Halo Solitaire Pear Engagement Ring

Highlights

• Halo and pear shapes define the bridal engagement-ring design.
• The prong setting leaves the stone open to side light.

Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is laboratory-grown and returns light through facets cut to proportions used for fine gemstones.
• A prong setting leaves a stone more open to side light than a closed setting.
• The surface layer can wear through over years of wear, and a jeweller can re-plate the piece.
• Polishing compounds and dips can thin the surface layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ring solid or plated?

The ring is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass). It is a surface layer over the base-metal alloy, which gives the piece shape and weight. The surface is bright white, highly reflective, resists tarnish, and shields the metal underneath from wear.

How does the prong setting work?

Prong settings hold a stone at a few points, leaving the rest open so light can reach it from the sides. On this ring, cubic zirconia has a Pear cut, with 3 ct total stone weight and a 9 Mm X 6 Mm stone size.

Which ring sizes are offered?

The ring is available in Size 10, Size 5, Size 6, Size 7, Size 8, and Size 9. These are the listed sizes for the piece; the 9 Mm X 6 Mm measurement refers to stone size rather than ring size.

How to Care for Your Halo Solitaire Pear Engagement Ring

1. Clean the rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) piece with soap, water, and a soft cloth.
2. Avoid polishing compounds and dips because they can thin the surface layer.
3. Have a jeweller re-plate the piece if the surface layer wears through over years of wear.
