Corundum's crystal structure gives sapphire and ruby their Mohs 9 hardness, a level that translates physically into polish retention over years of wear.
Visually Speaking
The optical effect of 18kt white gold on a mounted stone follows from its neutral, cool light reflectivity. By minimizing warm color contamination at the girdle, white gold settings allow a stone's inherent optical properties, brilliance, color, and transparency, to read more accurately than warmer metal settings permit.
