Sterling Silver Rings Cubic Zirconia Engagement Style

Engagement style Sterling Silver Rings set with clear brilliant CZ provide an attractive alternative to expensive diamond rings. These sterling silver rings are highly polished and appear to be platinum settings. Rhodium is a brilliant white highly reflective metal in the same group of metals as gold, and platinum. Similar silver rings are being sold by the TV shopping channels for about $30.00 to $50.00 plus shipping charges.
The combination of both prong and channel setting are today's current fashion trend. These sterling silver rings feature delicate hand finished mountings. Each Cubic Zirconia, CZ, is individually hand set,just as a diamond would be set in a mounting.

Although Cubic Zirconia has a diamond like appearance it is not formed from carbon. A real diamond is naturally formed from carbon. The effects of high temperature, pressure and lack of oxygen turn a potential lump of coal into a crystalline stone. Cubic Zirconia is made of Zirconium Oxide. The jewel has the appearance of diamond, but lacks the identical optical properties. The two basic reasons are cubic zirconia reflects and refracts light in a similar, but different pattern. Cubic zirconia is about the same hardness as ruby or garnet, but is much "softer" than a diamond. When the facets are cut the edges will not hold the sharp true angels and cuts which are normal for diamonds. The edges of the facets tend to be slightly "rounded" as compared to the "knife like" edges of a diamond's facets.
Cubic zirconia's attraction is it's price compared to diamond. As the crystals from which cubic zirconia jewels are cut can be mass produced the price per carat weight is relatively low. The finished jewels are quite attractive and affordable.
