Vintage Cubic Zirconia Gold Rings
Genuine vintage cubic zirconia rings will be difficult to find, what I mean is that cubic zirconia themselves are not that old since they have only been used commercially in jewelry since about 1976. Naturally it is possible to find used and second hand items at vintage shops that carry pieces from the 80’s, but you’ll find that the first stones were not of the best quality and second hand items will likely not be set in gold and the gems may have become scratched or dull over time. What most people want when they search for vintage cubic zirconia jewelry is items that have a vintage style but in fact are new. The best of these are the CZ gold rings that are crafted in antique filigree designs and art deco pieces that incorporate colored CZ gems in unusual and elaborate settings both as ladies cocktail rings and beautiful wedding sets.
Fun and Frivolous Cheap Vintage Cubic Zirconia Jewelry
If you are searching for really cheap and fun baubles for parties, vintage CZ ring designs abound for under $50 at places like Eve’s Addiction and even Emitations and Almost Diamonds as well as Ross Simons. Most of these pieces are patterned after antique and vintage styles and look excellent but are set in silver or electroplated metals.
Serious CZ Gold Rings – Engagement and Wedding Sets
If you’re looking for the best possible CZ gold rings for an engagement set or wedding ring that’s high quality yet affordable, I suggest shopping at Goldenmine or JewelBasket, where solid gold rings are available in vintage and antique styles but incorporate the more affordable CZ gems instead of diamonds or rubies or emeralds. For $150 to $200 you can find some antique styles and vintage designs that are set in 14k gold, you can also choose eternity rings which are a timeless classic design that can match three-stone rings and solitaires that have just a touch of vintage flair.
