18kt. “Pure White” 0.61ct.I1-H Solitaire $1298.00

.               One of the problems with white gold is the need for the occasional application of a rhodium plating to give a bright white finish. This ring is alloyed with a proprietary combination of 75% gold, a few other “secret” ingredients and palladium. The palladium gives the ring a whiter colour without the need to rhodium plate. The ring contains one semi bezel set round faceted diamond of I1 clarity and H colour. The diamond has a unique pavilion made up of 96 facets (a standard brilliant cut has only 24) giving this diamond more brilliance. The Canadian made ring weighs 3.9 grams and is estate priced at $1298.00

14kt Custom Diamond Pendant $840.00

Yes this is estate but in this case it is definitely not antique. You can’t get more modern than custom 14 karat white gold on a soft rubber cord necklace. The simple oval frame weighs 5.9 grams and contains 11 round brilliant cut diamonds of SI average clarity and colour that ranges from H to approaching fancy greenish yellow. I not sure if the mismatched colour selection of the diamonds was by choice or necessity but it looks good and suits the piece. Estate priced at $840.00
