METAL GUIDE

PLATINUM

Rarer and more precious than gold, platinum is a seriously luxe heavy metal. Platinum is incredibly strong, hypoallergenic and considered a noble metal in chemistry terms due to its resistance to corrosion.

18k WHITE GOLD

Forged from yellow gold fused with the extremely rare and valuable silver-white palladium for richness and durability. White November rhodium-plate our jewellery (adds lustre) but can be omitted on request.

18k YELLOW GOLD

18k Gold is the most pure form of gold used for rings, and other wearable jewellery. This gold has a rich, yellow appearance that most people associate with gold jewellery. Since 18k gold is almost pure, there’s very little risk of jewellery made using this material causing any skin irritation if you have a nickel allergy.

9k ROSE GOLD
