EFFY Diamond Chandelier Earrings in 14K White Gold

Diamonds dazzle due to the way they handle light. Beautifully cut diamonds like this show three special optical effects: brilliance, fire, and scintillation. Brilliance describes the bright reflections of white light that make diamonds look like they are lit from within. Fire describes the rainbow flashes of diamond dispersion: light bent into rainbows like a prism. Scintillation is the spots of light that flash as the diamond moves and the pattern and contrast of bright and dark areas in a diamond: the sparkle of the diamond. Reflection, refraction, brilliance, fire, sparkle. Wearing diamonds, you are ready for the spotlight. April’s birthstone, diamond is the gem of the 10th and 60th anniversaries.

14K white gold is the most popular white precious jewelry metal. Its pale glow is the perfect setting for cool-toned gems. Since gold is naturally golden yellow in color, to make 14K white gold, 58.5% gold is alloyed with white metals, usually silver, zinc, palladium, or nickel. These metals also improve the hardness, durability, and affordability of white gold jewelry, since pure gold scratches fairly easily. To get that bright shine, most white gold jewelry is also plated with rhodium, a platinum group metal.
