Silver

We have deftly crafted jewelry from precious metals that are as pure and long-lasting as your love story. There are different types of metals that you can choose based on their color, rarity, purity and qualities.

Palladium

This soft silvery-white metal is one of the rarest metals in the world. It is a member of the Platinum Group Metals and also known as a ‘Noble Metal’ as it has the ability to withstand corrosion and oxidation. It is far more radiant than platinum or white gold which makes it the ideal metal for wedding rings.

Platinum

All of the deposits of platinum left on Earth after a meteorite crash that took place eons ago, will barely fit into your living room. That’s how rare this metal is. It’s perfect for engagement rings and wedding bands due to its hardness, rarity and white sheen that never fades. Oh, and also for accentuating the brilliance of a diamond.

Gold

The traditional choice for wedding rings, gold is the most malleable precious metal. While it is originally yellow in color, it is alloyed to increase its strength and create Rose or White gold. When it comes to buying gold, it is a common practice to check the Karatage or ‘K’. The ‘K’ is nothing but an indication of how much of the metal used in a piece of jewelry is actually gold. The most common choice when it comes to gold purity is 14k and 18k gold. While 18K gold is composed of 75% gold to make it strong for everyday wear, 14K gold is composed of 58.3% gold to make it more economical. 18K yellow gold has a deeper yellow hue while 14K white gold has a stronger white color, 14K rose gold is more pink than 18K, and so on. It also advisable to get white gold rhodium plated to give it an enviable shine.
