Here is the link,
it says it is ornate rhodium-plated ring with Aurora Borealis, Silver Shade, White Opal, White Alabaster and clear crystals set in Pointiage. Many of the crystals are antique heart-cut.
Doea anyone know what that means lol??
Thanks all
Totally disagree with the first two answers – that is beautiful! It’s rhodium plated, which means it certainly WON’T make your finger go green – rhodium is an extremely precious metal and most diamond rings (my own engagement and eternity rings included) have the stone setting plated in rhodium. My rings are platinum yet they still plate the setting in rhodium because it’s such a long lasting ‘silver’ colour. I’d be thrilled to bits to own that ring!
Edit: here’s what Wikipedia has to say about rhodium: Rhodium is a chemical element with the symbol Rh and atomic number 45. A rare, silvery-white hard transition metal and a member of the platinum group, rhodium is found in platinum ores and is used in alloys with platinum and as a catalyst. It is usually the most expensive precious metal.
