Gold alloys
Eighteen carats means seventy-five parts in a hundred.
The remaining quarter decides the colour and the hardness. Copper warms it, silver and palladium cool it. We use 18k throughout, because it holds a stone securely and keeps its colour for decades.
We use 18k throughout, for security and for colour that lasts.
Yellow, white, champagne
Three golds, three temperatures.
Yellow gold warms a stone and flatters near-colourless diamonds. White gold is plated in rhodium and brightens cool stones. Champagne sits between the two and suits most skin tones.
Choose the metal by the stone it will hold.
Why we rarely cast
Metal that is worked by hand is denser.
Casting is fast and suits complex forms. Forging and hand-fabrication compress the metal, which makes a band stronger and a claw less likely to lift. Most of our rings are made this way.
Hand-worked metal is denser, and it lasts longer.
