In Search Of the Perfect Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Jewelry

By Mike Cooke

If you are thinking of adding a sterling silver zirconia jewelry piece to you’re existing silver collection then you are most likely looking for something with a lot of flash and sparkle. Before you make that purchase, you have to closely examine several factors: like blending the new stone to your existing collection; the size of the cubic zirconia that will best fit you; the cut and shade of the gem; the style matching your personality and more importantly the cost. The following are ideas for you to consider when choosing sterling silver cubic zirconia jewelry.

The Shape
This is very important because the stone in your sterling silver zirconia jewelry is going to be the focus of attention when people look at it. The cut also determines the overall outlook of the sterling silver jewelry. Make sure the shape matches the design of the base. An elaborately designed filigreed gem won't be visually appealing with an evenly complex cut stone. For such designs you can have small round cut stone and have them placed strategically for a balanced look. On the other hand round cut stones will look boring if placed in a plain band ring. For such instances a more flamboyant cut like the rosette or the trapezoid will look great.

The Color
The next important consideration when choosing your sterling silver zirconia jewelry is the color of the gemstone. Everyone agrees, the white brilliance of the diamond is exceptional and it is just great that you can always have a replica in cubic zirconia with all the glimmer and glitter but none of the bank breaking cost. Cubic zirconia can also come in a variety of breathtaking colors, and in diverse shades too. It can be a clear blue like a baby’s eyes or as dark and deep as the tranquil ocean at night. It can also adopt varying colors of the spectrum with shades that span from the brightest to the darkest, since cubic zirconia is created in laboratories there will be no limit in the choice of colors available.

The Price
One of the distinct advantages of sterling silver cubic zirconia jewelry is its price. Comparing the white cubic zirconia with the diamond in terms of the cost the price difference could be an astounding 98%. The difference in price does not translate proportionately in the appearance department. The truth is you won't be able to tell the difference by just looking at it only an expert gemologist will be able to distinguish, and there are times they require viewing instruments to tell which is which. Of course, the price of cubic zirconia varies depending on the size, cut and color.
