Lustrous
18K White Gold
Natural Diamond
Lustrous was created in 18k White Gold (stamped and tested), a nod to high quality design, during the Art Deco Period. This lovely piece is in near mint condition.
The designer thoughtfully integrated exquisitely detailed flowers in the filigree design, in a gently raised setting. Well thought out milgrain detail, make this an exceptionally, lovely piece.
The center stone is a round, Brilliant Cut, scintillating, natural, earth mined diamond, and is approximately 3mm in diameter. Absolutely exquisite!

White Gold and Rhodium Plating
Rhodium is a member of the Platinum family. It is a precious and extremely expensive metal. Depending on the market, Rhodium can cost twice that of gold and platinum.
The basis of all gold jewelry, is 24k pure gold, which is yellow.
Jewelry made of “White Gold” (10k, 14k, 18k) is almost always plated with Rhodium, as it is nearly impossible to mix pure yellow gold with other metals, to create the white color used in jewelry design. Rhodium resists scratching and tarnishing, giving a white, reflective appearance many designers, jewelers and jewelry owners desire.
When a piece of “White Gold” jewelry begins to show yellow or gold color, take the piece to a competent goldsmith or jeweler, who will clean and Rhodium Plate the piece for you.
