Understanding This Piece
About 18K White Gold
18K white gold contains 75% pure gold alloyed with palladium and silver, plated with rhodium for a bright white finish that approaches platinum's appearance. The higher gold content gives it more substantial weight and feel than 14K, but the metal is softer and shows wear sooner. As with all white gold, the rhodium layer needs periodic reapplication; we provide replating free for life on every 18K white gold piece purchased from our Snellville atelier.
About Channel Settings
A channel setting holds accent diamonds in a continuous metal track — typically along the top of a wedding band or eternity band — without individual prongs between stones. The smooth, snag-free profile is ideal for daily wear and gives the band a clean architectural line. Channel-set diamonds are particularly secure (held by the channel walls themselves) and require less maintenance than pavé or shared-prong settings.
