Platinum plated over brass refers to a process where a thin, outer layer of genuine platinum is applied to the surface of the brass. Platinum is a "noble metal," meaning it is highly resistant to corrosion and chemical reactions. Unlike silver, which turns black, or raw brass, which turns green/brown, platinum does not oxidize. The plating acts as a shield for the brass underneath. Platinum itself is biocompatible and safe for most skin types. As long as the plating remains intact, it prevents the copper/zinc in the brass from reacting with your skin.
Cubic zirconia (CZ) is a lab-created gemstone that serves as the most popular and affordable alternative to diamonds. While it was discovered as a natural mineral in 1937, it is so rare in nature that all CZ used in jewelry today is synthesized in laboratories.
