Metal
14k White gold.
Care for white gold:
14k white gold is often plated with rhodium to enhance its shine and provide a durable, reflective surface. This practice is common in the jewelry industry, as rhodium plating helps the gold have a more white and shiny look. To care for your rhodium-plated jewelry, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and clean it gently with a soft cloth; if it begins to wear off over time, feel free to come to me for a re-rhodium service at a reasonable price.
Gemstones
The center gemstone is a 2.01ct lab grown diamond.
It is graded F/colorless with a VVS2 clarity.
It has the highest grade of 'Excellent' for the cut, polish, and symmetry.
It is independently graded by IGI. The diamond report number is LG710568200.

There are four marquise faceted lab grown blue sapphires.
Each measures 7 x 3.5mm. The total weight of all four sapphires is 2.05ctw.
Caring for your gemstones:
Lab-grown sapphires and diamonds are relatively low-maintenance gemstones. To care for them, clean them regularly with warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove dirt and oils. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, and store them separately to prevent scratches from other jewelry.
The primary gemstone is set with 'V' prongs on each end.
The four side gemstones are also set with end 'V' prongs end to end, two on each side.
They are are set below the center diamond, with a slight angle on the X and Y axis.
All gemstones are set with an under gallery rail for security.
The band is approximately 2mm wide, with a narrow shoulder coming up on each side between the sapphires and just under the main diamond.

Please Tell Others
If you are happy with your new custom jewelry and enjoyed the process of designing your one of a kind piece, please leave me a review and let others know.
Custom Creations
The design was created in CAD (computer aided design) using Matrix Gold. Matrix is a parametric based program specifically used for jewelry. A 3D resin model was printed, and from that a mold was created for casting using a "lost wax process", named for the fact that the resin model in burned away to create the mold. This is a one-off piece that will never be recreated except by client request.
