This ring is an absolute classic! The center stone is a whopping 5 carat simulated size set on rhodium prongs. The side shoulders boast another 2.5 carats worth of stones to make a 7.5 total carat weight cubic zirconia ring. Our genuine rhodium finish is achieved using an electroplating process that coats the item with heavy layers of rhodium a close cousin to platinum which gives our jewelry a platinum luster.
