Gold
One of the most valued substances in the world, Gold has the uncanny ability to draw the attention of humans like moths to a flame. This material that has been treasured throughout the entirety of history – and still today it is considered the purest of all metals.
Gold comes in various forms: 18-Karat, 22-Karat and 24-Karat being the best known. The Karat weight measures the amount of Pure Gold within the metal mixture. The higher the Karat of the gold – the softer the material is, making it either easier or more difficult to work with when crafting jewelry. In most cases, we choose to use 18k Gold as it has the best purity-to-durability ratio.

Although pure Gold is Yellow, it's not the only color of Gold. One can also acquire jewelry in Rose and White Gold. White Gold is a combination of pure Gold, and other white metals. This alloy, or Gold-mixture, is usually created using minerals such as Nickel, Palladium, Platinum or Magnesium. Rose gold is a combination of pure Gold and other metals, mainly Copper. The Copper gives the material a beautiful reddish tint. The purity of both White Gold and Rose Gold, similar to traditional Yellow Gold, is measured in Karats.
