Dreamy cushion cut travel rings that sparkle like diamonds (over 3 carats / under US$100)

I love big rings and I cannot lie! Especially chunky travel rings with 5-10 carats crushed ice CZ dazzling like diamonds. They’re glittery, fun to look at, and priced well enough to be replaceable. Not everyone likes these types of rings, but I sure do! So this article is for those who also enjoy owning these not-so-little little dazzlers.

“BIG GIRLS NEED BIG DIAMONDS” – Elizabeth Taylor

I appreciate natural diamonds, specifically details of cutting, faceting and extraordinary gems. Attending antique jewellery exhibits are a continued passion. I especially enjoy Edwardian era design.

Yet in daily life, I want to enjoy the sparkle of a delicious crushed ice cut without the prohibitive price tag. So welcome : the Travel Ring. A cubic zirconia ring styled like a diamond, but made with affordable materials.

I have a lot of travel rings and enjoy the sparkle combined with the freedom of wear. I wear them to the beach, concerts and other occasions. Without worry that the stone may get lost or fall out during applause.
You can see me wearing some on instagram.
