Cubic Zirconia Bling Cross Pendant

Highlights

• Prong settings leave the round cubic zirconia open around much of each stone’s surface.
• The cross motif defines the pendant’s design.
• The extender allows the necklace to be worn at more than one length.

Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is laboratory-grown and returns light through facets cut to fine-gemstone proportions.
• The link chain uses identical interlocking loops, which makes it easy to repair and gives an even drape.
• The rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) finish is a surface layer, and polishing compounds and dips can thin it.
• A lobster clasp uses a sprung lever and takes a little dexterity to fasten.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the pendant made from?

The pendant is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass). Its lead free alloy base is formulated without lead. A base-metal alloy gives jewelry shape and weight, while the plating is normally the surface seen and touched rather than the underlying alloy.

What do the stone size and total stone weight describe?

The round cubic zirconia is set in prongs. The 2 (mm) measurement identifies one accent stone, while 0.34 ct is the total stone weight across the stones in the pendant. Prongs grip a stone at a few points and leave the rest open, allowing light to reach it from the sides.

How does the chain fasten and change length?

The pendant hangs from a 15 Inch link chain with a 2 Inch Extender and lobster clasp. An extender is a short chain section at the clasp that allows more than one length, while a link chain uses interlocking loops for an even drape and can be repaired easily.

How to Care for Your Cubic Zirconia Bling Cross Pendant

1. Clean the piece with soap, water, and a soft cloth.
2. Avoid polishing compounds and dips, which can thin the plating on the piece.
