Featuring the unique LS440SP staggered cylinders (top and bottom), 4Over's Lithrone prints and coats both sides without turning the sheet over.

While colored gemstones have captured the greatest attention, gold has also moved into the color spectrum. Yellow gold is definitely back although many designers are opting for rose gold, with some going a bit further with red gold. The traditional white holds its ground but is sometimes paired with the newer rose varieties. New textures and weaves also made their way into gold and silver with designs that range from bold to bashful.
