RHODIUM PLATED SILVER MOTHER OF PEARL & CUBIC ZIRCONIA BRACELET

Check out this stunning bracelet, folks! It's a real beauty with its lustrous Mother of Pearl nestled in solid 925 Sterling Silver, coated in Rhodium to give it that elegant white Gold appearance. Crafted with great care, this piece has a weighty feel, tipping the scales at 3.8 Grams. Its length measures a perfect 7 inches.

Now, let me gush about the design for a moment because it truly speaks to me. It reminds me of the masterpiece known as the Great Wave off Kanagawa, infused with a modernist, jewel-studded twist. Can you envision it? The waves of creativity are flowing!

Interestingly, the moniker "Mother of Pearl" was actually bestowed upon the inner layer of a shell by none other than Queen Elizabeth I herself. This gem possesses remarkable resilience and durability, thanks to its intricate layered structure akin to a brickwork pattern. And those layers of nacre within it, oh my! They're responsible for that breathtaking iridescence we all adore. Nacre can be found in some of the most ancient lineages of bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods. Fascinating, isn't it? It's no wonder this material adorns the outer layer of cultured pearls and resides within the shells of pearl oysters and freshwater pearl mussels.

Now, let's talk about Rhodium, a precious metal hailing from the illustrious Platinum family. Prepare to be amazed, folks, because this metal comes with a hefty price tag—eight times the cost of pure gold (and a whopping 23 times more than 9ct Gold), not to mention four times the price of its cousin, Platinum! But wait, there's more. Rhodium is tough as nails and highly resistant to scratches, which is why it's often used to plate Silver, protecting it from tarnishing. Its brilliant white appearance surpasses that of White Gold and Platinum, making it a popular coating option often referred to as Rhodium flashing. You might even spot it adorning the shoulders or prongs of Yellow Gold rings, creating a mesmerizing setting for dazzling Diamonds. Remember, though, if you want to keep that Rhodium plating intact, avoid taking a dip while wearing your jewellery, especially in chlorinated water. Chlorine, even in small amounts present in tap water, can speed up the deterioration process. So, keep those precious pieces dry, my friends. Fear not, should you ever need a re-plating, it's a simple task.

Now, let's talk about the longevity and value of this exquisite creation. Items like this, made with a high purity of Silver, are built to stand the test of time. They're true lifetime companions that retain their worth for the future. I sincerely appreciate you choosing to shop with me and bringing a touch of elegance into your life.
