Sounds like varyious numbers of white gold 3448

Hi Tic Toc,

Sounds like various numbers on white gold 3448. Of course more rare than in yellow gold, it could be as high as 130 pieces in white gold, although 100 sounds about right with an average of 5 pieces a year over 20 years. Similar to 1518 in pink gold being 47 out of 281 total pieces made.
