Ruby Cubic Zirconia Studded Earrings

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are these earrings made of?

The earrings are built on a lead-free alloy (brass) base that is rhodium plated, giving them a bright white surface finish. The plating sits over the alloy rather than being solid metal throughout.

What is the total carat weight of the stones?

The stones on the earrings carry a total stone weight of 6 ct across the pair. Each round, ruby-colored cubic zirconia measures 9.5 mm and sits in a prong setting.

How do these earrings close or fasten?

The earrings use a butterfly post backing, a common stud closure that slides onto the post and holds against the earlobe. This backing type is straightforward to put on and take off.

How should I store or clean these earrings?

Because the earrings are rhodium plated over a lead-free alloy, they should be kept dry and wiped gently with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning that could wear through the plating over time.

How to Care for Your Ruby Cubic Zirconia Studded Earrings

1. Wipe the piece gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue.
2. Store it in a dry place away from moisture to protect the rhodium plating.
3. Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, and household chemicals, which can wear down the plating.
4. Remove the earrings before swimming, bathing, or exercising to limit exposure to water and sweat.
5. Keep the piece separate from other jewelry to prevent scratching the plated surface.
