Skip the CZ’s

10kt Wg 2.50ctw White Topaz Ring 14kt Wg 1.00ctw White Sapphire Ring 14kt Wg 1.50ct Diamond Solitaire Ring

I’m not a big fan of CZ’s, I would much rather own a natural gemstone, but I understand that most of us can’t afford large diamonds.  That’s why white sapphire & white topaz are so fantastic.  There is a white sapphire, white topaz, & white diamond pictured above, can you tell which one is which?  Honestly, I prefer the looks of the other two gemstones over the diamond because they aren’t plagued by flaws the way diamonds are so they have more sparkle. I understand if you want a diamond for an engagement ring, but consider these stones for a right hand ring, or to set into earrings.  You can get them from $25-$200, (Often less than the price of a CZ, & you get a genuine gemstone) compared to a $5,000 diamond.  The secret to pulling off this look is to set them in a way an expensive diamond would be set., & to keep the size believable.

(The order of the pictures are white topaz, white sapphire, & white diamond)
