Eternity Hoop Earrings

Highlights

• Prong settings leave much of each round cubic zirconia open, allowing light to reach it from the sides.
• Rhodium plating gives the classic hoops a bright, reflective white finish.

Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is a laboratory-grown stone cut to the facet proportions used for fine gemstones.
• A lead-free alloy is formulated without lead.
• The rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) finish is a surface layer, and polishing compounds or dips can thin it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the piece solid or plated?

It is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass), so the visible surface is rhodium plating over the alloy base rather than solid rhodium. Rhodium is a bright white, highly reflective member of the platinum family, and its plating gives the piece a white finish.

What is the total stone weight?

The round cubic zirconia across the earrings has a total carat weight of 5.5 ct.

What does prong setting mean for these earrings?

Prong settings grip each cubic zirconia at a few points and leave the rest open. This allows more light to reach the stones from the sides than a closed setting allows.

How to Care for Your Eternity Hoop Earrings

1. Clean the rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) surface with soap, water, and a soft cloth.
2. Avoid polishing compounds and dips, which can thin the rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) finish.
