hite metals we work with include platinum, palladium, 18k and 14k palladium white gold and a special alloy called X-1, which we are partial to for its color and non-allergenic properties. Typically white gold jewelry is rhodium plated giving the metal a bright white look that requires maintenance when the plating eventually wears off. We encourage our clients to explore the individual nature of each metal to see what looks best with their skin tone. Traditionally the use of platinum and other white metals comes from a desire to keep extraneous colors from reflecting into a perfect brilliant cut diamond. While this maybe important if the diamond is the focus of the ring, we feel that a more satisfying result will come from our individualized approach which matches you, your ring and the diamond. Works from commissions and invitational exhibitions are a welcomed part of the portfolio. Please see Shibumi Gallery wedding & commitment rings for more. 01.
