METAL

GOLD

Gold’s purest form of 24 karat is far too soft to use for jewelry purposes. This is why you will find gold of different purities such as 10, 14, and 18 karat depending on how many alloys were added. Alloys such as nickel and palladium can be added to gold to change it’s natural yellow color to a white color. For engagement purposes, most settings are offered in 14 and 18 karat.

PALLADIUM

Palladium is a new metal that offers the best of both worlds. As a member of the platinum family, the duribility of Palladium makes it more desirable than Gold or Silver. This metal is less costly than Platinum with endearing similar qualities.

PLATINUM

Platinum is a pure white metal, normally 90 to 95 percent pure. It is much heavier and denser than gold, hence it lasts for generations. Of the precious metals, platinum is the most scarce, therefore the price of platinum tends to be more expensive than other precious metals.

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE

Tungsten carbide has become one of the more popular nontraditional rings. Known for its strength and durability, the symbolism of tungsten carbide in wedding rings is undeniable
In an extraordinary process, Tungsten and Carbide powders are forged together at 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit to form rings that are virtually indestructible and scratch proof. Then they are polished with a diamond compound, resulting in a polish and shine that will last forever. Tungsten rings offer the perfect combination of unbelievable strength with style and comfort.
