Jewelry and precious metal manufacturers have been famous for a long time for their pieces wrought from precious metals. But when it comes to metjewellerylry how do we know that we’re making the right choice?

All too often a too light or heavy piece can appear harsh, unwieldy and uncomfortable as well as alter your entire outfit.

Despite its simple appearance gold is actually quite a complex metal as it’s available in a range of carats as well as colours. Believe it or not, pure gold is far too soft for jewelry making and when it’s used tends to warp and bend which risks precious stones falling out. Ask the jeweller which metals have been used to strengthen the mix if you are having issues with allergic reactions to various metals.

That’s not to say that stainless steel items can’t be delicate as it’s possible to create stunning earrings, necklaces, and cuffs because this metal is so adaptable.

→ Going Platinum

If you’re looking to purchase a real showstopper, then platinum is the only choice! It’s a beautiful, strong sparkling white metal that’ll definitely put both gold and silver in the shade although it is still somewhat heavy. Traditionally, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and opals have all been housed within the shimmering confines of platinum. It’s known in industry circles as the ‘bank breaker’ because the price of platinum, this highly desirable, very rare metal is so incredibly high.
