Gold, Platinum, Silver and Some Pretty Baubles

When we talk about precious metals, the first thing that comes to mind is gold. Although other metals like platinum, palladium, titanium, stainless steel, etc. have become popular, gold still remains to be one of the most timeless metals that jewels are made of. However, it’s unfair to leave all else out of the discussion while talking about precious metals.

Yellow gold is truly timeless and that is not changing as long as gold continues to bear its sunny glow and priceless look. Gold alloys like White, Greenish Yellow, Rose or Pink gold are equally popular among buyers. They bring the warmth of colors to gold which, until now, had only the single yellow tone.

Some individuals prefer platinum over white gold because it is categorically the most precious among jewelry metals. Platinum is admired for its smooth silver color, its longstanding luster and its compatibility with gemstones. Platinum jewelry usually contain partial quantities of platinum alloys like palladium, rhodium and iridium. Ornaments with above 85% platinum purity are called platinum pieces.

Silver, the least expensive of them all, is another popular jewelry metal. .925 sterling silver is the purest form of silver known.
