Precious Metals Guide
The Pinnacle of Prestige
Platinum
Platinum is celebrated for its unparalleled durability and stunning silvery-white appearance. As one of the most prestigious metals used in fine jewellery, platinum is incredibly resistant to tarnish and wear, making it an ideal choice for pieces that are worn frequently, such as engagement rings and wedding bands. Its hypoallergenic properties also make it suitable for those with sensitive skin. At Charles Edward Jewellers, our platinum pieces are crafted to showcase this metal’s natural beauty and enduring quality.
Romantic and Unique
Rose Gold
Rose gold has gained popularity for its warm, pinkish hue, which adds a romantic and unique touch to any jewellery piece. This metal is an alloy of gold and copper, giving it both strength and its distinctive colour. Rose gold is highly versatile and complements a wide range of skin tones, making it a favourite for both modern and vintage-inspired designs. At Charles Edward Jewellers, we offer rose gold jewellery that highlights this metal’s enchanting and contemporary appeal.
Sleek and Sophisticated
White Gold
White gold is known for its sleek, sophisticated look, resembling platinum but at a more accessible price point. This metal is created by alloying pure gold with white metals like palladium or nickel and is often coated with rhodium to enhance its brightness and durability. While the rhodium plating may wear off over time, it can be easily reapplied to maintain the metal’s lustrous appearance. Our collection of white gold jewellery at Charles Edward Jewellers is designed to showcase its modern elegance and timeless beauty.
Classic and Timeless
Yellow Gold
Yellow gold has been a staple in jewellery for centuries, valued for its rich, warm colour and enduring appeal. Made by alloying pure gold with metals like copper and zinc, yellow gold retains its colour and lustre over time, requiring minimal maintenance. Its natural, radiant hue makes it a classic choice for all types of jewellery, from rings and bracelets to necklaces and earrings. At Charles Edward Jewellers, we offer yellow gold pieces that celebrate this metal’s timeless charm and versatility.
