Colored Cubic Zirconia Wedding Bands And Full Eternity Diamond Rings

Posted in Jewelry on March 11th, 2010 by Jim – Comments Off

Some of the top colored cubic zirconia wedding bands are the ones that have been inspired by celebrity jewelry and are very popular because they are really affordable. For really dramatic and wild creations you can find some colored CZ ring designs at Blair, Eve’s Addiction and Emitations, as well as Bling Jewelers and Ross Simons. Wedding bands that have colored stones may be elaborate creations, more resembling cocktail rings that simple bands, but serving the purpose of being a wedding ring and engagement ring all at once. However, one of the most popular designs for clear and colored cubic zirconia wedding bands is the eternity ring. Eternity rings come in three basic designs, half eternity rings which have 5 to 7 or more stones along the top of the ring but none on the backside, full eternity rings, which have gemstones all around the band and trilogy or three-stone rings that have three gems and are in fact not true eternity bands, but are categorized as such by most jewelry shops. For colored eternity rings, you will want to shop Bling, Emitations and Limoges, but most especially Fantasy Jewelry Box where you can find full eternity bands in every color under the sun starting at just under $20 and going up to about $60 for some amazing stackable ones.

Price Comparison For Colored Cubic Zirconia Wedding Bands Versus Full Eternity Diamond Rings:

If you have your heart set on full eternity diamond rings as your wedding bands, then you must be prepared to pay a heavy price unless you opt for CZ gems instead of diamonds. Let’s look at some options and compare prices so you can make an informed decision and budget accordingly.

For an average size 7 ring that has genuine diamonds all around in a channel setting, set in solid 14k gold, it will cost at least $500 to almost $800 for such a creation, and that will not include the finest quality diamonds. For better quality diamonds and larger stones, double the price to $1,000 to $1,600 for about a total weight of 1 carat of diamonds in full eternity diamond rings set in gold, white or yellow. A pave set full eternity band with 4 rows of diamonds in gold will cost almost $3,000 and that will be using the lowest grade diamond possible. The better ones will cost about $4,500 without increasing the carat weight or the size of the stones. An eternity ring with colored gems staggered around the white gold band will cost over $2,000 for a low quality gemstone selection and about $3,000 for higher quality stones. If you’re a little frightened by these prices, then you may be ready to consider shopping for white, clear or colored cubic zirconia wedding bands in the eternity ring style.

Let’s see what they cost. I’ll use the collections at Fantasy Jewelry Box to compare because they have one of the widest collections of eternity rings online.

The eternity band that resembles the pave set full eternity band that costs between $3,000 and $4,500 in diamonds, costs just under $70 and is set is solid sterling silver. It’s quite remarkable how much the two bands resemble each other and how much difference there is in price.

A full set of stackable colored cubic zirconia wedding bands in almost any color you can image, starts at around $100 and most other designs are $40, $50 and up to $70. No, they’re not diamonds, and no they’re not set in gold, but they are set in silver and they are dazzling and if you need a cheap wedding band that sparkles you needn’t spend thousands if you don’t have the means. Try Fantasy Jewelry Box, Bling, Emitations, Ros Simons, and other online shops and save on CZ rings, wedding bands, and even engagement rings.
