Gold CZ Tennis Bracelets

While most women would love to own a 14ct gold diamond tennis bracelet, few woman can afford the luxury these days! However, there is an alternative that is well within the price range of most, and that is a silver or gold cz tennis bracelet! The cost for gold cz tennis bracelets are much less, in most cases, than tennis bracelets set with real diamonds.

For those of you who may not know what cubic zirconia stones are, simply put they are a synthesized stone, first commercially produced in 1976, that very closely resemble naturally formed diamonds. They match them in so many ways that it is sometimes difficult for the untrained eye to tell the difference.

If you are buying an engagement ring, well, it is probably important that you buy a genuine diamond. But when it comes to other jewelry, such as a tennis bracelet, it is often perfectly acceptable to buy a cubic zirconia tennis bracelet.

For all intents and purposes they look much the same as a diamond tennis bracelet, with the one difference that is quickly noticed being the cost. Other differences, that a trained eye can see, are things such as whether it flashes color (fire) or light (brilliance) with diamonds having more brilliance and less fire than cubic zirconia stones. They’re also colorless, where a real diamond is rarely totally colorless and if it is, it costs a packet! Also, cubic zirconia stones are very hard, but not quite as hard as a diamond–still that is not something that an average jewelry buyer could tell.

Think about it though. If you are buying a tennis bracelet, why invest such a lot of money (up to $5000) for a diamond set bracelet, when you could have a look-alike bracelet, which would suit your needs and still look classy and elegant for hundreds of dollars instead of thousands?

They are not cheap jewelry, even if you buy gold cz tennis bracelets, but they aren’t as extravagantly priced as the all-diamond variety. Of course, if you are very rich, or a famous sports woman, maybe you could afford a diamond tennis bracelet. If not, you really wouldn’t go wrong with the gold cz tennis bracelets!

Are Gold CZ Tennis Bracelets Safe to Wear For Sports?

Many people like to wear some form of jewelry when they play sports, but not all jewelry is safe to wear. In some instances it can actually cause bodily damage, such as when an earring gets caught and ripped out, tearing the ear during a game of basketball, for example. In other instances, it’s just not practical to wear jewelry as it gets caught and broken. Gold cz tennis bracelets, however, are some of the safer jewelry to wear while playing sports, aside from rings which are perhaps the safest jewelry of all to wear.

Cubic Zirconia bracelets fit snug against the wrist in most instances, and unlike some other charm style bracelets with dangling charms and beads, tennis bracelets are made in such a way that the stones are inlaid in a flat style. This type of bracelet, until recently, was referred to as the in-line bracelet as the stones are all set in line with one another. While they may not be recommended for more strenuous sports, like basketball as an example, they are usually fine to wear for tennis, badminton, swimming, track, and other such non contact sports.

One problem you may face with your gold cz tennis bracelet is that the snap may give way. It is important to keep an eye on the snaps themselves, as they can become worn and thus not close as firmly, or they may just pop right open. The best thing to do, if you’re going to wear tennis bracelets while playing sports, is to fit it with a safety chain. This chain should be short enough that even if the snap comes open the bracelet will not easily slide off your wrist.

If you are planning on wearing your tennis bracelet while playing sports, you may want to set aside your diamond tennis bracelet and instead choose the cheaper, yet still very nice cubic zirconia bracelet. If anything should happen to your bracelet, the loss to your pocketbook would be a good deal less with gold cz tennis bracelets as they are not as costly to buy as the ‘real deal’ diamond tennis bracelet.

Chris Evert realized this during the 1987 US Open Tennis Tournament. It was during this match that her diamond in-line bracelet broke, and the game was halted while she picked up her diamond bracelet from the tennis court. This was when this style of bracelet was labelled as the ‘tennis bracelet’. Naturally, a lot of interest in this style of bracelet was also revived, thus making it a fashion bracelet.

But unless you are able and willing to part with diamonds, you probably should only wear gold cz tennis bracelets whilst playing sports, or engaging in any activities that could result in either a lost or broken bracelet!

