The History
This piece is made with designer craftsmanship and quality.
Rhodium plated silver is fine or sterling silver that is polished and dipped in rhodium for a bright finish similar to white gold. Rhodium plating is used to add beauty to a piece and to prevent tarnish from forming on the silver.
Rubies are one of the four precious gemstones and are prized for their pink to blood red colors. The most valued hue of ruby is called blood-red, or pigeon blood, for the bright, rich hue it exhibits. The color of a ruby comes from the element chromium. Rubies have adorned royal and religious jewelry for centuries and were especially esteemed in Asian countries like China and India, where they were thought to bring good fortune. Rubies are graded by color, clarity, cut, and carat. Rubies are often also evaluated based on their geographic origin.
Discovered in 1892, Cubic zirconia (CZ) is the cubic crystalline form of zirconium oxide. It wasn’t until the 1930’s that scientist discovered how to melt and create a refractory substance that CZ was crafted into diamond-simulating stones for jewelry. The synthesized material is hard, optically flawless, usually colorless, and much less expensive than a natural diamond, which makes it a great alternative in rings, bracelets and other types of jewelry.
