Base metal

Solid 925 sterling silver is both hypoallergenic and replateable to extend its life.

Cubic zirconia

Cubic zirconia stones produce rainbow flashes but are less brilliant than diamond and can scratch if wiped dry.

Sizing

The extender chain fits wrists from roughly 16–17 cm to the full 19.5 cm.

Visual sparkle

Cubic zirconia’s dispersion produces rainbow fire, most vivid under artificial light.

Care

Cubic zirconia’s sparkle can be maintained by regular cleaning but is susceptible to micro-scratching from dust.

Hypoallergenic

925 sterling silver core stays hypoallergenic after plating wears off.

Replating

Professional replating restores 14k gold finish for $20–$60.

Cleaning

Cloudy CZ is reversible; clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush.

Durability

Quartz dust can micro-scratch CZ; gold plating is replatable for $20–$60.

Fit range

Adjustable extender chain fits wrists 16–19.5 cm.

Gold plating thickness and everyday wear

• The 925 sterling silver core under the gold layer is hypoallergenic compared to brass or nickel alloys, so even as the plating thins, the exposed silver is unlikely to irritate sensitive skin, and the solid silver allows a jeweler to replate the bracelet for $20–$60, effectively renewing its gold finish.

Cubic zirconia brilliance and daily radiance

• Cubic zirconia's higher optical dispersion than diamond causes it to separate white light into visible spectral colors, giving the bracelet a pronounced rainbow-like fire that reads as lively and attention-grabbing—especially under direct artificial light or in evening settings.
• Cubic zirconia sparkles most vividly under artificial or focused lighting, but in natural sunlight it can appear slightly less vibrant—a directional brilliance that makes the bracelet a particularly striking choice for indoor gatherings, evening wear, and occasions where lighting is controlled.
• Most dullness on cubic zirconia comes from a film of skin oil, lotion, and soap that coats the stone, which is fully reversible—soaking the bracelet in warm soapy water and gently brushing restores original sparkle; only when cleaning no longer brings back crispness should the loss of brilliance be attributed to permanent surface wear.
• At 8.5 on the Mohs scale, cubic zirconia is hard enough to resist scratches from most everyday objects, but fine quartz particles in dust (hardness 7) can cause micro-scratches when the bracelet is wiped over time, gradually softening facet reflections and reducing crispness—a natural wear characteristic that explains why long-worn CZ pieces can appear less brilliant than new.
• Cubic zirconia has a refractive index of 2.176, which means less white light return than diamond, but its stronger dispersion—often producing more colorful flashes—offsets this by giving the bracelet a lively, fire-heavy sparkle that reads as distinctly radiant at a glance.
