MARIA TENNIS NECKLACE
The Maria Tennis Necklace is a premium, high-brilliance piece designed for a seamless "line of light" effect. Based on the product details, here is a breakdown of the materials:
Primary Gemstones
• 3mm Triple-A (AAA) Cubic Zirconia: This necklace features hand-selected stones known for their exceptional clarity and precision cutting. The "AAA" rating indicates a higher grade of stone that closely mimics the fire and light dispersion of genuine diamonds. The 3mm size offers a classic, sophisticated scale that is substantial enough to stand alone or be layered.
Metal & Finish
• Rhodium Plating: The necklace is finished with Rhodium, a rare and precious metal from the platinum family. Rhodium is highly valued in luxury jewelry for several reasons:
• Bright White Luster: It provides an ultra-reflective, cool-toned finish that enhances the sparkle of the stones.
• Durability: It is extremely hard and helps protect the underlying metal from scratches.
• Tarnish Resistance: Unlike silver, Rhodium does not oxidize, ensuring the necklace maintains its "white gold" look over time.
• Base Metal: While not specified, high-quality tennis necklaces at this price point typically use Sterling Silver (925) or a durable Jeweler’s Brass as the foundation.
Construction & Fit
• Articulated Links: The stones are set in individual baskets connected by flexible joints, allowing the necklace to drape smoothly and lay flat against the collarbone without twisting.
• Prong Setting: Each 3mm stone is securely held by fine prongs to maximize light entry from all angles, ensuring consistent brilliance.
