Green is the color of money, which is coincidentally what you will be saving a lot of by shopping for cubic zirconia jewelry. The forecasted trend for Spring 2007 includes green in a big way, which makes green jewelry a must-have for those with an eye for the latest in fashion. The color of green in a gemstone is commonly associated with emerald, which is the birthstone for May, and Peridot, which represents the August birthstone. Whether this revisited color is symbolic of a birthdate or a statement in style, get ready to go green.

If you are a lover of blue, you are not alone. It is widely believed that this is the favorite color of most Americans and, as such, is an always popular and yet classic gemstone. When done in cubic zirconia, you can combine a bold look, flawless coloration and an affordable price tag. Just what makes blue so popular? Aside from the fact that it looks fantastic with denim, blue cz jewelry is a very affordable alternative to genuine blue topaz jewelry.

When it comes to getting the top trends for less loot, consider the popularity of pink cubic zirconia. We have all seen the large pink diamond ring that a certain actor gave to a certain actress/musician as an engagement ring not so long ago, but what most of us will never see is that exact style in genuine diamonds sitting on our finger. Unless you are fabulously wealthy, a large pink diamond may not be within your budget. Most will agree, however, that pink cubic zirconia jewelry is well within reason. And, why not? You can have the same look for a lot less money and still enjoy the latest in trendy jewelry. Pink cubic zirconia is a popular alternative to a pink diamond, and it also remains as one of the most highly sought after colorations in cz designs.

If you like pink, then you probably love red. Have you ever heard of a red diamond? If not, don't fret. Not everyone has heard of this extremely rare diamond coloration, but it does exist and, if you have a fortune to spend, a genuine red diamond can be yours. But for everyone else, red cz is a terrific substitute. Not only can red cz simulate a red diamond, but it can also serve as a popular alternative to the July birthstone, which is ruby. Today, rubies remain one of the most precious gemstones in the world, along with sapphire, emeralds and diamonds. As such, a genuine ruby is very expensive and finding it in jewelry is not always an easy task. Rather than an exhaustive search and a hefty price tag, red cubic zirconia is ideal for the July baby, the red diamond lover and as a terrific Valentine's Day gift.

If you want to spice up your jewelry wardrobe, consider adding a splash of color to your accessories. Not only can this brighten up your day, but it can also say a lot about your sense of fashion. The truth is that for as long as there are genuine gemstones, there will be colorful cubic zirconia jewelry and neither will ever go out of style. If you want the boldest look with the smallest price tag, cubic zirconia jewelry is the way to go. When combined with sterling silver, you not only get a terrific look and a price tag to match, you will get a precious metal designed to last a lifetime.
