Also known as bead setting, it uses small, tiny prongs or beads raised from the metal band to hold the gemstones in place. It's often used for eternity rings or bands where a continuous line of stones is desired. 

The area around the primary gemstone doesn't have any gaps or openings. It's a solid, continuous band of metal that provides a more secure and sturdy setting, as well as a sleek and modern look. 

The primary gemstone is raised above the ring band, making it much more visible. Unlike a cathedral or trellis head, a raised head is typically solid without cut-outs on either side of the gallery.

The ring's band doesn't taper or split at the ends and maintains the same width, making it the most basic and common type of ring shank.

Gold is mixed with other alloys like platinum, silver, manganese, or palladium to create its white colour and is often coated with rhodium to reduce yellow tones. While it looks similar to platinum, white gold is usually less expensive. It is not hypoallergenic, and its cost can vary based on the alloys used.

18-karat white gold contains 75% pure gold, compared to 9-karat, which has only 37.5%. Higher karat white gold has a warmer hue, even with rhodium coating, but it is also softer and more prone to scratches.

A smooth, shiny surface that reflects light. It's created using abrasive compounds or a polishing wheel to remove imperfections from the metal.
