Royal Wedding Sapphire Earrings

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are the Royal Wedding Earrings made of?

The earrings are made of rhodium plated lead free alloy (brass). The rhodium plating sits over the base metal and gives a bright white finish that also resists tarnish, since the plating - not the alloy underneath - is what you see and touch.

What size are the stones, and are they real gemstones?

The stones are blue-toned cubic zirconia, each measuring 8mm x 6mm and totaling 2.2 ct across both earrings. They are set in a prong setting that leaves more of the stone open to light than a closed setting would.

How do I care for the earrings?

Because the earrings are rhodium plated over lead free alloy, they should be kept away from moisture, chemicals, and abrasive contact to protect the plating. Store them separately and wipe them gently with a soft cloth after wear.

What kind of backing do the earrings use?

The earrings use a butterfly post backing, which is a simple, secure style that pushes onto the post at the back of the earring. This backing keeps the earrings straightforward to put on and take off.

How to Care for Your Royal Wedding Sapphire Earrings

1. Wipe the piece gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue.
2. Store it away from other jewelry to prevent scratching the rhodium plating.
3. Keep it away from water, perfume, and household chemicals, which can wear down the plating over time.
4. Remove the earrings before swimming, bathing, or exercising to protect the finish.
5. Avoid rubbing the cubic zirconia stones with abrasive materials that could dull their surface.
