Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is laboratory-grown and cut to facet proportions used for fine gemstones.

• 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), so it has a plated surface over its base metal rather than a solid construction of the plated finish. The base material provides the ring’s shape and weight, while the surface a wearer sees is the plating.

What do the listed stone sizes refer to?

The cubic zirconia has 9mm & .8mm stone sizes and cushion and round cuts. Those measurements refer to stones on the ring, while 3 ct is the total carat weight for the piece. The cubic zirconia is clear and held in prong settings.

How is the cubic zirconia set?

The clear cubic zirconia is prong set. A prong setting grips a stone at a few points and leaves the remaining area open, allowing more side light than a closed setting. The ring’s cubic zirconia has 3 ct total carat weight.
