Good to Know

• The total stone weight of 5.5 ct across round cubic zirconia stones gives visible sparkle around the hoop.
• The prong setting exposes more of each stone's surface to light than a closed setting would.
• The lead free alloy base means the piece is formulated without a metal commonly restricted in jewelry.
• The 18K gold plating is a surface layer over brass, not solid gold, so it will wear gradually with use.
• No stone clarity or color grade is provided for the cubic zirconia stones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are these hoop earrings made of?

The earrings are made of a lead free alloy (brass) base with a 18K gold plated finish. The plating gives the warm color of gold, and since it is plated rather than solid gold, the finish will wear gradually with use over time.

How many stones are set in these earrings and what is the total weight?

The earrings hold round cubic zirconia stones set in prongs around the hoop, roughly 14 stones in total. Together the stones carry a total stone weight of 5.5 ct, with each individual stone measuring 4 mm.

How do these earrings close and stay secure?

The earrings use a hinge with notched post backing. This is a standard earring closure that keeps the hoop in place at the earlobe.

How should I care for the plating and stones on these earrings?

Because the earrings have a gold plated finish over brass, it is best to keep them away from moisture and harsh chemicals that could wear the plating faster. Wiping the cubic zirconia stones gently helps keep them catching light clearly.

How to Care for Your 18k Gold Plated Eternity Hoop Earrings

1. Wipe the piece with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue.
2. Store it away from moisture in a closed pouch or box to protect the 18K gold plating.
3. Remove it before swimming, bathing, or applying lotions and perfumes.
4. Avoid rubbing the surface with abrasive materials that could wear through the plating.
5. Clean the cubic zirconia stones gently with a soft brush to keep them free of buildup.
