Cubic Zirconia Goldtone Finish Cross Earrings

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are these earrings made of?

The Cubic Zirconia Goldtone Finish Cross Earrings are made from a lead-free alloy (brass) base with a goldtone finish plated over it. The gold color comes entirely from the plating layer, not from solid gold underneath.

What kind of stones do these earrings use, and how many carats?

The piece features emerald-cut cubic zirconia set in prongs, totaling 0.5 ct across the pair. Cubic zirconia is cut to the same facet proportions as fine gemstones, so it reflects light in a similar way.

What type of earring backing do these have?

They use lever backs, a secure closure style that stays in place once fastened.

What style is this piece, and who is it designed for?

It is designed in a classic style for women. The cross motif and prong-set cubic zirconia give it a straightforward, familiar look rather than an ornate or modern one.

How to Care for Your Cubic Zirconia Goldtone Finish Cross Earrings

1. Remove the earrings before showering, swimming, or applying lotions and perfumes, since the goldtone finish is a plating layer.
2. Wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue.
3. Store the earrings separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratching the plated surface.
4. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the cubic zirconia stones with abrasive materials.
5. Keep the piece away from harsh chemicals, including household cleaners, which can wear down plating over time.
