that state’s laws with regards to engagement rings, but the big question for our wholesale customers is not to give one, but should you stock them?

Violet Octagon Cubic Zirconia

In Minnesota, an engagement ring is considered to be “a conditional gift” that is dependent on the finalization of a marriage. In the event that a marriage does not take place, according to state law, the person who received the ring is supposed to return the ring to the person that supplied it. Should the ring not be returned, “the giver may file a civil action against the recipient.”

We all know that the law is one thing and social custom is another. In the eyes of the law, the fact that the marriage did not take place is sufficient reason for the return of an engagement ring. However, we all know that whether or not this will happen heavily depends on the individuals involved and the exact circumstances that led to them not actually getting married.

The lawyer offered a solution for people he refers to as “creative risk-takers”: one could have a ring made from loose cubic zirconia and “After the wedding, you reveal the true character of the ring, and select a Saturday afternoon to head over to the jewelry store and “upgrade.”

This is a new twist on commitment for engaged and newly married couples; hold back the real gem until you know the commitment is real. Jewelers and designers may want to consider this trend and create rings using our wholesale loose cubic zirconia and keep them on hand for the commitment-sensitive couple. When you need stock, you can rely on PehnecGems as your reliable source for loose cubic zirconia and lab created gems.

Whether you have a personal story, heard one from a friend, or saw something on a television show or in a movie, you may already know by now that combining jewelry with food or beverages is not always a good idea.

A Fox News affiliate reported that a charity event in Florida offered attendees the chance to win a one-carat diamond worth $5,000. People paid $20 for a flute of champagne in the hopes that their glass would contain the diamond. There was indeed a diamond in 1 of 400 champagne flutes; the other 399 contained loose cubic zirconia.

An eighty-year-old woman at the event swallowed the diamond. She said that she drank a little of her champagne because she didn’t want to reach her finger down into the glass to see if she had won the diamond. She was laughing with other attendees when she realized that she had swallowed the jewel. She felt quite embarrassed about having to confess to what happened but event organizers were in panic because the diamond was not to be found. The woman later had a colonoscopy to remove the sought-after diamond—so her investment to win the diamond ending up being more than the initial $20 she spent for the champagne flute.

While we have mentioned that it can be risky to combine jewelry with food and drink, there is nothing wrong with being adventurous and creating a fun attention getting promotion to bring in customers to your store. PehnecGems offers wholesale loose cubic zirconia and other wholesale lab created gems of the highest quality.
