Diamond Hoop Earrings in 14K White Gold | Shared Prong Set | 2.0 cttw

Rhodium is the reason white gold looks white. Gold alloyed toward white still leaves the bench closer to gray than to silver, so the finished piece is plated in rhodium, a platinum-group metal both harder and brighter than the gold beneath it. That rhodium polish is specified here, and it is what puts a cold white ground behind the stones. It is a plating rather than the body of the metal, so it does wear over years and gets re-applied as ordinary service — worth knowing before buying any white metal piece.

The setting is shared prong, meaning one prong grips two neighboring diamonds at once instead of every stone claiming four of its own. That halves the metal standing between one stone and the next, which is how 70 round diamonds totaling 2 carats can read as a single continuous line of light rather than a row of individual settings.

The stones are graded I-J in color and I1-I2 in clarity. Against a rhodium-white surround, near-colorless reads as white; and at melee size, the inclusions those clarity grades describe are not something an eye resolves across a table.

A hinged snap-back closes the hoop on itself. Solid 14K white gold, with the DEEVE lifetime warranty.
