Frequently Asked Questions

Is the pendant solid metal or plated?

It is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass), meaning a plated surface finish covers the underlying base metal. The plating is highly reflective, resists tarnish, and shields the metal underneath from wear. It is not described as a solid precious-metal piece.

How are the stones cut and set?

Amethyst-colored cubic zirconia appears in both oval and round cuts. The pendant uses bezel and prong settings; a bezel surrounds a stone edge with metal, while prongs hold a stone at a few points and leave more of it open to light.

How does the chain fasten?

It has a 16 Inch + 2 Inch Extender link chain and a lobster clasp. A link chain uses interlocking loops for an even drape, while the clasp closes with a sprung lever and requires a little dexterity to fasten by hand.

How to Care for Your Majestic Amethyst Cubic Zirconia Pendant

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