Cubic Zirconia vs A Diamond Engagement Ring

Hey ladies, I have a question and I don't want ya'll to think my head is bad but....My fiance has not purchased my ring as yet and to be honest with you I am glad. You see, I saw this most amazing ring but it is a CUBIC ZIRCONIA, I love it so much....I've not seen a diamond that I like as much. My question to you is this, do you think it's ok to chose a CZ over a diamond. (Remember I really love the CZ , I wish I could post a picture, but I do not know how to)

Re: Cubic Zirconia vs A Diamond Engagement Ring

If the CZ is what you like, and it makes you happy -- go for it. Is there a rule that indicates that your ring has to be a diamond?

Blessed be the Lord my strength ......

Re: Cubic Zirconia vs A Diamond Engagement Ring

I agree. If the CZ is what you want the most go for it. Nowadays they are making them to look just as good as the real thing and some even better. And no one should be that close to your hand to even second guess if it is real or not.

CharlotteModebe it could be a piece of string tied around your finger, the true worth is in the what it means to you. Go with what you love.

Re: Cubic Zirconia vs A Diamond Engagement Ring

I like it too. I often suggest CZ Jewelry on this site. You get the look of diamonds and you could put the savings on a downpayment on a trip, car or house.

Re: Cubic Zirconia vs A Diamond Engagement Ring

Thanks Ladies you are all right. Listen Phenomonique you said it could be a piece of string, but it is the true worth, that means so much to me. You know we sometimes get caught up in what society may say or heaven's forbid what they may think...to be honest, I am sick of it. I saw this ring and instantly feel in love with it-- Rosetta, I appreciate the fact that you put the link here...you are amazing, I do not know how you knew what site the ring was on but good looking out. Do me a favor please, the ring number is 7718R--It is a white gold 1.5ct radiant cut center ring. I adore this ring and I especially love the unusual shape. Please post the picture so the other ladies may enjoy it. Thank you all so much...I feel so free with my decision to want this ring. Thank you all for your help. Now I am going to tell my FH what I really want and I know he will be so grateful because his wife-to-be is so considerate of his pocket......Only if he knew I was encouraged and given a little boost in the right direction from my girlfriends on Vibride....[wink wink]

Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

QVC has great diamonique jewels - very cheap w/ the look of a real diamond and platinum clad w/ a lifetime warranty against tarnish. I fool everyone w/ mine!! :)

That ring is beautiful! No one should be in your business anyway and they won't be able to tell the difference.

Re: Cubic Zirconia vs A Diamond Engagement Ring

When buying cz consider that it should be a precious metal setting. Solid gold or platinum is preferable. Overlays can fray in time. Shop at a reputable jeweler.

Here is CharlotteModebe's ring:

A tip: Buy 2 carats or less. More than 2 carats is a really HUGE stone.

Re: Cubic Zirconia vs A Diamond Engagement Ring

Ladies I know we have a choice when it comes to our wedding rings because we go shopping for them with our FH's, but what about an engagement ring? Some of you may already know that I had planned to propose to FH on Fathers Day, I was recently looking for rings and I found some really nices ones for a really great price (see proposal post)I'm talking maybe $50 at the most with shipping on ebay but they are sterling silver nad simulated diamonds. Should I still get one of those for him of just go to a jewelry store or get a white gold and real diamonds. He got me a white gold ring with about 25 diamonds on it and I love it. I think he would love the ring I pick for him but I dont wanna seem cheap.......Help please
