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 Men's Wedding Bands
Men's wedding bands typically sit at 5–8mm wide (vs 1.5–3mm for women's) and are built for substantial daily wear. The most-purchased style is a 6–7mm comfort-fit polished band in platinum or 14K white gold. Width should be selected proportionally to hand size — narrower for smaller hands, wider for larger. Finish options include high-polish (classic), brushed matte (modern), hammered (rugged), and milgrain-edged (vintage). Many men's bands are now diamond-set or feature contrasting inlay (wood, carbon fiber, meteorite) for personalization.
