Rhodium is a platinum-group metal that is electroplated onto the surface of 18kt white gold to produce a brighter, harder, more uniform white finish than the alloy achieves on its own.
A Storied Heritage
The emerald cut was named for the stone it was designed to serve, its rectangular step-cut geometry developed to reduce stress on the crystal during cutting and maximize color depth, two problems specific to emerald whose solution proved so effective that it was subsequently applied to diamonds and every other gemstone.
