Classic Emerald Rhodium Engagement Ring

Highlights

• Prongs leave more of the cubic zirconia open to light than a closed setting allows.
• A classic bridal design pairs genuine emerald-colored cubic zirconia with a trillion cut.

Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is laboratory-grown and cut to facet proportions used for fine gemstones.
• Rhodium plating gives the lead-free alloy (brass) base a bright white, reflective surface.
• The plating can wear through over years of wear on rings that rub daily.
• Polishing compounds and dips can thin the plated layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ring solid rhodium?

The ring is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass), rather than solid rhodium. This finish creates a bright white, reflective surface over its base. The surface a wearer sees and touches is the finish rather than the base underneath.

What does the 9mm stone measurement refer to?

The 9mm measurement refers to genuine emerald-colored cubic zirconia used in the ring. The cubic zirconia is trillion cut and held in prongs. A prong setting grips stone at a few points, leaving the rest open so light can reach it from the sides.

How to Care for Your Classic Emerald Rhodium Engagement Ring

1. Clean the piece with soap, water, and a soft cloth.
2. Avoid polishing compounds and dips, which can thin the rhodium plating.
3. Have a jeweller restore the rhodium plating if it wears through over years of wear.
