If you’re searching for a unique engagement ring or even a fashion ring and you think you know your gemstones, perhaps there’s a couple little affordable gems you’ve overlooked – tanzanite and cubic zirconia. Why do we mention them together? Because CZs are the rival of diamonds, offering a way for you to design your zirconia ring without expensive genuine diamonds. And tanzanite, being such a rare blue-purple gem, which is very expensive due to its scarcity, is available in a colored CZ that is the gorgeous rich tone of tanzanite. These two gems can be set together in beautiful designs, the rich blue tanzanite cubic zirconia in the center and smaller clear CZ stones as accents. The contrast is stunning and replicates some of regal gemstone designs of the stars and royalty.
Why Design Your Zirconia Ring?
If you can’t find the exact style you want already made, it’s quite easy to design your zirconia ring online with the help of jewelers who have created programs that allow you to select the mountings in silver, white gold or yellow gold and then choose your stones. Although most of these websites cater to those who want to build their own ring using diamonds, there are a few places where you can select faux stones as well, including such faux gems as tanzanite and cubic zirconia.
Design a Custom Tanzanite and Cubic Zirconia Class or Graduation Ring
Aside from engagement rings and wedding bands, many people are using tanzanite and cubic zirconia for their class rings, which can be customized online as well. You can design your zirconia ring for your graduation at places like Ring Designs Online, who specialize in class and graduation rings. Get a beautiful tanzanite stone set in the middle and add some accents with cubic zirconia and select the metal you want and the school or university emblem or crest and the date….It’s a 5 step process and you’re done!
