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 Solitaire Setting
The solitaire is the most enduring engagement-ring silhouette — a single center diamond held by 4 or 6 prongs on a clean band, with no side stones to compete for attention. The classic six-prong 'Tiffany Setting' was introduced in 1886 and remains the reference design for solitaires today. A solitaire puts 100% of the visual focus on the center stone's cut, color, and clarity, which makes diamond quality particularly important. Solitaires pair cleanly with any wedding band style and are the most resizing-friendly setting category.
