Baguette Huggie Earrings

Highlights

• Channel setting holds the baguette-cut cubic zirconia in a groove between metal walls, without prongs to catch on clothing.
• Lever back fastening complements the huggie earring design.

Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is a laboratory-grown stone cut to facet proportions used for fine gemstones, so it returns light in the same way.
• The rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) finish is a surface layer, and polishing compounds or dips can thin it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the metal made from?

The earrings are rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass). The lead-free alloy forms the base, while rhodium is a bright white, reflective surface finish from the platinum family. This construction distinguishes the base metal from the plating visible at the surface of the piece.

What does the 2.6 (mm) X 2.6 (mm) measurement refer to?

The 2.6 (mm) X 2.6 (mm) measurement identifies one accent stone, rather than the combined stones. Each cubic zirconia is baguette cut and held in a channel setting, while 0.9 ct is the total stone weight across the earrings as a whole.

How to Care for Your Baguette Huggie Earrings

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