Our ever so popular Karianne’s Celebrity Inspired Wedding Ring Set – Petite 2.5 Carats is a customer favorite and great replacement option:

Cubic Zirconia Diamond Jewelry Cuts – Diamond Cuts- Hearts & Arrows

The very moment when you’re asked the big question and you finally see that dazzling diamond ring for the first time, we all imagine ourselves seeing stars. However, if you look a little closer, you may be seeing hearts and arrows as well! Maybe you’ve heard about these hearts, maybe you’ve seen these arrows; here’s a little knowledge behind this heart and arrow pattern and what it means for your diamond.

When mentioning the heart and arrow pattern found on a diamond, each design can be found on opposite sides of the stone, usually under a microscope. Keep in mind your diamond must have been cut specifically to visually render these patterns. If you view your diamond from the top, namely focusing on its flat surface, you’ll see a circular pattern of arrow shapes pointing outward. If it’s possible to view your stone from below, namely from the opposite side, you’ll see a circular pattern of hearts.

What does this pattern mean? This heart and arrow pattern is just a way to demonstrate an exquisite cut, meaning that your diamond should look extremely symmetrical. Keep in mind that this heart and arrow pattern does not measure a stone’s brilliance, but rather simply measures the degree of symmetry. It is very possible to produce this pattern with a lower quality diamond. In fact, some experts advise some jewelers not to produce this heart and arrow pattern on diamonds 10 carats and above, since diamonds of that carat weight are already typically high performing.

For more heart and arrow style patterns for less check out our Sonia’s Signity CZ Engagement Ring – Round Cut, our Melanie’s Signity CZ Engagement Ring, or even our Lindsay’s 2 CT Brilliant Cut CZ Engagement Ring along with our fabulous collection of  diamond CZ engagement rings!  Be sure to follow our weekly blog posts, only at Emitations.

With incredibly sparkly jewelry, up-to-date styles from the latest trends, and affordable prices, Emitations is no doubt the best source for real deal bling without the real deal price. Along with earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, our engagement rings awe people everywhere while our customers feel like they are wearing the real thing. It’s no surprise, as cubic zirconia is ultimately a synthetically perfect diamond. This is why every one of our CZ’s has spectacular shine and truly looks like the real thing. Because CZ’s are flawless, they can even look more real that actual diamond jewelry! Why pay thousands more for the real deal, when you can get the same look for much much less?

With the recession, the popularity and acceptance of wearing cubic zirconia and sterling silver has begun to rise. Because of the economy, lack of jobs, and insufficient income, many people are now turning to more affordable jewelry – “fake” jewelry that looks real. Diamond rings are being replaced with real-looking cubic zirconia and sterling silver engagement rings along with other diamond and valuable jewelry. Real looking faux jewelry is also a must have for traveling. Instead of risking a valuable diamond ring, a CZ version that’s a small fraction of the price can be worn as a temporary replacement while on vacation.

With our ever growing collection of affordable real looking jewelry, our customers continue to be astonished and surprised about how genuine and stunning each of our products look, especially with our selection of engagement rings. Some of our most real looking and highly ranked rings include: Anise’s Fake Engagement Ring, Barstow’s Three Stone Engagement Ring, Carly’s Fake Engagement Ring, Elisa’s Promise Ring, and Marion’s Engagement Ring.

Here below are quotes from our customer reviews about our selected real deal rings:

Anise’s Fake Engagement Ring: “I bought this ring as a back-up engagement ring while mine was being fixed. Was hesitant to buy due to the fact I have tiny fingers and felt the ring might look too “fake”, but I loved the style so I purchased it anyway. I’m so glad I did! This ring is absolutely breathtaking. I wore it in to pick up my “real” ring and the manager at the jewelry store was fooled, said it was the best “fake” she’d ever seen!

- Kasara from San Francisco, CA.

Barstow’s Three Stone Engagement Ring: “The center stone is incredibly sparkly, even more than my real diamond solitaire!”

- Chloe from France.

Carly’s Fake Engagement Ring: “I just received this today. The ring is very well made, definitely passes for real, better than pictured.”

- Bebela from Los Angeles, CA.

Elisa’s Promise Ring: “Although the stone was bigger than I expected, I was really really happy with the ring. The ring fits superbly and it sparkles like the real deal.”

- Kamilah from Barbados.

Marion’s Engagement Ring: “I purchased this ring to bring on vacation instead of my own engagement ring. It actually looks pretty close to the one I have. And unless you are a diamond expert, you cannot tell the difference.”

-Genna from Montreal, Canada

Chantha's Grey Coin Pearl Bracelet - Emitations

Ladies and gentlemen, summertime has finally arrived.  It’s time to get outside, lather on the sun block and enjoy some serious rays.  But be warned, this summer’s anticipated outdoor activities may wreak havoc on your jewelry.  Emitations wants to share some helpful summer jewelry tips from Antoinette Matlin’s book, “Jewelry & Gems: The Buying Guide.”  Follow these simple guidelines to ensure that your jewelry stays looking stunning.

Tip #1 – Chlorine

Before you think about swan diving into a swimming pool, remove your jewelry.  Chlorine tends to damage metal and some stones, diminishing your jewelry’s texture and brilliant luster.

Tip#2 – Cool Water

If you find yourself swimming in the ocean, keep in mind that if you’re wearing rings, the freezing cold water may cause some shrinkage to your finger.  You don’t want your ring to slip off while surfing or skinny dipping.  Try a ring size reducer to prevent slippage.

Tip#3 – Double Check Your Jewelry Settings

Summertime activities tend to be very physical and it’s a good idea to double check that all jewelry stones and gems are securely within their settings.  You don’t want to walk away from a beach volley ball game with fewer carats than you started with.

Tip#4 – Gardening

You may want to want to get out and flaunt your green thumb this summer, but keep in mind that intense gardening work could lead to chips and cracks in your jewelry, especially if you’re wearing rings.  Remove jewelry items to prevent any unnecessary scratches.  It’s also a good idea to apply a jeweler’s skin guard to reduce irritation and discoloration during other outside activities.

Tip#5 – Waterproofing
Always make sure that your watches are waterproof before engaging in water related activities.  This could really spoil your next game of Marco Polo.  Use a jewelry box to safe guard your accessories this summer.

We want every glam goddess looking fabulous this summer, without causing  any damage to her bling.  Visit Emitations.com for more of this summer’s hottest accessories and stay up to date with our daily blog posts.

Who says guys can’t pull off jewelry?  The Top 10 Best Dressed list has been posted after this past Sunday’s 2011 Billboard Music Awards.  Although photographers flocked to snag photos of artists like Rihanna and Taylor Swift, who both made it onto “The Billboard Music Awards’ Top 10 Best Dressed,” one of the surprising stars that made it into the list was R&B sultry songwriter, Trey Songz.

Trey Songz arrived to the event, representing for the men in a sleek black suit and white sneakers.  Of course he didn’t forget to bring the bling.  Trey rocked a pair of round cut diamond stud earrings, as well as a beaded necklace.  Wait, did we just say a beaded necklace?  That’s right, stylists agree that this bold accessory choice definitely earned him a spot as one of the Top 10 Best Dressed.

“It seems that no matter what he wears, he always is strolling down the red carpet with swagger and ease. His loose, yet pulled together look always leaves the ladies swooning.  So, perhaps the layered beaded necklace is the NEXT it thing for men? When it comes to Trey — and those dimples — it seems his style is never wrong!” says Niki Schwan, noted celebrity stylist.
