KNOW YOUR METALS
Gold: Gold is a desired metal used in variety of rings. 10, 14 and 18 karats are the most common karats values available. When purchasing gold, higher karats means a higher percentage of gold in the ring and a higher purchase price. The hardness and durability of gold highly depends on the karat, this is an important factor that should be considered when selecting your gold ring.
Silver: Silver is a soft metal susceptible to scratching and other damages. Silver oxidizes with air causing your jewellery to turn black sometimes. Whenever this occurs, your silver pieces, wedding and rings can be restored by wiping down with a silver jewellery cleaner or polish.
Tungsten Carbide: Tungsten carbide is a compound of Tungsten and carbon that is hard, heavy and durable. A tungsten ring can withstand any degree of wear and tear, remaining in pristine condition. Tungsten ring is more scratch-resistant than rings made from other metals and always maintains its shiny lustre eliminating the need for periodic cleaning or polishing compared to other metals. It is four times harder than Titanium and can neither be cut nor soldered.
Titanium: Titanium is the strongest naturally occurring metal on earth. Despite its strength, titanium is very light making it a good choice for rings because of its 100% hypoallergenic, scratch-resistant and non-fading nature.
Gold plated: Gold plated jewellery is a budget-friendly option for gold jewellery. It gives you the look and the style without the high price tag that comes with purchasing a gold piece and is an ideal choice for any jewellery piece you don’t wear daily. Gold plated jewellery pieces come in varying levels of quality and depend on the thickness and purity of the gold coating, the base metal used for the piece and the quality of craftsmanship. Once plated, it is almost impossible to tell real gold from a gold plated piece by viewing it. Gold plated jewellery is capable of tarnishing and fading but can be re-plated.
