How to Choose Cubic Zirconia Jewelry

There are many styles of cubic zirconia jewelry to choose from, and selecting the perfect piece to enhance an ensemble may seem overwhelming, but with a little knowledge about these accessories, anyone can look stylish and sophisticated no matter what the occasion.

Cubic zirconia

Jewelry featuring cubic zirconia is easy to wear with anything.

Consider the Setting

The first thing to look for in picking cubic zirconia jewelry is the metal that it is set in. Less expensive pieces may be set in plated metals.

While this jewelry is wonderful for those following a budget who want inexpensive jewelry, the metals may chip or rust over time.

The nickel content in plated pieces may also react with the skin, leaving behind marks where it was worn.

Many cubic zirconia pieces are set in real metals, including sterling silver or even real gold.

Stainless steel is also a great choice that will not tarnish or cause an allergic reaction to those sensitive to certain types of metal.

The price of these pieces may be higher, but it is worth it if the jewelry is going to be worn multiple times and used for many years.

Look at the Design

Cubic zirconia jewelry also comes in many different styles for giving different looks to certain outfits.

Classic pieces like solitaire stud earrings or a dainty cubic zirconia ring are perfect for everyday wear and coordinate with even the most casual clothing.

More extravagant pieces, such as chandelier earrings, statement necklaces, or chunky rings give off lots of sparkle and really stand out, making them perfect for more formal occasions such as balls, proms, or even weddings.

What About Colors?

Cubic zirconia jewelry comes in a variety of colors.

Although clear is a popular choice that replicates the look of more expensive diamonds, brightly colored stones may be used to enhance the style of the jewelry.

Shades of blues, greens, reds, or pinks may be scattered throughout jewelry with multiple stones or may be set in a solitaire setting to show off the brilliant colors.

Colored cubic zirconia is a great way to add a pop of color to any outfit, especially clothing that is neutral colored.

A woman can also coordinate a main color in her ensemble with colored cubic zirconia for a fun and trendy look.

Jewelry featuring cubic zirconia is easy to wear with anything. Because it is much more inexpensive than natural gemstones, it is possible for a woman to fill her jewelry box with plenty of pieces to add spice to any outfit.

Having multiple pieces of high quality cubic zirconia can help amp up any woman’s style with color and sparkle at an affordable price.
