Floral Nouveau Ring

Highlights

• The floral nouveau design uses round Cats Eye and cubic zirconia in prongs.
• Prong settings leave more of each stone open to light than a closed setting.

Good to Know

• The ring is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass), a base formulated without lead.
• Cats Eye can show a moving band of light across its dome, an effect called chatoyancy.
• The plating can wear through over years of wear on a ring that rubs daily.
• Polishing compounds and dips can thin the plating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the ring made from?

The ring is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass). The alloy forms the base, while the rhodium plating creates the surface finish. Rhodium is a bright white, reflective member of the platinum family, and the plating helps shield the metal underneath from wear.

Which sizes are offered?

The ring is offered in Size 10, Size 5, Size 6, Size 7, Size 8 and Size 9. Its 4.7 Mm width gives an additional dimension to consider alongside the listed size options when comparing this piece with another ring.

What stones are used in the ring?

The piece combines Cats Eye with cubic zirconia, both described with a round cut and prong setting. A cat's eye stone can show a single bright band that appears to move across its dome as it is turned in the light.

How to Care for Your Floral Nouveau Ring

1. Clean the rhodium plating with soap, water, and a soft cloth.
2. Avoid polishing compounds and dips, which can thin the plating.
3. Consult a jeweller about re-plating if the surface wears through over years of wear.
