| I would love to purchase a Cubic Zirconia eternity ring and tennis bracelet to wear for formal events. Since I wouldn't necessarily wear these every day, I don't see the point in spending thousands on the real versions. Does anyone have suggestions on brands/stores to purchase? Thank you. |
| Freecz.com. they have excellent quality of CZs. |
Sorry- I realize I sound illiterate- on phone with boss and distracted. |
| I can't find that website--freecz.com--is there another one? |
| I would tell you not to purchase CZs. They really only last about a year before they're cloudy and not pretty. They don't look like diamonds either since the settings are always so bad. |

I'd take a look at the costume jewelry at Nordstrom or Lord and Taylor. The quality of the setting does make a difference in how real they look (which is why I haven't bought anything from BaubleBar or similar). I did find it difficult to find anything smaller than a 7 though, and the larger stones tend to look pretty fake and ridiculous. Again, this is why I think it helps to shop in person for these.
Modestly sized CZ can be pretty convincing and I haven't had problems with them getting cloudy. I have some small studs that I travel with (or for when I just don't feel like taking the five minutes to screw in the backs of my real diamond earrings), plus a ring set from when I was pregnant and too puffy. |
| Diamond Nexus. They say it's not CZ, but it basically is. The quality is pretty good and they are easy to work with. |
| NP has anyone ordered from Ross Simmons? Is the quality good? |
I have. The CZ was fine, and haven't had any issues with cloudiness, but wasn't impressed by the setting. |
