If a diamond is a girls' best friend, then cubic zirconia is the fun, easygoing, lively friend that is up for anything. Though they look and shine like diamonds, cubic zirconia is actually a diamond simulant. This means that it's really a mineral called  zirconium oxide that is synthesized to look like a diamond. Cubic zirconia is a very popular and cheaper alternative to diamonds.

Cubic zirconia can be found at nearly every retailer that sells jewelry, save the high end jewelry stores. Emitations specializes in celebrity inspired jewelry, and their cubic zirconia jewelry can be had for thousands of dollars less than the real versions. Emitations has Oscar jewelry , prom, bridal, and special occasion jewelry as well as everyday styles. These jewelry styles can range in price, but are very affordable. For example, the entire jewelry ensemble, earrings and two bracelets, that Gwenyth Paltrow wore to the 2007 Oscars is available in cubic zirconia version for less than $100 at Emitations.

Cubic zirconia rings are popular in comparison to real diamonds because of their price point. The rings are usually colorless, and can come in an array of cuts and colors – just as many as real diamonds. Almost Diamonds has an extensive selection of rings in wedding sets, engagement, three stone, eternity, and fashion styles. A one and a half carat ring can cost around $3,000 for a real diamond, about $25 for the cubic zirconia version.

Stud, chandelier, hoop,  and dangle are styles of cubic zirconia earrings. Spending thousands of dollars on a pair of earrings as opposed to less than $50 is a no brainer – the less money spent, the more jewelry a person can get. Always appropriate, stylish, and fairly priced, these earrings enable everyone to look like a million dollars, no matter how little they spent. Almost Diamonds, Overstock Jeweler, and Emitations all have a wide range of earrings.

A beautiful dress or outfit begs for a necklace to complete the look. Many times, the outfit is thought of first, leaving little funds left to dress up the uncovered parts of the body. Cubic zirconia necklaces are perfect for wedding, prom, or special occasions. Available in many styles, the necklaces can be incorporated into any ensemble easily. There are many fine jewelry designers and necklaces imitated by cubic zirconia. Tiffany & Co, the most popular jewelry designer, has cubic zirconia inspired necklaces available in the bubble, swing circle, and nature rose designs at Overstock Jeweler. Necklaces will range in price depending on how many cubic zirconias comprise the piece. An art-deco inspired necklace, which included a two carat cubic zirconia, is less than $200 at Emitations.

Cubic zirconia jewelry brings beauty and popular designs to everyone, rather than saving the luxury for the wealthy. No one will know the difference between a diamond and a cubic zirconia, but the bank account certainly will.
