18K white gold is a premium jewelry metal made from 75% pure gold blended with other alloys to create its bright, silvery appearance. It is typically used in fine jewelry and features a brilliant, highly reflective shine due to a protective outer layer of rhodium plating. While lighter in weight than platinum, it provides exceptional scratch resistance but may require occasional re-plating to maintain its bright white color.
The most traditional pavé with each diamond sitting between two polished metal walls which is sometimes termed bead set or channel set pave. The walls here are accented by "milgrain" beading which adds a vintage touch to the pave. The bright cut walls shield the diamonds' girdles from damage making it the most durable pavé and a natural fit for vintage-inspired designs.
