Review on 💍 2CT Round Brilliant Cubic Zirconia CZ Sterling Silver Wedding Engagement Ring - Sizes 4-11 by Carron Goebel

Right out of the box the ring was very nice and appears to be of good quality. HOWEVER, I've studied a lot of cubic zirconia and many people have recommended oven baking the ring to make it "more realistic". I don't think it's necessary for this ring (although the sides of the stone were a bit cloudy and the baking has definitely gotten rid of) but I did it for my own pleasure. I washed the ring (make sure there were no fingerprints on the stone), placed it on an aluminum tray and placed it in the oven (while it was off), then set the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and left the ring preheat. With the oven (if you don't, chances are your stone will crack) I left it there for 2 hours. After 2 hours I turned off the oven and let it cool for another 2 hours (again, without taking it out, let it cool gradually in the oven). And BAMM! I noticed a color difference but not sure if you can capture the difference on camera. The before and after post was done with different lighting (sorry!) so please bear with me, but I REALLY believe it affected the clarity and overall brilliance of the stone. I actually plan to do it again tomorrow! But overall I like the size and the look of the ring. As I said, you don't need to bake, the ring itself is very pretty, but if you're crazy like me, you should try it ;) I'm a size 6 and it fits perfectly! A little snug (but that's because I think I'm 6.5) but nothing that looks ridiculous as you can see for yourself.
