Understanding This Piece
About the Natural Diamond
Natural diamonds form deep within the earth over 1–3 billion years under extreme heat and pressure — making each stone genuinely irreplaceable. Diamonds rank 10 on the Mohs hardness scale (the hardest natural material on earth), so they resist scratches better than any other gemstone and are uniquely suited for daily-wear jewelry. Every natural diamond we sell over 0.50ct ships with a GIA or comparable independent grading report documenting its carat weight, color, clarity, and cut precision. Natural diamonds hold their value over decades and carry strong heirloom resale demand.
About 10K White Gold
10K white gold blends 41.7% pure gold with palladium, silver, and zinc, then plates the surface with rhodium for a brilliant cool-white finish. The higher alloy content makes it the most affordable and hardest-wearing white gold available — ideal for daily-wear bands. The rhodium plating wears down over 12–24 months of constant wear and needs replating to restore the bright white; we include this service free for life on every 10K white gold piece purchased from our Atlanta location.
About Heart Motif Rings
Heart rings feature the heart shape as the central design element — either as a heart-cut diamond center stone, a sculptural metal heart cutout, or a heart-shaped halo around the center. Heart rings carry the most overtly romantic symbolism in fine jewelry and are particularly popular as anniversary, Valentine's Day, and milestone celebration gifts. The motif is equally at home in delicate everyday rings and dramatic statement designs.
