Graduated Cubic Zirconia Necklace

Highlights

• Graduated round cubic zirconia gives the classic design its defining progression.
• Prong settings leave much of each stone open for side light.

Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is laboratory-grown and cut to facet proportions used for fine gemstones.
• The rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) finish is a surface layer over the alloy base.
• Polishing compounds and dips can thin the plating layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the piece solid rhodium or plated?

The piece is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass), rather than solid rhodium. This plating is a surface finish over the alloy base, so it is the visible surface. The lead-free alloy is formulated without lead, a metal restricted in jewelry by law.

Where does the 18 inch length sit?

The piece has an 18 inch length. An 18 inch chain is the most common necklace length and sits at about the collarbone on most adults. It fastens with a box clasp, and the graduated design uses round cubic zirconia in prong settings.

How to Care for Your Graduated Cubic Zirconia Necklace

1. Clean the rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) surface with soap, water, and a soft cloth.
2. Avoid polishing compounds and dips on the rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) surface, as they can thin the plating layer.
