There are three things that are certain about this coming year – one is that individual expression in fashion and jewelry choices are here to stay, the second is that colorful gems, especial blue tones, are extremely fashionable, and the third is that budgets continue to be tight. Many couples who want a unique engagement ring in less traditional styles are opting for affordable alternatives that allow personal expression without the high price. This need is being satisfied by the designers and manufacturers who offer affordable white gold cubic zirconia engagement rings in unique styles, some with colored CZ gemstones that mimic tanzanite.
Genuine AAA tanzanite rings come only from Tanzania and are prohibitively expensive. Imitation CZ and tanzanite creations on the other hand may not be AAA tanzanite rings with genuine stones all the way from Africa, but they are so well made they look real. When clear CZs are mixed with the blue CZ tanzanite stones, the effect is stunning, and when set in white gold, the cubic zirconia, which naturally rival diamonds, can appear larger and more pronounced because the white metal enhances the clear or white gems to give the optical illusion that there is more sparkle. This is especially true when small CZs are pave set along the shank or down the sides of the band, accenting the tanzanite in the center. The price of white gold cubic zirconia engagement rings is naturally the main benefit, since many of the designs are just $200 to $300, and for really elaborate creations about $500, which is a fraction of what similar genuine diamond rings, set in white gold, would cost.
Whether a couple chooses to buy genuine AAA tanzanite rings for their engagement or select clear white gold cubic zirconia engagement rings, they will be able to stretch their budget and have sparkle, color and individual expression that fits within their budget.
