Why Are We Searching for Ethical CZ Jewelry Designers?

We’re searching for ethical cubic zirconia jewelry designers because we can’t seem to find CZ jewelry for sale anywhere online or in jewelry shops around the world that use fair trade gold. We’d love to be able to recommend a place where readers could choose to shop for yellow and white gold CZ rings made from gold that’s been mined in such as way as to minimizing harmful impact on the environment and is traded in a way that benefits workers and communities instead of funding conflicts.

While there are plenty of ethical gold designers who craft unique jewelry using fairly traded or recycled precious metals, most of these designers utilize ethically sourced genuine gemstones and real Canadian diamonds not cubic zirconia. While these creations are finely crafted, singular, environmentally friendly and meet or exceed international fair trade standards, most items are beyond the reach of average buyers looking for an affordable ethical option. If buying cheap cubic zirconia rings is a means to stop purchasing conflict gemstone jewelry and unethically sourced diamonds, it seems a shame that the gold used in commercially available yellow and white gold CZ rings should be crafted with unethically sourced gold.

What To Do if You Want a Gold CZ Ring and Can’t Find an Ethical Designer?

If you’ve stumbled upon this post because you’re aware of the problem with yellow and white gold cubic zirconia rings that are being manufactured commercially, and you’re looking for a dealer or a place to buy ethical CZ jewelry mounted in gold, we suggest that one viable alterative is to choose to have a piece custom made using an old gold ring or by buying an antique piece and having it rebuilt, or simply choosing an ethical gold mounting that’s already crafted. It’s a bit of extra legwork, getting an ethical jeweler to create a gold mounting, then buying a loose CZ gem and having it set, but it is possible and ends up being an ethical ring you can be proud of. Having a gold mounting created by a local or online jeweler is not as expensive as you might imagine – not much more than buying the gold wedding band from a commercial outlet. CZ gemstone can be bought loose for between $20 to $70 (even some of the top quality enhanced gems will not cost much more). Then you can have it mounted into the gold band.

If you can’t find an ethical source for affordable white gold CZ rings, and we can’t find designers to recommend, then it seems we’re all stuck with what’s available. So, if you’d like information on some places to shop for fake wedding rings (not in gold mountings) and imitation diamond rings ( with gold or silver bands) or would prefer to stick with silver that’s rhodium plated by choosing something like the CZ Russian wedding rings, then please browse other related posts for ideas.

Cubic zirconia wedding bands and some cheap cubic zirconia rings can be ethical options for bridal jewelry, although in many cases the cheapest versions won’t last as long as the gold ones. One other alterative may be to choose titanium CZ rings – they’re quite affordable and the bands will last a lifetime.

Ethical Real Gemstone and Gold Alternatives

If you’re in a position to purchase real gemstone ethical diamond and gold rings, the places to shop that offer quality fair trade and ethically sourced pieces are Fifi Bijoux, Harriet Kelsall Jewellery in the UK, and a company called Oria, as well as funky design team called Bario-Neal, who use fairly traded and recycled metals as well as quality ethically sourced gems. April Doubleday is another designer who creates beautiful gold and gemstone rings that are ethical and use fairly trades stones. She also uses some faux gems and may be willing to set CZ stones in custom pieces using fair trade gold.

There are singular pieces by each of these designers that are somewhat more affordable, but if they’re still beyond your budget constraints, perhaps you can send them an email to ask if they’d be willing to creating unique white gold CZ rings priced for budget conscious conscientious individuals. (The white gold diamond ring pictures featured in this post are all from the genuine gemstone and gold designers mentioned above – none are cubic zirconia creations.)

Want delicate, darling, cute and charming? Then you’ll have to go elsewhere because Real Collectibles isn’t a place for domesticated or even tamed women to shop. It’s about larger than life, bodacious drama, artistic eccentricities, wild color, contrasting gemstones, multidimensional eternity rings, multi-layered diamonite wedding bands, and CZ cocktail rings that are jewels within jewels and are fiercely individual.

1. Cubic Zirconia Engagement Rings Like No Other: This massively gorgeous creation offers by Adrienne offers its wearer over 4 carats of CZ Diamonite gems and costs only $49.95.

