Unusual cubic zirconia rings include the beautiful purple blue tanzanite rings that make great cocktail jewelry and can be genuine with CZ accents or totally simulated creations that are very affordable. While genuine blue tanzanite rings can cost $500 to well over $1,000, a CZ tanzanite simulation that looks very real can be had for as little as $20 for a simple eternity band or about $50 to $70 for a full elegant cocktail ring.

When choosing cocktail pieces the most unusual cubic zirconia colors are available to mimic yellow and pink diamonds, black and brown diamonds, garnets and sapphires and rubies and even emeralds. CZs are so versatile and affordable that many ladies are choosing to have several rings to match with evening outfits instead of limiting themselves to one single gold ring that they wear over and over. But, no matter how beautiful an usual cubic zirconia jewelry may be, it’s still a fake and therefore can’t be worn everyday, not just because the gem will get dull, but because the settings may not be gold, but silver or an inferior metal that has been plated or coated to look better. If you want your faux green emeralds and rich simulated rubies and sparkling blue tanzanite rings to be the best they can be, choose the highest quality mounting you can afford. The gems can be replaced if you have a good setting.

Where to Shop For High Quality Unusual Cubic Zirconia Jewelry that Will Last

You’ll find the best deals online at places like Emitations, HSN, Amazon and even Angara where you get real blue tanzanite rings for under $200 set in gold. You can also have a custom version designed at Jewels For Me, and select a variety of faux gemstones or real ones and set them in gold. For the top faux designs in silver you will want to stick with HSN and Heavenly Treasures and Emitations and try to buy only sterling silver. Prices start at $30 to about $70. Try Ross Simons for high quality unusual cubic zirconia cocktail rings that are really a notch above. Classy estate pieces are also available, but these are less affordable.
