First Impressions First: All stones are hand set; most are prong set in the same manner as fine gold jewelry. You won’t find a lot of glue in Covenant rings, but when you do, you can rest assured that steps have been taken to insure that the finest materials have been used to produce the best results. Stones: Only genuine Cubic Zirconia and Swarovski crystal are used to represent diamond-like styles. R.S. Covenant also uses genuine stones such as tiger eye, onyx, opal, garnet, amethyst and sometimes ruby, sapphire or emerald. Beneath the Surface: The finish is the most important part of any piece of fine costume jewelry. Covenant rings have the best finish that money can buy. Every casting of brass-alloy or sterling silver is hand polished before going to the plater. Electroplating is a three stage process; first copper, then nickel and finally pure gold or precious rhodium are electronically bonded to the surface of the ring. In the case of our brass-alloy rings, Covenant’s is the only factory that inspects each piece during the plating process. After copper is applied, each ring is re-inspected to be sure the surface has no flaws. Any defects found are sent back to polishing before going back to plating. R.S. Covenant's silver rings are made using precious sterling silver. Sterling is the term used to define the highest standard for measuring silver. Specifically, it is an alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. This mixture of metals has led to the mark “.925” which is used by most manufacturers, including Covenant, to designate the purity of their silver products. After polishing, the rings are electroplated with a layer of precious rhodium, which gives them the look of white gold or platinum, and eliminates tarnishing. The results are dramatic. Take a close look at their rings and you will see their quality reflected. R.S. Covenant's rings truly look real! All rings come with an unconditional guarantee. UNCONDITIONAL LIFETIME GUARANTEE R.S. Covenant’s fashion jewelry is unconditionally guaranteed for life. The jewelry is crafted in the same manner as 14/18k gold jewelry. The guarantee covers tarnishing and stone settings. Please note that as with any jewelry, exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive perspiration will cause the ring to discolor. The replacement guarantee is still valid if this happens, but to avoid this, we recommend that the ring is taken off when cleaning or engaging in athletic activities. We have sold these rings for years and our customers love them! We have people who come back several times a year to get more of them. You simply won’t find better quality for less, that’s a promise! The lifetime guarantee is offered by R.S. Covenant, not by us. All buyers will get a certificate with information on how to proceed in the event of a claim. There is a handling charge which you must pay imposed by R.S. Covenant to replace damaged rings.
