Understanding Different Types of Metals in Jewelry

Jewelry has been a significant part of human culture for centuries, serving as a symbol of status, beauty, and personal expression. The choice of metal can dramatically affect the appearance, durability, and price of the jewelry piece. Let’s delve into the world of metals used in jewelry making.

Gold

Gold is cherished for its luster and rarity. Available in yellow, white, and rose hues, it’s important to understand karats when choosing gold jewelry. Beginners should start with lower karat gold like 10K or 14K for durability while advanced users might appreciate the purity of 18K or even higher.

Silver

Silver is prized for its bright sheen and affordability. Sterling silver (92.5% pure) is commonly used in fine jewelry. Keep your silver sparkling by storing it properly and cleaning with a soft cloth regularly.
