Gold, silver, platinum, titanium the choice of metal dramatically influences the look, feel, and longevity of a piece of jewelry. But how do you choose the right one?

Gold comes in yellow, white, and rose tones, with different karats (typically 14K or 18K) indicating purity. While 24K is pure gold, it is too soft for everyday wear. Yellow gold exudes a warm, classic look, while white gold offers a contemporary shine. Rose gold, with its coppery hue, adds a romantic touch.

Sterling silver is affordable and versatile, with a cool tone that pairs well with both casual and formal styles. However, it does require regular polishing to prevent tarnish.

Platinum is prized for its strength, hypoallergenic properties, and natural white sheen. It is heavier and more durable than gold, making it a premium choice for engagement rings and heirloom pieces.

Each metal has its own character. When selecting one, consider skin tone, lifestyle, and the purpose of the piece. At our studio, we help clients match their story to the material that best expresses it.
