Highlights

• Two natural, untreated oval blue sapphires total 0.60 carats and are rated AAA for clarity.
• A checkerboard cut on each 3 x 5mm stone catches light from multiple facets.

Good to Know

• Natural, untreated sapphires with AAA clarity offer genuine gemstone character rather than treated stones.
• The 4-prong setting exposes more of each sapphire to light than a closed mount would.
• Rhodium plating gives the sterling silver a bright, reflective white finish.
• The rhodium plating sits over sterling silver rather than being solid precious metal, so it can wear thinner over time.
• Sterling silver darkens with air exposure and needs occasional polishing to stay bright.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are these earrings made of?

The earrings are crafted from rhodium plated .925 sterling silver, which gives the mounting a bright white finish over the sterling base. The plating is a layer over the silver, not a solid precious metal throughout.

What kind of sapphires are used and how are they set?

The earrings feature two natural, untreated oval blue sapphires with a checkerboard cut, rated AAA for clarity. Each stone is held in a 4-prong setting, and together they total 0.60 carats.

How do these earrings close, and how big are they?

The earrings use a push back closure and measure 0.197 x 0.138 x 0.118 in per the product dimensions. Each sapphire measures 3 x 5mm in an oval shape.

How should I care for these earrings?

The earrings should be wiped with a soft cloth to keep the rhodium plated silver bright and stored away from other jewelry to prevent scratching. Avoid harsh chemicals that can wear down the plating over time.

How to Care for Your Sterling Silver 0.60 Cttw Oval Blue Sapphire Solitaire Stud Earrings

1. Wipe the piece with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove oils and keep the rhodium plating bright.
2. Store it separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches from other jewelry.
3. Remove the earrings before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes, as harsh chemicals can wear down the rhodium plating.
4. Clean the sapphires gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly.
5. Avoid rubbing or abrasive cleaners directly on the plated surface to preserve the finish.
