GOLD
Gold has been a valued metal for centuries, due to both its color and its versatility. Pure gold is too soft to be used as jewelry so it’s combined with other metals to increase its strength. Depending on the metal, the color of pure cold can change from white to green to rose. The “karat” is the standard measurement of gold.

PLATINUM
Compared to gold, platinum is five times as rare and weighs much more. Platinum’s natural white color serves as a compliment to diamonds and it’s also tarnish-resistant and hypoallergenic.

STERLING SILVER
Silver, like gold, is too soft to use in its pure form and is combined with other metals to increase its strength. Sterling silver must be at least 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% or less of other metals. Silver is prone to tarnishing but can be cleaned with regular polishing.

ALTERNATIVE METALS
Non-traditional metals like titanium, stainless steel, and tungsten carbide have recently become popular for jewelry. Titanium is a lightweight, extremely strong metal. Stainless steel is less likely to rust and tarnish than other metals. Tungsten is also a very strong metal, resistant to corrosion, and easy to maintain.

METAL CARE
It’s important to remember that every metal is different and while little maintenance is needed for durable metals like tungsten, others require some attention.
