So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Complete Guide to Cubic Zirconia Rings

By Abigail Sweet

Looking for a beautiful new ring but don't have or do not want to spend the thousands of dollars needed for a real diamond ring? Look no further; cubic zirconia rings are the answer! Sometimes referred to as "CZ", cubic zirconia rings are affordable and sure to please. You can find a CZ ring for any occasion such as engagement rings, weddings rings, promise rings, eternity rings, cocktail rings, or even just every day rings.

First found in 1982 is a synthetic stone known as Cubic Zirconia. It first became known to scientists in the 30s in Germany. They cared little about the discovery and gave it no name. Till this very day it is still called its scientific name; cubic zirconia. Sometime in the 1970s large scale production of the gem started and totaled milllons of carats by the 1980s.

The cubic form of zirconium oxide gives us one of mans most cherished gemstones, Cubic Zirconia. By design a very hard material, boasting a rating of 8 on the mohs scale cubic zirconia makes a great candidate for use in the production of jewelry. It has many diamond like qualities including a .060 dispersion power and a 2.176 refractive index. These factors along with its flawlessness create a gem almost identical to diamond.

Like many other forms of jewelry, Cubic Zirconia Rings are sold many ways. By far the latest and greatest trend with CZ rings is replica rings worn by celebrities. For thousands and thousands less then what the famous crowd paid you can buy rings designed to be identical made out of Cubic Zirconia. Linsay Lohan, Heidi Montag, J-Lo, Mariah, and Kendra are just a few of the celebs with replica rings on the market.

A true bargain is a Cubic Zirconia Ring. Compared to their over priced siblings, a beautiful CZ ring can be purchased for as low as a few dollars. This includes a amazing selection from heart shaped to princess cuts. Even higher quality rings can be found online ranging from under $100 to thousands of dollars. Adding precious elements to the mix such as gold, platinum or silver you can easily create a beautiful ring that makes you think long and hard about a diamond purchase.
