Metal Education

Education on Metals

We have skillfully designed jewelry using precious metals that reflect the purity and durability of your love story. You can select from a variety of metals, each distinguished by its color, rarity, purity, and unique characteristics.

Silver

This cool, lustrous metal is one of the most versatile precious metals available. Known for its brilliant, reflective shine, silver has been treasured for centuries and is commonly used in fine jewelry. Its radiant sheen and timeless appeal make silver an exceptional choice for both everyday jewelry and special pieces alike.

Palladium

This soft, silvery-white metal ranks among the rarest in the world. As a member of the Platinum Group Metals, it is classified as a 'Noble Metal' due to its resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Its brilliance surpasses that of platinum and white gold, making it an excellent choice for wedding rings.

Platinum

The total amount of platinum deposits remaining on Earth from a meteorite impact that occurred millions of years ago would scarcely occupy the space of a typical living room. This illustrates the extreme rarity of the metal. Its exceptional hardness, scarcity, and enduring white luster make it an ideal choice for engagement rings and wedding bands. Additionally, it enhances the brilliance of diamonds beautifully.

Gold

Gold is a classic choice for wedding rings due to its malleability. Though naturally yellow, it’s often alloyed for durability, creating Rose and White gold variations. The gold content, or Karatage (K), is typically 14k or 18k—where 18k gold is 75% pure and ideal for daily wear, while 14k gold at 58.3% purity is more affordable. 18k yellow gold has a richer hue, 14k white gold a whiter tone, and 14k rose gold a pinker shade than 18k. White gold is often rhodium-plated for added luster.
