Faux jewelry is becoming more and more popular- especially cubic zirconia rings. There are many reasons women- including brides- are leaning more towards the synthetic over the real...

• Women that are not engaged like to wear a ring while out on the town, in order to discourage unwanted advances from the opposite sex.
• Many couples are forgoing the real-deal in order to save cash for a home, their wedding, or the honeymoon.

and the most important reason...

• Jewelers and travel agents alike recommend that brides leave their real diamond ring safe at home for the honeymoon. Whether you're scuba diving or site seeing, there are too many opportunities for your ring to be lost, stolen, or damaged.
