Precious Metals in Jewelry

In jewelry, various metals are used to create stunning and enduring pieces. Gold, in its various yellow, white, and rose hues, offers versatility and timeless appeal, making it a perennial favorite. Platinum stands out for its durability and unique sheen, ideal for those seeking a sophisticated and lasting option. For a more modern touch, metals like titanium and tungsten are gaining popularity, known for their strength and resistance to wear. Palladium, a less-known but equally luxurious choice, offers a lightweight feel with a lustrous finish. Each of these metals brings its charm and distinct properties, allowing for a wide range of styles and preferences in jewelry design.

White Gold

Renowned for its gleaming luster and denseness, white gold is one of the most popular metal choices for jewelry, adding a timeless and classic beauty to engagement rings.

Yellow Gold

Known as the most popular shade of precious metal, yellow gold is extremely popular, not only in fine jewelry but in the market today. A mixed array of copper alloys and silver creates its luxurious and warm hue.

Platinum

Platinum is hypoallergenic and is four times more durable than gold. Its silvery-white surface is comparable to white gold, although it’s noticeably heavier.

Rose Gold

Often known as the most “romantic” metal, rose gold is an extremely popular metal choice for those looking for a feminine or luxurious touch. The combination of copper and silver creates its darker hue. By adding a larger portion of copper to the ring, the “rose” tones in the metal will become more apparent.

Palladium

Deemed a smarter, lighter alternative to platinum, palladium has gained immense popularity as the jewelry metal of choice by both women and men alike.

Alternative Metals

Tungsten

Tungsten jewelry is a popular metal choice in fine jewelry due to its durability and longevity.

Cobalt

Recently, cobalt has become increasingly popular as a material for wedding rings because of its strength and modern appeal.

Elysium

Elysium Rings are made from real crushed diamonds that are engineered into an extremely durable, black surface.

Damascus

Damascus Steel rings are made by hand in order to recreate the metalsmithing of ancient times with modern precision.
