Frequently Asked Questions

Is the metal solid or plated?

The studs are rhodium plated over .925 sterling silver. This bright white, reflective finish resists tarnish and shields the metal underneath from wear.

What do the listed stone measurements refer to?

The 7 (mm) X 7 (mm) measurement refers to one cubic zirconia accent stone. The studs contain more than one stone, and their 3 ct is the total stone weight across all of the cubic zirconia rather than the weight of one stone.

How does a prong setting relate to the stones?

A prong setting grips a stone at a few points and leaves the remainder open, allowing light to reach it from the sides. Here, round cubic zirconia uses prong settings, with 7 (mm) X 7 (mm) referring to one accent stone.
