Bella Birthstone Engagement Ring in Blue

Highlights

• Blue cubic zirconia gives the engagement design its defining color.
• Prong settings leave the sides of cubic zirconia open to light rather than enclosing them in a closed setting.

Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is laboratory-grown and cut to the facet proportions used for fine gemstones, returning light the same way.
• The piece is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass), with the plating as the surface a wearer sees and touches.
• On rings that rub daily, the plating can wear through over years of wear and may be re-plated by a jeweller.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ring solid or plated?

The ring is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass), so it has a plated surface rather than solid precious metal. A base-metal alloy provides shape and weight, while the surface a wearer sees and touches is the plating rather than the alloy.

What does the 6 Mm stone measurement refer to?

It identifies the listed cubic zirconia stone size. The ring also has 0.88 ct total stone weight. Its round cubic zirconia is set in prongs, which grip a stone at a few points and leave the rest open to light.

How to Care for Your Bella Birthstone Engagement Ring in Blue

1. Clean the rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) piece with soap, water, and a soft cloth.
2. Avoid polishing compounds and dips, which can thin the plating.
3. Ask a jeweller to re-plate the piece if its plating wears through over years of wear.
