sophistication. You just know it when you see it. This simple and sumptuous 7 ½” sterling silver and cubic zirconia watch is as sophisticated as they come, with a quartz movement and a safety clasp. Buy the set and save!

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.

Cubic zirconia heart shape jewelry has been especially popular for the last year or so, and you’ll find a great selection if you’re looking for a special Diamonique or cubic zirconia set this Valentine’s day. You’ll find plenty of pave detailing such as in the Esposito Diamonique Heart CZ Earrings available at QVC.   This sweet pair of cz drop earrings, priced at under $35  is made with sterling silver and are a lever back style.  Also popular are charm bracelets with a substantial heart charm encrusted in Diamonique gemstone detail.  Giving an earrings and bracelet or pendant necklace set is always a treasured Valentine’s Day gift.  If you are ready to go over the top, check out the Diamonique heart shaped wedding rings.  They are stunning and will be a unique surprise.

If you didn’t already know, we love a heart jewelry set (hint, hint) – even if we don’t always wear the pieces together. Another great heart-shaped cubic zirconia jewelry option is this dazzling sterling silver open pendant necklace trimmed with sparkling stones. It comes on an exquisite 18″ sterling silver chain. And THEN, you also get adorable cz diamonique stud earrings. These are a striking pair to match the gemstone inside the heart.  The whole package is a steal at $27.99. Visit Massini Sterling Silver CZ Ice Open Heart Pendant w/Earrings for more details.

Another cubic zirconia jewelry set that will really impress is this Multicolored Heart Cluster Earrings and Pendant Set. Colored synthetic gemstones, particularly in clusters like this, continue to be incredibly popular and have a vintage feel. The heart cz earrings and coordinating pendant necklace feature canary, champagne and green colored stones for a fresh, highly wearable look for spring. The pieces in the collection can be purchased individually, but when you buy both, you save ten dollars.   Quite a deal!

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.

On 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
