Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about White Gold and Sapphire Earrings
What does the 18K White Gold stamp indicate?+
18K (or 750) White Gold means that 75% of the metal alloy is pure gold. This higher percentage of gold makes the metal more valuable and generally more resistant to tarnish and less likely to cause irritation than 14K gold.
How does the 0.72 CTW Diamond Halo enhance the sapphires?+
The halo setting surrounds the main stone with smaller diamonds, making the central sapphire appear larger and brighter. The 0.72 CTW of diamonds provides a significant amount of sparkle, drawing attention to the rich blue color of the sapphires.
Are the Oval Blue Sapphires suitable for daily wear?+
Yes, sapphires are highly durable, ranking 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness. The prong settings are secure for daily wear, but care should always be taken to avoid impact to the edges of the oval stones.
What are Push Backs, and how secure are they?+
Push Backs (or friction backs) slide onto the earring post and are held in place by friction. They are the most common type of earring closure . While secure for most activities, for valuable earrings, it is recommended to check the tension of the backs regularly.
