Is cubic zirconia a good stand-in for a diamond?

It looks bright and clear and costs far less, but it is softer and can scratch or cloud over years of daily wear. For occasional wear or a statement piece it holds up well; for a lifetime of daily wear, expect it to show age sooner than a diamond.

How does a 12mm cigar band fit?

A 12mm band is wide, so it covers much of the finger and can feel tight compared with a slim ring. Many shoppers size up for wide bands, and wide bands are difficult to resize later.

What is the center stone?

One marquise-cut cubic zirconia measuring 14x7mm, held in a prong setting. The listing describes it as a 3 carat equivalent.

What metals can I choose?

Platinum, 14k white gold or 14k yellow gold. All three are durable precious metals; platinum is the densest and heaviest of the three.

Will the prongs catch on things?

Marquise stones have pointed ends, and prongs at those tips can snag hair and knitwear. Check the prongs periodically and have a jeweler tighten them if they loosen.

Is it made in the USA?

Yes, the ring is made in the USA.

Our take on the Ziamond Carat Cubic Zirconia Wide Cigar Band Style Engagement Ring

A wide 12mm cigar-band style ring from Ziamond, set with a single 14x7mm marquise-cut cubic zirconia in a prong setting. It is made in the USA in your choice of platinum, 14k white gold or 14k yellow gold. The broad band and large marquise stone give it a bold, vintage-inspired look that stands apart from slim solitaire engagement rings. It suits shoppers who want a statement ring or a diamond alternative and accept the trade-offs of a wide band and a synthetic stone.
