There are plenty of options. You can choose what type of precious metal you want to use between platinum, golds and silver to best suit your budget.
Platinum ($$$$)
A natural white metal, platinum is renowned for its durability and heft. Platinum scratches and dents a little more easily than white gold, but unlike white gold, it does not have to be plated to achieve a bright white color. Over time, platinum becomes greyish and a little dull looking.
Gold ($$$)
Gold comes in a variety of colors and karats. We currently offer yellow gold, rose gold, or white gold. Gold is available in 10k, 14k, and 18k. The number of karats tells you the percentage of gold that is mixed to make the alloy of gold. For example, 14k gold is 14/24 or 57.5% mixed with other alloys or types of metal.
Gold wears well with time and can be polished to look brand new. White gold goes through a plating process called rhodium plating to make it more durable and give it a brighter white color that is similar to platinum. Over time, rhodium plating can fade; however, most jewelers offer affordable polishing and plating services so that you can keep your piece looking new.
925 Sterling Silver ($)
Sterling silver is the way to go if you love the white metal look, but not the platinum or white gold price tag. When polished and new, sterling silver is a bright white color. Over time, it can turn dull, dent, and tarnish.
Yellow Gold Plated ($)
Yellow gold-plated silver is a great choice if you are looking to have a piece of jewelry made in yellow gold, without the yellow gold price tag. Yellow gold has the same properties as sterling silver. The difference is that it is plated with a thin layer of yellow gold. We recommend this for pendants as plating wears off overtime and especially quickly for pieces of jewelry like rings and bracelets.
