Your relationship with your girlfriend is satisfactory, you have been going out for considerable time and are getting to know each other well enough to believe that you are compatible in many areas. Your feelings of mutual love are strong and steady and you just cannot even imagine living without her. You may be already acquainted with each other´s families and maybe even living together. You are sure that she is “the one”. What was that saying that your grandmother used to tell you? “Son, don’t marry the girl that you can live with: Marry the one that you cannot live without!”
Next step, to follow proper tradition in our western culture, you need to buy an engagement ring and propose to her. You already know she will say yes, and that she is waiting for you to take that step.
What kind or ring should you get? Your mother and aunts got diamond gold rings when they were asked in marriage. Would she be expecting you to do the same? But she knows you can´t afford it at this point, there is a global recession and although you have a steady job, nothing is certain anymore these days and you could lose it. You wouldn’t want to start your marriage with liabilities or debts.
Did you Consider 925 Silver Rings?
Silver is a beautiful noble metal loved by all women. It is more affordable too. You heard that pure silver may get damaged easily because it is soft. You read online about sterling silver jewellery and would like to check it out. Sterling silver is usually an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and %7.5 another metal to make it more solid, usually copper. You can find beautiful engagement rings made of sterling silver. Take it a notch further and chose an alloy of gold or platinum. It won’t be such a difference in prize but it will make a difference in quality. She is worth of a little more sacrifice on your part, isn’t she? After all you are just getting 7.5% gold or platinum, which is big saving already. Engagement rings traditionally come with mounted precious gems. You can choose a real semi-precious stone, or a Cubic Zirconia diamond (synthetic diamond). It is very impressive and looks just like a real natural diamond. Some say that they are even harder, more perfect and durable than the real ones. It takes a diamond expert in gemstone jewellery and advanced technology to tell the difference. You can get a nice CZ diamond sterling silver engagement ring for about $300.
She will love it! You can honestly let her know that you wish you could get her a real diamond, but that this one is the closest there is. You can tell her that the ring is made of gold mixed with silver and that you chose that one because you knew she would really like it. The ring is just a symbol of your promise to marry her. When you get the marriage alliance rings, then you can invest in real gold or platinum.
| A versatile classic, these solitaire earrings will add a touch of dazzle to any outfit. Crafted in platinum-plated sterling silver, they showcase 5mm rounds of sparkling clear cubic zirconia. The stones are cradled in four-prong settings, and the earrings are featured on posts with friction backs. The platinum plating gives these earrings a luxe finish and also makes them tarnish-proof and hypoallergenic.
About Cubic Zirconia Jewelry 
History
In 1937, Cubic Zirconia was first discovered in its natural state by German mineralogists, M. V. Stackelberg and K. Chudoba. Little did they know the tiny crystals that they discovered would move on to become a popular synthetic gemstone. It wasn’t until the 1970s that Cubic Zirconia was first used in the jewelry world, when scientists began growing the crystals in the laboratory. Starting in the 1980s, Cubic Zirconia began growing in popularity and today is it one of the most popular diamond substitutes available on the market.
Composition
Cubic Zirconia is the cubic form of zirconium oxide that is created in a laboratory. Its durable material allows the synthetic stone to be molded into a variety of shapes. The stone offers brilliant shine and flawless clarity. Cubic Zirconia is offered in a wide range of colors, including a colorless form that is an economically important competitor to natural diamonds.
Caring For Your Cubic Zirconia Jewelry
Like natural diamonds, Cubic Zirconia needs to be cared for in order to maintain its original brilliance and shine. Clean with warm-to-hot water and a soft brush with a mild soap, then immediately dry with a clean cloth after rinsing. Avoid contact with perfume, body lotion, hairspray or any other chemical that may harm the shine of the stone.

 WORTH EVERY PENNY
By Joel
My wife loves jewelry. She is not the flashy type or one to fuss over the price of jewelry. If it looks nice, then that is all that should matter. If you or your loved one fit any of the above description, then these earrings are perfect.
PROS:
1. They look better than diamonds. Diamonds have flaws, these rocks are flawless and shine like you would not believe.
2. They are NOT huge; measure out 5millimeters and you will see. This was an interesting observation: when my wife opened the box she shuttered to think how much I spent on purchasing her a set of real diamond earrings; and then delighted at what a great deal they were and how beautiful they looked. In other words these earrings are of the size where they could easily be considered diamonds.
3. Platinum overlayed. Typically Cubic Zirconia is set in sterling silver. I think this is partly because if they were set in platinum and gold we would stop purchasing diamonds and buy Cubic Zirconia instead. These earrings are overlayed with platinum so they look great (and also do not have the weight of platinum).
CONS:
None.
IN SUMMARY:
Buy them for your wife or loved one. You will not be disappointed. This item was in my Amazon Gold Box for $9.99; I still think at $19.99 they are a steal.

Great Product, Amazing Service
By Amazon Shopper
I bought these for myself and absolutely love them! They are good quality and very shiny and pretty. They are a little bigger than I though they would be, but are the same size as most CZ earrings I see in stores at the mall. I’ve asked my friends if they look too big or gaudy and they’ve all said no. So I’m keeping them!
One of the earrings I received had a loose stone from the beginning. Not so bad that it would fall out, but annoying because whenever I would put it on, take it off, or accidentally touch it putting my hair behind my ear, I could hear the stone moving around a bit. I requested an exchange and received an email almost immediately with detailed information. I received my replacement pair in less than a week! The second pair is just fine and I am very pleased with the ease and speed with which my exchange was handled.
I highly recommend this product and this seller!

Perfect size earrings!
By annie
I bought these once and lost one, then had to wait several months for Amazon to start carrying them again. To me, they are the perfect size for a woman, without looking gaudy. Very nice sparkle. Great price!
