What is jewelry made of?
It is impossible to imagine styling without jewelry – the treasure of every appearance. There are different types of jewelry that differ from each other in many ways, from the raw material of the piece to the element to the unique design.
High-quality luxury jewelry based on fine raw materials costs more, and rightly so. Naturally, it is an artistic work of art, and certain raw materials have advantages over others that are reflected in the price of the jewelry.
The raw material contributes to the durability of the jewelry, achieving a special look, and allows the jewelry designer to create jewelry in different shapes according to the capabilities and flexibility of the material.
What materials are popular in jewelry making and what is important to know about each of them?
Gold, the king of jewelry
It is very difficult to compete with the wonders of gold. The most precious metal in the world, it is a rare resource on Earth and hence its prestige. Investing in gold has proven to be a good investment even during periods of market turmoil, because gold is a tradable material and its value often remains high during times of crisis.
Furthermore, the material itself is exceptionally durable, including in contact with water. It does not get dirty or scratched and maintains a natural, shiny appearance over time.
As a natural mineral, gold is considered hypoallergenic and ideal for sensitive skin. It is even linked to relieving symptoms such as arthritis, stimulating blood circulation, and has properties for regulating body temperature.
In terms of the material's flexibility, it is possible to create spectacular jewelry with exciting designs from gold, and these, due to the material's many benefits, can be passed down from generation to generation...
Money is especially valuable
Although silver is not as durable or expensive as gold, its value is in its place. It is a very durable metal from which stylish and surprising jewelry can be created. However, it is important to take more care of silver jewelry, since the metal may darken in contact with water and air, so the jewelry should be cleaned gently from time to time and kept in an airtight jewelry box.
Silver jewelry will cost you less than gold, but compared to other metals, silver is considered a valuable and impressive raw material. Silver jewelry also has health benefits such as preventing colds, healing wounds, regulating temperature, improving energy levels, and fighting toxins and pollutants.
The secret of platinum
There are several good reasons to choose platinum jewelry: It is a precious metal, shiny and has a silky texture that is pleasant to the touch. Platinum is considered hypoallergenic and anyone who suffers from various sensitivities will enjoy adopting it to their skin. Maintaining platinum is incredibly simple, all you need to do is clean it gently and it will look great over time. Most platinum jewelry is not made of completely pure platinum, but combines platinum with other metals and the symbol engraved on the jewelry indicates the level of purity of the platinum. The material is more challenging to work with, because it is heavy and dense, and the cost of the jewelry reflects the great investment that designers make in jewelry made from this material.
Palladium power
Palladium is another material that stars in the jewelry scene and is characterized by lightness and airiness. It is considered cheaper than platinum and less expensive, but hypoallergenic and has high durability in terms of color. Its color does not fade quickly and there is no need to coat it, it is very flexible, so special fashionable pieces can be designed from it, and it does not contain nickel, so it is suitable for those with sensitive skin. The metal itself is naturally shiny and white, hence its purity and uniqueness.
When choosing jewelry, think about the material it is made of and the qualities of each material, both in terms of its contribution to the look of the piece and its touch and maintenance. Choose jewelry that you will love in every way, from the material to the way it looks on your skin.
