Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ring solid rhodium?

The ring is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass), so the bright white rhodium finish is a surface layer over the base metal rather than solid rhodium. Rhodium is a highly reflective member of the platinum family and helps shield the metal underneath from wear.

What does the 2 (mm) stone size refer to?

The 2 (mm) measurement refers to one individual cubic zirconia accent stone, not the overall ring. The piece has 3 ct total stone weight across its cubic zirconia stones and includes both baguette and round cuts held in prong settings.

What do the prong settings do?

Prongs grip a stone at a few points while leaving the rest open. Compared with a closed setting, this allows more light to reach the sides of the cubic zirconia. The ring uses prongs for its baguette- and round-cut aqua cubic zirconia stones.

How to Care for Your Chrisalee 3ct Aqua CZ Rhodium Classic Ring

1. Clean the piece with soap, water, and a soft cloth.
2. Avoid polishing compounds and dips, which can thin the rhodium-plated layer.
3. Have a jeweller re-plate the piece if the plating wears through after years of wear.