Cubic Zirconia Silver Tennis Bracelet 8″? I had thought of doing four reasons for guys and five reasons for gals, but as it’s late I decided it was way too much work to do that, so I’ll just give my top four reasons and say whether it’s a guy or a gal perspective.

Guys/Gals: Cubic Zirconias are Cheaper than Diamonds.

Do you have any idea how expensive a diamond tennis bracelet is? Outrageous for the average, young wage-earner. If you have thousands of dollars to spend on a bracelet, well, OK, don’t read on. This doesn’t apply to you. If you are like me, young and not rolling in the mulah just yet, then you may want to consider the gold cz tennis bracelets options.

Realistically, who is going to tell whether they are real diamonds or not? The subtle differences between real diamonds and the cubic zirconia stones are very hard to catch, unless you’re a professional with professional equipment. They look as nice, sparkle just as much, and in my opinion the cubic zirconia bracelets are a match for their more expensive counterpart any day.

Guys: Looking for a non-marriage related gift?

So, you like this girl, she’s great fun to go out with but you’re not sure if you’re even ready for a steady relationship, let alone an engagement. Well then, if you want to give her a classy and definitely well received gift but one that comes without all the connotations of marriage, think gold cz tennis bracelets. They are classy. Jewelry is always a great gift for a woman. And they don’t reek of marriage. A good birthday or Christmas gift, trust me. I’m a gal.

Guys/Gals: Tennis Bracelets are In.

Ever since Chris Evert halted her 1987 U.S. Open tennis match to retrieve her broken diamond tennis bracelet, which were then incidentally referred to as in-line bracelets, they have been in vogue. That one simple act, of stopping an open tennis match and groping around the tennis court for the pieces to her bracelet, put the ‘tennis bracelet’ in the limelight. Of course everyone wanted one. But could everyone buy designer diamond jewelry like super tennis-star Chris Evert? No. Don’t be silly. Most of us are lucky if we can buy any jewelry.

Aha, but you can be in. Buy a gold cz tennis bracelet instead. Minimal cost for a look alike that matches it’s big sister in beauty, sparkle and shine!

Which Stone Cut for your Gold CZ Tennis Bracelets?

susan — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:45:44 +0000

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.

Diamond Look-Alike, Gold CZ Tennis Bracelets

Cubic zirconia stones, an alternative to naturally formed diamonds, are very popular when it comes to jewelry. One piece of jewelry in particular that benefits from using CZ (Cubic Zirconia) is the tennis bracelet, or in-line bracelet as it is also known as. Gold CZ tennis bracelets look every bit as elegant as those made with real precious stones, they shine and glitter just as much, at only a fraction of the cost.

Depending on the amount of stones used, a diamond tennis bracelet can end up being very expensive, so expensive that they are very costly to buy and thus are often overlooked as a present. To the contrary, the gold cz tennis bracelet is generally very affordable. And everyone knows that tennis bracelets are very popular when given as a gift, due to their lovely design and the fantastic fashion statement they make whenever they are worn.

Cubic zirconia bracelets are often difficult to distinguish from the genuine diamond bracelet to the untrained eye, especially when looked at from a distance. It takes a keen eye or someone who is knowledgeable about jewelry and precious stones, to be able to tell at a glance whether the bracelet is made from diamonds or cubic zirconia.

It has been said that gold cz tennis bracelets are often the perfect gift a man can give a women, one that doesn’t make her automatically think of marriage or engagement, as tends to happen whenever a women is given a cubic zirconia ring, even just a simple friendship ring, for a gift. So, men, if you want to get her something she’ll treasure and something that is beautiful, but you don’t want her to think you are proposing to her, then go ahead and check out the excellent range of gold cz tennis bracelets that are available.

Not only are they carried by most jewellers, but they are also very readily available on line too, and can be ordered, paid for and shipped, all from the comfort of your own home. The actual bracelet or link part of tennis bracelets is often made from either platinum or gold. Gold cz tennis bracelets are popular, as are the cheaper silver cz tennis bracelets. My favourite is the more classic gold cz tennis bracelet rather than silver, but every woman has different tastes so be sure to find out what the lady in your life prefers before buying her one.
