MATERIAL

The material the jewelry is made of gives it value and personality. The 3 main categories are Silver, Gold and Platinum.

Silver is recommended for jewelry that is worn occasionally, it is not a very durable material, nor is it precious. It can also be used as a symbolic element in some designs with gold or platinum. The color of silver is white.

Gold is the most famous material of all time. It is considered a precious material, and depending on its karat, its strength is also defined. Pure 24 karat gold is too malleable to be used in jewelry, so it is used together with other alloys as follows:

• 18 karat gold contains 75.01% pure gold, the rest is alloy. It is also called 750/1000 gold.
• 14 karat gold contains 58.5% pure gold, the rest is alloy. Also called 585/1000 gold.
• 9 karat gold contains 37.5% pure gold, the rest is alloy. It is also called 375/1000 gold.

Considering the above aspects, jewelry with a higher amount of gold is more resistant over time, especially to oxidation, our recommendation is always 18k gold for jewelry that will be worn daily.

Gold is yellow in color, but depending on the alloy with which it is combined, we can obtain different shades, namely: pink gold, with a copper alloy, or white gold, with a silver alloy, which can be plated in rhodium to have the color of silver or can be without rhodium for a yellowish white color.

Platinum is a noble metal because it does not react with oxygen in the air, so it does not rust or turn black. It is extremely rare and is used mainly in jewelry processing. It has a high hardness, being used almost pure, in a percentage of at least 95% Platinum, and the rest is alloy.

It is the best recommendation for those who want jewelry for life or to be passed down to descendants. It is the only metal that when scratched does not lose weight, but the weight is redistributed, receiving a unique patina from your use.

Platinum has an intense silver color and cannot be plated with rhodium.
