Some classic jewelry styles will never go out of style because of their rich history. Chandelier earrings are one of the classic jewelry pieces still commonly found in modern times.
Chandelier earrings are typically long and dangling earrings consisting of multiple tiers of suspended gemstones and beads. These earrings originated from the Middle East, India, and Greece. According to this article, unearthed examples of gold filigree chandelier earrings from Turkey date back to the third century B.C.

After the age of British colonialism, chandelier earrings became popular in the West. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Western-made jewelry used gemstones imported from the East, so Eastern earring styles like chandeliers became the trend.
Definitely! Chandelier earrings are still in style after all this time. Nowadays, chandelier earrings can have a contemporary look based on the interests and preferences of people in today’s world.

CZ stands for cubic zirconia, which can be considered as an alternative to diamonds. However, many jewelry shoppers have some questions about CZ diamond’s value and quality. Let’s learn more about CZs and their differences between a real diamond.
Cubic zirconia is a manmade mineral stone made of zirconium dioxide, and its features such as refractive index, dispersion, and hardness are very close to those of a natural diamond. Although cubic zirconia and a diamond appear similarly, they have very different mineral structures.
Cubic zirconia is real cubic zirconia and is a diamond simulant, not a real diamond. Diamonds are naturally found, but cubic zirconia is lab-created.
Although the look of CZs and diamonds may be similar, there are also key differences.
It’s not easy to tell a real diamond from a CZ when placed side to side. Many people think a diamond should have a crystal clear appearance, but natural diamonds often have a yellowish or brown tint. Moreover, natural diamonds have minor imperfections and flaws. These inclusions can only be identified under a microscope. On the other hand, cubic zirconia is more likely to be completely colorless and is often brilliant-cut and flawless.
Diamond is regarded to be the hardest known material in the world. So this is also a key to spot the difference. The composition of diamond is pure carbon in a crystalline structure. This structure contributes to the diamond’s sparkle and hardness. For the same size, cubic zirconia weighs more than diamonds because CZ is denser.
The final sign is the price. Diamond usually cost way more than cubic zirconia, and the cost of a 1-carat diamond can range from $1,500 to $18,000. The price of a diamond varies depending on its cut quality, color, clarity, shape, size, etc. Some buyers also prefer choosing certified diamonds from institutions such GIA and AGS laboratories to avoid buying a fake diamond.
However, the process of obtaining a certificate is costly and time-consuming, and this cost will usually reflect on the retail price of the diamonds. If you don’t mind buying a diamond ring without a certificate, the best way to avoid any risks and issues is to shop with a reputable and trustworthy dealer.
Why should you choose cubic zirconia?
In addition to its very diamond-like appearance, wearers choose cubic zirconia simulated diamond rings for the following reasons:
Versatility: Jewelry designs using cubic zirconia are as versatile as diamonds. There is a wide range of colors, styles, and cuts to select from. Whether you are looking for a solitaire CZ diamond engagement ring or a pavé setting wedding band, you can find all the high quality and designer inspired cubic zirconia diamond rings at Alamode Fashion Jewelry!
