Understanding This Piece
About 14K White Gold
14K white gold mixes 58.3% pure gold with palladium and silver, then receives a rhodium plating that gives it the bright cool-white finish prized for engagement rings and diamond bands. It looks similar to platinum at roughly half the cost. The rhodium plating wears with daily use and typically needs reapplication every 18–24 months — a service we provide free for life on every white gold piece sold at ATL Luxury Jewelers. Underneath the rhodium, 14K white gold has a faint warm undertone.
About Pavé Settings
Pavé (pronounced 'pa-VAY') describes small accent diamonds — typically 0.01–0.05ct each — set tightly together across the band or halo with shared prongs or beads that hold them in a continuous sparkling surface. The word means 'paved' in French. Pavé adds significant sparkle without the cost of larger stones and creates a luxurious, light-catching surface. Annual prong inspection is important to keep pavé stones secure (included free for life at our Atlanta location).
