December 2004
featuring Garden State, shopping sprees and a post-religious Christmas. This was mainly about zirconia rings and other jewelry made from cz, a synthetic gemstone that is hard, optically flawless, and looks like diamonds. Cubic zirconia sparkles brighter than crystal(think diamonds) and is harder than most gems, making it very durable. It also comes in many beautiful colors, plus jewelry made with it is far more reasonably prised compared to actual diamonds the same size. I ended up buying a lot of cz jewelry that year for holiday gifts.
