Milgrain, a border of tiny beaded metal dots applied along setting edges with a rotating tool, sounds simple but reads as complex. It has become synonymous with Art Deco craftsmanship.
Visually Speaking
In a ring encompassing milgrain, a fine bead line travels along the edge. Milgrain frames the stone setting and band border with texture, giving the surface more complexity without adding height or changing the outline.
Care & Keeping
Standard care for 18kt white gold involves gentle cleaning with warm water and a soft brush, which preserves the rhodium surface finish without abrasion. Periodic professional polishing can re-plate the rhodium layer when wear reduces the original brightness.
