Cubic Zirconia Stones

Cubic zirconia (CZ) stones are renowned for their exceptional clarity and brilliance, making them a popular choice for fine jewelry. Precision-cut and highly reflective, CZ stones closely resemble the appearance of natural diamonds, offering a luxurious look at a more accessible price.

Known for their durability, cubic zirconia stones are scratch-resistant and maintain their sparkle over time, making them ideal for both everyday wear and special occasions. However, over time, CZ stones can become cloudy due to chemical residue.

How to Care for CZ Jewelry:

Keep your CZ jewelry clean and avoid exposure to chemicals or extreme temperatures.
Remove jewelry before applying lotions, perfumes, or hairsprays to prevent residue buildup.
Store your pieces in a dry place to preserve their brilliance.

Gold and Rhodium-Plated Brass Jewelry

Our jewelry combines premium materials with timeless finishes, delivering elegance at an accessible price.

14K Gold-Plated Brass: A high-quality brass base is electroplated with a thin layer of 14k gold, creating a rich golden finish that adds sophistication to any look. This combination offers the beauty of gold without the premium cost.
Rhodium-Plated Brass: Rhodium, a rare and durable metal from the platinum family, gives the brass base a brilliant silvery-white sheen. Rhodium's resistance to tarnish and corrosion ensures lasting shine and elegance.

Both finishes enhance our designs with a luxurious appearance, perfect for any occasion.

Will Brass-Based Jewelry Tarnish?

Brass-based jewelry, including pieces plated with 14K gold or rhodium, is naturally prone to tarnishing over time. Tarnishing occurs when the jewelry comes into contact with oils, acids, air, and moisture, which react with the metal beneath the plating. Over time, this can cause the plating to wear down, eventually leading to tarnishing.

Factors such as skin acidity, humidity, and environmental exposure can contribute to this process. While tarnishing is unavoidable, you can take steps to slow it down and keep your jewelry looking its best.

Will Brass Turn My Skin Green?

Yes, it’s possible, depending on your skin type. Green staining happens when brass reacts with your skin, and it can occur on areas like fingers, neck, and wrists—especially where sweat, lotions, or creams are present.

This reaction is caused by chemicals from soaps, creams, or your skin’s natural acidity oxidizing the metal. People with higher skin acidity or sensitivities to brass or copper are more prone to this effect.

Tips to Minimize Green Staining:

Avoid wearing jewelry during activities that cause excessive sweating.
Keep your jewelry dry and clean.
Apply lotions or perfumes before putting on your jewelry to limit direct contact with the metal.
