Good to Know

• The matte silvertone finish plated over rhodium plated gives a soft, brushed look rather than a bright shine.
• The prong setting leaves the cubic zirconia's sides open, letting light reach it from more angles.
• The 2 inch extender lets the 16 inch chain be worn at more than one length.
• As a plated piece, the surface is the plating rather than a solid precious metal, so it should be treated gently.
• The lobster clasp asks for a little dexterity to fasten compared to simpler clasp styles.
