Precious metals

What we set stones in, and how each one wears.

The metals we use

  • White goldGold alloyed white and rhodium plated. Bright and cool; the plating is refreshed as part of the lifetime promise.
  • Yellow goldWarm and traditional. Hides a slightly warmer stone beautifully.
  • Rose goldCopper in the alloy gives the blush. Hard-wearing and forgiving.
  • PlatinumDenser and naturally white. It does not need plating; it develops a soft patina instead.
  • SilverTarnish resistant, and the gentlest way into a design.
