Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the pendant made from?

Its base is lead free alloy (brass), with rhodium plating at the surface rather than solid rhodium. Rhodium provides a bright white, reflective finish and helps shield the metal underneath from wear.

How does the prong setting affect the cubic zirconia?

Round cubic zirconia is prong set. A prong setting grips each stone at a few points rather than enclosing it in a closed setting, leaving the rest open so light can reach it from the sides more freely.

How does the chain and clasp work?

The pendant is on a 16 Inch snake chain with a 2 Inch extender. A 16 Inch chain is choker length on most adults, sitting at the base of the neck. Its lobster clasp closes with a sprung lever and requires a little dexterity to fasten.

How to Care for Your Shimmery Circlet Pendant

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) layer.
