Solitaire-style rings are a traditional and timeless classic. Many Cubic Zirconia engagement rings feature a single CZ stone, or solitaire, in a prong setting.

Solitaire rings are designed to elevate the stone off the ring, thus making it appear larger and allowing more light to enter the Cubic Zirconia.

The CZ stone is fitted into a metal basket and secured with 3 to 6 prongs. There are special prong styles available such as Belcher, Fishtail, and Tiffany. Extra prongs add security for the Cubic Zirconia and can make the stone look slightly larger.

Modern-day fake diamonds such as cubic zirconia are hard to tell from the real thing and can offer you an alternative to high-priced diamond jewelry. Check out some of the links below if you may be interested in buying cubic zirconia jewelry
