2.3CT Pink Ice and Aqua CZ Rhodium Ring

Highlights

• Pink and aqua cubic zirconia give the classic design a two-color look.
• The pave-set surface reads as continuous sparkle rather than as separate stones.

Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is laboratory-grown and cut to facet proportions used for fine gemstones, so it returns light in a similar way.
• Lead free alloy is formulated without lead, a metal restricted in jewelry by law.
• The rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) surface layer can wear through over years of daily rubbing, and a jeweller can re-plate it.
• Polishing compounds and dips can thin the surface layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ring made from?

The ring is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass), meaning a surface layer of rhodium covers its brass base rather than the ring being solid rhodium. A base-metal alloy gives a piece shape and weight, while the visible surface is the plating.

What does the 8mm stone size refer to?

The 8mm measurement is the listed stone size for the round cubic zirconia used in the ring. The piece is pave set, a setting type that holds many small stones close together with tiny beads of metal, so the surface reads as continuous sparkle rather than separate stones.

How to Care for Your 2.3CT Pink Ice and Aqua CZ Rhodium Ring

1. Clean the rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) surface with soap, water, and a soft cloth.
2. Avoid polishing compounds and dips because they can thin the surface layer.
3. Ask a jeweller about re-plating if years of daily rubbing wear through the surface layer.
