Our Metal Options
Below is a list of the Metal Options we offer, and the benefits and differences between them:
- Sterling Silver (.925)
- Brass
- Ancient Bronze
*Contact me to request any design in Gold.
Sterling Silver
Our more luxurious and valuable option- Sterling Silver is a precious metal used in fine jewelry for Centuries. The (.925) in Sterling Silver refers to the percentage (92.5%) of Pure Silver that is in the Metal- the rest of its composition is additional metals that assist with castability, workability, and color.
Benefits of Sterling Silver (.925):
- Resistance to Tarnish
- Resistance to Breakage
- Ability to Patina for Enhanced Details (view image)
- Best Value Proposition of any Metal
Brass
Undoubtedly the most commonly used non-precious Metal in Jewelry- Brass is an economical alternative for those looking for gold-colored jewelry without breaking the bank. Brass is composed of over 95% Copper- the rest of its composition is additional metals that assist with castability, workability, and color.
Benefits of Brass:
- Rich and Vibrant Gold Color
- High Resistance to Tarnish
- Resistance to Breakage
- Cost-Efficient
Ancient Bronze
Looking for a Gold-colored Metal, but want the added benefit of a patina to enhance the details of your piece? Ancient Bronze is the go-to. Unlike Brass- Ancient Bronze is not as resistant to tarnish. This gives it the added ability- like Sterling Silver- to be patinaed intentionally and repolished to highlight and contrast details. Especially pertinent to my sculptural and highly detailed designs.
Benefits of Ancient Bronze:
- Ability to Patina for Enhanced Details (view image)
- Resistance to Bending
- Cost-Efficient
