Which Stone Cut for your Gold CZ Tennis Bracelets?

A cubic zirconia is cut and shaped in much the same way as a diamond, so knowing what the right cut your gold cz tennis bracelets stone should be isn’t going to be that difficult. All you have to do is compare the cuts to typical diamond cuts and then base your decision on what would look best in your tennis bracelet.

Ever wondered why stones are cut the way they are?  For diamonds and for cubic zirconia stones, the correct term for the popular rounded shaped is the round brilliant cut.  The bottom of the jewel is a cone shape, while the top of the jewel is cut with a round face-up shape.  Of course the jewel isn’t smooth and round, exactly, but it has small facets cut into the design. This design is what causes any jewel to sparkle, the light refracting off the each of the facets.

The most favoured cut for a gold cz tennis bracelet remains the round brilliant cut. They sparkle and are absolutely dazzling!  Typically the cubic zirconia stone is set in either a round mold, or a square mold. It fits perfectly in either shape.

Another favourite cut when it comes to the cubic zirconia stone set into a tennis bracelet is the Princess cut.  Generally speaking, square or rectangular cuts just don’t shine the same as the round brilliant cut.  Because of this, the Princess cut was specifically designed to get the max shine and sparkle from the rather boring square or rectangular cuts and it is now the second most popular cut for the cubic zirconia. The Princess cut has a square or rectangular top, while the bottom of the stone is a cone shape.  The sides are faceted, and again the goal is brilliance and sparkles!  Usually, though, even with gold cz tennis bracelets, the princess cut stones are generally a bit cheaper than the Round Brilliant.

Of course you are not limited to these classic cuts though, with your cubic zirconia bracelets. To the contrary, these days you can find stones cut in rectangular, oval, triangular or even heart shapes!

As the tennis bracelet is fashion jewelry, they are not limited to stones cut only one way or the other. A quick look online, at some of the online stores carrying gold cz tennis bracelets, will show you the plethora of styles available these days. There’s definitely sure to be something just right for you.
