Aqua Cushion Engagement Ring

Highlights

• Aqua colour and a cushion cut define the ring’s design.

Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is laboratory-grown and returns light in the same way as fine gemstones.
• A lead-free alloy is formulated without lead.
• Rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) has a surface layer that may wear through after years of wear.
• Polishing compounds and dips can thin the plated surface layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the ring made from?

The ring is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass). Its plating is the surface layer over the base metal, while a base-metal alloy gives a piece its shape and weight. The finish is bright white and reflective.

What does the 12 Mm stone measurement refer to?

The 12 Mm measurement is associated with cushion-cut, simulated aqua cubic zirconia. The ring has 8.83 ct total stone weight. Cubic zirconia is laboratory-grown and cut to the facet proportions used for fine gemstones, so it returns light the same way.

How to Care for Your Aqua Cushion Engagement Ring

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 plated surface layer.
3. Have a jeweller re-plate the piece if years of wear wear through the surface layer.
