Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys.
Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not
discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good
resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against
everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and
therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
· Remove jewelry before bathing, swimming, washing hands, putting on make-up, lotions, perfumes, and/or working with household chemicals, cleaners, or acidic liquids.
· Do not clean plated jewelry in an ultrasonic cleaner or in silver cleaning solutions, as it could completely remove the plating finish from your item.
· Ensure your jewelry item is thoroughly dry before storing. Moisture in an enclosed space can increase tarnishing.
· Store your plated jewelry in a jewelry box lined with felt or anti-tarnish material. Items should not be stacked as this may cause damage to the plating surface.
· Do not use excessive pressure when cleaning with a polishing cloth or soft brush, as this may cause damage to the plating.
· Over time your plated items will need to be re-plated. Contact your local jeweler for information on plating services.
Cubic zirconia is the most readily available, inexpensive and brilliant
simulated diamond on the market today. Cubic zirconia does occur naturally in
small quantities, but all of the cubic zirconia on the market is produced in a
laboratory.
On the Mohs Scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, cubic zirconia is an 8.0 to 8.5. It is important to understand that hardness is not necessarily related to durability. Even though diamond is the hardest mineral (10.0 on the Mohs Scale), it can still be chipped or broken.
The only ways to tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamond are by use of a thermal probe, by weighing the loose stone or by microscopic examination of surface features and inclusions. Cubic zirconia weighs approximately 65% more than diamond. Therefore, while a 6.25 mm round diamond weighs about 1.00 carat, the same size cubic zirconia weighs about 1.65 carats. If you know the weight of a cubic zirconia, you can figure out the diamond weight equivalent by multiplying the cubic zirconia weight by 0.6, or 60%.
Few natural diamonds on the market today are perfectly cut, and those that are cost much more than the usual diamond. Unleashing the fire, beauty and brilliance of a stone depends on its precise cut. Simulated diamonds are an excellent balance between quality, beauty and price.
