Cubic zirconia rings today are beautiful and brilliant and fun and often great alternatives to diamonds. There are high quality rings to choose from (AAAAA CZ Rings) and many beautiful designs. It can be difficult if not impossible to tell the difference at a glance and that is why they are so popular.

It's Her Choice not yours!

If you, AS A COUPLE, have decided to buy a set of cubic zirconia engagement rings or wedding rings to be able to afford other wedding niceties, or you simply want to treat yourself to a little sparkle, or you need a spur of the moment present, or you just love to be covered in baubles, go ahead and buy, buy, buy cubic zirconia rings, earrings and have fun! But...

... if you are a guy about to ask the love of your life to marry you and you have not discussed the ring topic with the lady you hope will say YES, do not buy a cubic zirconia ring and think she will not know the difference.

It's not about the shine or the style or the setting. She will know very quickly for two reasons:

1. She probably knows your budget and will suspect it's not possible that you sold your old skateboard and video game collection to buy her a 3 carat diamond!

2. If the wedding is yet a few months down the road and she will be wearing it everyday, it will get dull and she will wonder where the sparkle went out of relationship.

If you want to give her a cubic zirconia engagement ring tells her it's a cubic zirconia and if she's the right girl she will say yes. Perhaps on an anniversary down the road you can exchange it for a real diamond, but don't try to pawn off a fake for the real thing. It doesn't matter if the whole world remains in ignorant bliss about the engagement ring fakeness, but your lady MUST know and be in agreement.
