<h3>Platinum</h3> AppearancePlatinum is a lustrous silvery-white metal that's beautiful and hypoallergenic, making it a sought-after jewelry choice. DurabilityPlatinum requires very little maintenance, as it is corrosion-resistant and does not tarnish. It is also less malleable than gold. PricePlatinum is one of the most expensive precious metals due to its stunning appearance and superior durability.

<h3>18K White Gold</h3> Appearance18K white gold has a similar silvery-white appearance to platinum, making it another stunning choice for jewelry.

PriceWhite gold is more affordable than platinum but requires more maintenance, so it may cost more in the long run.

PriceRose gold is more affordable than platinum and has approximately the same price point as white gold and yellow gold.

<h3>18K Yellow Gold</h3> Appearance18K yellow gold boasts the rich hue for which gold is famous, and its luster is beautiful. Durability18K yellow gold comprises 75% gold and 25% alloys added to strengthen the metal, making it durable for everyday wear. Price18K yellow gold is more affordable than platinum at the same price as white gold and rose gold.

As part of our commitment to social and environmental responsibility, our gold and silver jewelry is crafted using primarily recycled precious metals. Precious metals mining has a history of environmental degradation and social injustice, and choosing recycled precious metals helps reduce demand for new mining. Since our recycled precious metals are re-refined into their pure elements, they are of the same quality as newly mined metals.
