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 the Three-Stone Setting
A three-stone setting features a center diamond flanked by two matched side stones — symbolizing past, present, and future in modern engagement-ring tradition. The side stones are typically smaller versions of the center diamond shape (or contrasting shapes like trillions or pear cuts flanking a round). Three-stone settings carry strong heirloom value and were popularized in modern times by Meghan Markle's engagement ring. They visually present a larger overall footprint than a solitaire of equivalent center weight.
