Sphene and Diamond Pendant in 18K White Gold

The sophisticated color of sphene is just the beginning of what makes this gem special. Sphene has unrivalled dispersion, which means that this gem breaks up light into spectral colors like a prism. As you move, this gem flashes every color of the rainbow, like nature’s own tiny laser light show. The effect is truly mesmerizing.

Creating 18K white gold is jeweler’s alchemy. To make luxurious 18K white gold, 75% pure golden yellow gold is alloyed with 25% white metals, usually silver, zinc, or palladium. These metals also increase its durability and hardness. To get that bright white shine, most 18K white gold jewelry is plated with rhodium, a platinum group metal.
