Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the piece made from?

The piece is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass). The alloy provides the underlying form, while rhodium plating is the surface finish. Rhodium is a bright white, highly reflective member of the platinum family.

How are the stones set, and what does their carat weight refer to?

The round cubic zirconia stones are pave set. The 0.18 ct figure is the total stone weight across all the stones, rather than the weight of a single stone. Pave setting holds many small stones close together with tiny beads of metal.

Where does the chain length sit, and how does it fasten?

The 16 Inch chain is a choker length on most adults, sitting at the base of the neck. Its 2 Inch Extender is a short length of chain at the lobster clasp that allows the same necklace to be worn at more than one length. A lobster clasp closes with a sprung lever.

How to Care for Your Simple Rhodium Plated Cross Pendant

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