A GUIDE TO OUR CURATED MATERIALS

14k and 10k gold are popular in the United States, but 22k gold is revered worldwide as the highest gold-alloy ratio used in modern jewelry. 22k Yellow Gold epitomizes luxury and elegance in jewelry. Pure 24k gold is alloyed with other metals to make it harder, losing color and value with more added metals. 22k Yellow Gold possesses 91.7% gold, illuminating a warm, radiant, rich hue that will never tarnish. We use 22k Yellow Gold exclusively in our inlaid wedding band personally sourced from an Alaskan Native and close friend. It adds an unparalleled touch of opulence and sophistication to any piece. As a symbol of wealth, tradition, and beauty, 22k yellow gold remains a perennial favorite, standing the test of time.

These precious metals are a staple in jewelry craftsmanship. Sterling Silver, a timeless metal with a rich historical legacy, captivates with its lustrous and versatile charm. The term "sterling" itself has roots in medieval England. The modern alloy we know as Sterling Silver emerged during the 13th century, incorporating 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% nickel-free alloy for added durability. Over the centuries, Sterling Silver has adorned royal regalia, religious artifacts, and everyday objects, reflecting its allure. 999 Fine Silver has even higher luster and is as close to pure as silver gets. We use Sterling Silver in numerous custom jewelry products, and Fine Silver, exclusively, in our inlaid wedding band. If kept clean and free of irritants, neither 925 Sterling Silver nor 999 Fine Silver will tarnish or affect your skin.
