Precious Metals

Gold, platinum, palladium and silver each behave differently, and these UK jewellers work, supply and advise on the right metal for you. The metal you choose affects colour, durability, weight and cost, so understanding precious metals helps you buy jewellery that both suits you and lasts. Choosing the Right Metal Platinum is dense, durable and naturally white, ideal for stone settings, while gold comes in yellow, white and rose and in different carats that trade purity for strength. Palladium offers a lighter white-metal option and silver suits more affordable pieces. A jeweller will match the metal to how a piece will be worn. Hallmarks and Purity In the UK, precious-metal items above a set weight must carry a hallmark from an assay office, confirming the metal and its fineness. Learning to read a hallmark protects you when buying, and the specialists here can explain the marks, test unmarked items and advise on plating such as rhodium for white gold.
