Metals of Choice

Platinum

Platinum is the rarest, and most valuable of all the precious metals. It has inspired legendary fashion icons, and was used in early Egyptian times to adorn Priestess’s caskets.

Only a small amount of Platinum is produced each year, which enhances its rarity. Platinum jewellery contains more fine metal than most other jewellery, being at least 95% pure. This rich purity makes Platinum hypoallergenic, and its natural white colour will not tarnish or lose its lustre.

One of the strongest metals used in jewellery, Platinum will endure through all uses. It will resist wear even after a lifetime of use and is one of the best precious metals for setting gemstones and diamonds.

Pure Gold is rich yellow in colour and is far too soft and malleable to be used in jewellery, so fine gold is mixed or alloyed with other metals to give it strength and durability. Alloying Gold creates a vast spectrum of colours and carats, carat being the scale of purity of Gold Alloys, the higher the carat, the higher the gold content. For example, 18ct Gold contains 75% pure gold by weight and 9ct Gold contains 37.5% pure gold by weight. Gold lasts forever and will not rust, tarnish or corrode. It is an everlasting and treasured precious metal that has withstood the test of time.

Artisan Skill

I believe in keeping an ancient art form alive that is being lost in today's fast paced society.

I prefer to handcraft, the metal is forged making it denser and longer wearing, no air bubbles are in the metal and the piece will retain its polish longer. The piece will last generations and become an heirloom of the future.

By handcrafting jewellery attention to detail is not lost, the inside of the ring is as highly detailed as the exterior of the piece. This is a sign of high quality craftsmanship.
