CZ Sterling Silver Jewelry Shopper

Another cz post for the fellows out there!

Male celebrity hip hop artists have some of the finest men’s jewelry in the world.  Some wear diamonds, but others choose cubic zirconia for their styles.  One signature hip hop men’s jewelry trend is pave stone designs rendered in stunning cubic zirconia.

Pave settings are one of the most common in both men’s and women’s jewelry.  Pave is a group of small stones (often cubic zirconia) encrusted on a metal surface, giving the illusion of free-standing diamonds.  The pave setting is so brilliant and eye-catching, there is no need for larger single stones.

In a hip hop pave jewelry piece, entire shapes, whether on a pendant, ring, or earrings, are encrusted in cubic zirconia stones. This makes for a shiny, reflective, jeweled surface that makes a statement. You’ll find both silver and gold designs portraying snakes, panthers, dollar signs, microphones and religious iconography, all coated in tiny handset cubic zirconia. In these pieces, it’s the cubic zirconia, rather than the metal that commands attention.  Serious bling factor.

Whether you’re an aspiring hip hop artist or a blushing bride, check out cz pave setting jewelry for a big, yet classic, statement.

We try to cover men’s cubic zirconia jewelry, but there’s just so much to say about women’s cz jewelry, we don’t always get a chance.  However, we stumbled across this fabulous post laying out 5 cubic zirconia ring styles for men.  Some of the settings are similar to women’s styles, like bands, solitaires and channel settings.  You’ll even find male-friendly imagery and patterns.

Here’s an excerpt:

“Men’s CZ Rings With Alternating Stones. This style, which showcases cubic zirconia strategically placed along the band, is one that is similar to a woman’s eternity band only with fewer stones. In a gentleman’s ring, alternating cubic zirconia are typically set down into the band using a channel set or bezel set design. This allows for comfort and protects the stones during everyday wear.”
