Rhodium Plated Zircon Vines Ring

Highlights

• A vine motif gives the ring a symbolic fashion direction.
• Prong settings leave more of the cubic zirconia open to side light than a closed setting.

Good to Know

• Cubic zirconia is a laboratory-grown stone cut to facet proportions used for fine gemstones.
• The lead-free alloy is formulated without lead.
• Rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass) is a surface finish over the alloy base and can wear through over years of wear.
• Polishing compounds and dips can thin the surface layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ring solid rhodium or plated?

It is rhodium plated over lead free alloy (brass), meaning the rhodium forms the surface finish over the alloy base rather than being solid rhodium. Rhodium is a bright white, highly reflective member of the platinum family, and the plating gives the surface a white finish.

What does the 1.6 Mm stone size describe?

The 1.6 Mm measurement is for one individual accent stone, rather than the combined stones on the ring. Green cubic zirconia is round and set in prongs, while 0.48 ct is the total stone weight across the stones in the piece.

Which sizes are offered?

The offered sizes are Size 10, Size 5, Size 6, Size 7, Size 8, and Size 9. They are individual listed options rather than a continuous size range, so only these specific sizes are offered for the ring in this design.

How to Care for Your Rhodium Plated Zircon Vines Ring

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