A gold-plated silver ring with cubic zirconia (CZ) is a piece of jewelry that combines the beauty of precious metals with the brilliance of gemstone simulants to create an affordable yet luxurious accessory. Silver: The core material of the ring is sterling silver, a popular and durable alloy composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. Sterling silver is known for its bright white luster and excellent suitability for jewelry making. Gold Plating: The silver base is coated with a thin layer of gold, a process known as gold plating. This gives the ring the appearance of a solid gold piece, enhancing its visual appeal while keeping it more affordable than an all-gold counterpart. The thickness of the gold layer can vary, often measured in microns, and may affect the longevity and wear resistance of the plating.
