Precious Metals have been used to create beautiful pieces of jewelry that makes a perfect gift for you and your loved ones. But have you ever thought about what precious metals makes them so precious that we love to keep them with us forever? Let’s take a look.
White gold is a sought after precious metal for engagement rings, both due to its beauty and because it is a less expensive alternative to platinum.
This precious metal is beloved for its gleaming white finish that makes diamonds truly dazzle. White gold is the most popular precious metal for engagement ring settings because it beautifully complements the shiny white sparkle of a centre diamond.
White gold is available up to 21 karats. Most engagement rings are 14k or 18k. This gorgeous precious metal looks lovely against any colored gemstones.
Yellow Gold is known for its beauty and versatility. Gold is the classic setting for most jewelry and retains a beautiful luster.
Yellow gold is normally an alloy including silver, copper and zinc to strengthen the metal and enhance the yellow sheen.
Gold is historically the most popular choice for wedding bands and other jewelry.
Rose gold, also known as pink or red gold, was very popular in Russia at the beginning of the 19th Century.
It is a gold and copper alloy that is increasing in popularity and is commonly used for rings, pendants and bracelets.
The most common karat of rose gold is 14k, but it can go up to 22k which is also known as crown gold.
The everlasting popularity of platinum is due to its purity, color, strength and prestige.
Platinum is highly durable and resistant to tarnishing, making it a practical and glamorous metal for everyday jewelry.
Platinum holds precious stones firmly and securely and develops a natural patina over time. It is the rarest and most expensive of the popular precious metals.
