Whether you’re a traditionalist or like to push boundaries, a diamond engagement ring is something of a given. For centuries it’s been custom to gift your loved one with a stunning diamond ring before an upcoming union, and while there are many stories on how that started, the reality is a shining diamond is incomparable in its beauty with durable qualities letting it last forever (just like your love!). When choosing engagement rings in Perth it may be tempting to go for the cheaper cubic zirconia, as they resemble a diamond, but be sure to first understand their real differences.
What is cubic zirconia?
Cubic zirconia is a synthetic gemstone created in a lab, and is clear, colourless, and cut to mimic a diamond shape. At a glance it may resemble a diamond ring, but in reality it differs immensely in true beauty, value, and physical appearance. The unique reflectiveness and shine of a real diamond cannot be copied, and their insane hardness (and their ability to cut glass!) cannot be recreated. A true diamond will emanate white light, whereas a cubic zirconia will show a rainbow of coloured light. Choosing a diamond ring in Perth means investing in a precious jewel, not only representing true love for your Perth engagement ring but also true quality.
The meaning of a real diamond
‘Diamonds are forever’ as the famous De Beers’ jewellers advertising campaign goes, and the truth of this has seeped into the love traditions of giving an engagement ring. No matter how big or showy the ring, if it’s not a real diamond then maybe it’s not real love. In realistic terms a cubic zirconia stone is worth almost nothing when you consider a resale value; often the setting is worth more than the fake stone. Stunning white diamonds will cost you more upfront, but you are guaranteed a genuine jewel that will retain it’s magic shine and value forever.
