Your Rings
My DH and I are looking for a new ring for me. Nothing too expensive. We are getting new wedding bands when we have our ceremony next year. But we also wanted to get a new ring for me. Not a replacement engagement ring but just something nice to add to the band. Don't get me wrong, I love diamonds. What girl wouldn't? But it is just so expensive and we are planning to put that money towards the actual ceremony. Anyone think its cheap or tacky to buy a white gold ring with a CZ instead? They look just as nice and much more affordable. Your thoughts?

Hi there! I will be sporting a very fake CZ ring as my engagement ring, only because my FH will be using his mother's (teeny-tiny) diamond for my ring. His brother happens to be a silversmith, and will be making my a brand new setting just for me. Because my FH insists that I help design it (I'd rather he just pick something, but oh well), it will take some time to make, therefore, it's an extrememly cheap, fake one I'll be wearing until that is done. No complaints though. To address your issue, I think CZ is more than okay! Especially since you'll eventually upgrade, I think it's very smart to play it this way. Just to add to your logic, I wanted 6 diamond "chips" for my wedding band to signify the 6 years my FH and lived together before getting married, and won't be able to afford real diamonds right away. I plan to use CZ in the band until we can slowly replace each one with a tiny diamond chip. So I say, go for it, you won't be the only one sporting CZ....I will too, and I doubt we're the only ones!
I just saw this on tv last night (late night viewing of the Modern Girls Guide to Life on Style):

Their stuff was beautiful, and they said everything was the top quality CZ available. Apparently there are 5 grades of CZ, who knew?! Very very affordable too.
My mom has this CZ necklace that is just gorgeous... people ask her all the time about it, thinking it's a real diamond.
So, I'll never tell! Go for it! Diamonds are expensive.
I checked out that website. Most of the rings are gorgeous and they are more of my style. Diamonds are great investments but right now, something like a Cz is much more feasable! Thanks everyone!
