Brilliant Engagement Ring

Highlights

• Prongs leave the Cushion cubic zirconia open at the sides, allowing more light to reach it than a closed setting allows.

Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is a laboratory-grown stone cut to the same facet proportions used for fine gemstones.
• Prongs allow more light to reach the Cushion cubic zirconia from the sides than a closed setting allows.
• Polishing compounds and dips can thin the surface of the rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass).
• On rings that rub daily, the finish can wear through over years of wear and a jeweller can re-plate it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ring solid or plated?

The ring is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass). The surface a wearer sees and touches is the rhodium plating, while the alloy forms the piece’s shape and weight. Rhodium is a bright white, highly reflective member of the platinum family.

What does the 12 Mm stone size refer to?

The Cushion cubic zirconia has a 12 Mm stone size and is held in prongs. A prong setting grips a stone at a few points and leaves the rest open, allowing more light to reach it from the sides than a closed setting allows.

Which sizes are available?

The ring is available in Size 10, Size 5, Size 6, Size 7, Size 8, and Size 9. Its band measures 2 Mm wide.

How to Care for Your Brilliant Engagement Ring

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