The same friends who worry about wearing silver jewelry also question the value of Cubic Zirconia. It is true that Cubic Zirconia is a manmade gemstone. But it is that very fact that makes it such a great gemstone for jewelry.
In this day and age, almost any gemstone you see in the store has been created or modified by man. Almost any ruby, sapphire, or emerald is manmade in a lab. Meanwhile, citrine and topaz, while having been mined from the earth, are irridated to improve their color. Cubic Zirconia is no different.
It is true that diamonds are naturally occurring, but it is almost impossible to get a clear white diamond. Most diamonds have some sort of yellowish cast. Also, affordable diamonds available in the stores have flaws. Also, fancy colored diamonds, like pink and blue, are nearly impossible to find, and no one but the most wealthy can even begin to afford them.
This is what makes Cubic Zirconias so wonderful. Since they are created, they are perfectly formed, with no flaws. And Cubic Zirconias can come in a wide variety of colors, all of which are clear, with no muddiness or yellowing. The white CZ's are brilliant and clear. The pinks, blues, and yellows are deep and purely colored stones. What's more, Cubic Zirconias actually have more flash than any diamond.
So, if you are looking for beautiful gemstone jewelry, consider Cubic Zirconia. It is both brilliant and affordable!

Why Silver?
Friends have asked me why would they want to wear silver jewelry. After all, silver is often seen as a “cheap” metal. After all, it doesn’t cost much and it’s prone to tarnishing, right?
I always tell them that they’re caught up in a bunch of myths about silver jewelry. Silver is really a great setting for elegant jewelry.
Myth #1: Silver is a “cheap” metal.
Truth: Silver is a precious metal, like gold and platinum.
The silver that is found in jewelry is mixed with other metals to make it stronger. But then again, so is gold and platinum. In fact, 14 kt gold is only about 58% gold, while 925 silver (the only type carried by Silver Poodle Jewelry) is made of 92.5% pure silver. So you are getting MUCH more silver in your silver earrings than you get gold in your gold earrings.
Myth #2: Silver won’t hold up to daily wear.
Truth: Silver is durable and is fine to wear daily.
Like any fine jewelry, it must be properly cared for to keep it beautiful for years. Any fine piece of jewelry should be stored in a jewelry box, preferably in its own pouch to protect it from moisture and scratches. All silver offered by Silver Poodle Jewelry is treated to resist tarnishing.
Myth #3: Silver is not as pretty as white gold or platinum.
Truth: Silver is extremely shiny and is capable of taking on a much higher polish than either white gold or platinum.
The truth is this. . .
Sterling silver is a beautiful metal for jewelry. The gleaming silver looks stunning against most skin tones, especially against dark or tanned skin. So don’t pay any attention to the naysayers. Silver is perfect for any look.
