Choosing the Right Metal for Your Jewelry

When you start your own jewelry company, it’s important to choose the right metal for your jewelry. Some selections are stronger than others, while other selections are more exotic. It’s important to weigh the options before you start the creative process. Here are some of the best options:

• Gold – Everyone knows that gold is one of the most important metals on Earth. For ages, people have loved the look and feel of gold as jewelry. When choosing gold, it’s important to balance purity with durability. Pieces that take more abuse should be less pure.
• Platinum – Technically speaking, platinum is more precious than gold, as it is extremely rare. This is an extremely heavy metal and makes beautiful wedding rings.
• Stainless Steel – While once looked down upon in the jewelry world, this metal has become very popular due to its industrial look. It is often used in more experimental jewelry pieces.
• Silver – As you well know, silver has been used to make jewelry as long as gold. Sterling silver is the standard selection and is commonly used for necklaces and rings.