2. The Master Cutter’s CZ wedding ring set costs under $35 and has over 8 carats of gems. The central stone princess cut, prong set solitaire style gem with round pavé set clear CZs arranged around the band to accent the sculpted diamond cutout shapes. This is an elaborate creation for a woman with healthy self esteem.

3. If you’re not a wall flower and want to make an entrance, this Vintage-Inspired CZ band has an eye-popping, jaw dropping rectangular gem that weighs over 12 carats. The wide band onto which the gem is mounted may appear to be layered or stacked but in fact is a multi-chain textured band that has a highly polished and antiqued gold-tone finish. This gold CZ ring costs just under $40!

4. Tanzanite CZ Cocktail Rings for just under $60. Faux tanzanite and genuine CZ make up this outrageously delightful blue piece of jewelry. For CZ wedding rings that are nowhere near traditional, give rare periwinkle blue tanzanite a try. Vibrant, and sparkling all one – translucence and color!

5. Tiered of looking at the same old eternity rings? Even stacking bands looking too plain? Then here’s a multidimensional jeweled dome of a ring with multi-toned metals as well as exactly 1 billion different colored crystals and gems – okay not exactly 1 billion, but a lot!

   We’ve thrown this ring into the collections we present because it’s so fun, but in fact it isn’t crafted with cubic zirconia but with crystals that are both clear and honey topaz in color. The design is available in two metal choices, either the golden / silver one we present here, or silver / hematite. The whole set costs just $60.


6. Your average sterling silver CZ rings will look a little boring when they rest side by side with the likes of the cubic zirconia and simulated turquoise ring or the Butterflies and Flowers creations.
   

   Both pieces are just under $60, so take your pick….either are quite a fingerfull of jewelry. The turquoise one has almost a carat and a half of cubic zirconia stones as well as the mammoth piece of faux turquoise, while the garden of flowers and butterflies and fairies and snakes and dragonflies and …..oh, we mean the purple ring, has about 20 carats of CZ gems, which includes the treated colored central gem that’s also a cubic zirconia Diamonite.

 


7. Not amongst your average emerald cut cubic zirconia rings is this blue masterpiece that has a blue crystal in an emerald-cut shape over 5.27 carats of cubic zirconia spread over the wide silver-tone band that is a sparkle from below and above with radiance that is visible through the blue crystal. This is the famous jewels within jewels by Adrienne. It retails for just under $50. By the way, it’s technically called a bridge ring.

8. If you still haven’t found the faux ring you desire, then perhaps the bizarre 4.42 carat CZ flower ring called the En Tremblant may be the creation you had in mind. Dripping with flowers and sparkling gems, this piece is an excellent choice since it’s rhodium plated and therefore offers a high quality and durable finish that resembles platinum. It’s good value at under $60.

He will treasure his ring and feel naked without it just as you will. The key to lady’s rings and men’s rings is how they’re given, what they represent and if the style will suit your partner’s everyday lifestyle.

Cubic Zirconia Rings and Honeymoon Dreams

Cubic zirconia rings can be a great alternative to diamonds because there is no reason to spend hundreds, or thousands, of dollars on jewelry that you could better use to create memories, to live, to share with your friends or to just have a more exciting honeymoon of your dreams. (My husband and I went to Macau and two other islands in the South China Sea, which would have been impossible had we bought expensive diamonds wedding rings.)

Gold or silver rings, wedding ring sets with cubic zirconia settings in titanium or platinum, antique engagement rings handed down as heirlooms or white gold bands with stones the size of mountains will not make your love stronger or your days happier. Although rings sparkle and diamonds are a tradition, the cubic zirconia bracelets, or ring, or earrings, or anklet or toe ring you give need only make your partner’s eyes sparkle when they say “I do!”

CZ Rings with dazzle not Frazzle

Since preparing for a wedding is stressful, and what really matters is the two of you, as I write I include suggestions for cubic zirconia rings that may be perfect for your special day. What’s even better is that you can buy CZ rings online and save yourself some time.

Choose your rings and have them shipped to your door instead of shopping in jewelry shops and getting frazzled over the choices. And with all the time and money you’ve saved ring shopping, pack a picnic basket with a bottle of wine and some cheese and go on…live a little…surprise your honey… because YOU (not diamonds) are your partner’s best friend.
