Silver, gold, titanium, brass — how to choose a material for jewelry

The choice of material affects the look, durability, price and positioning of a brand. Here is a short guide.

Silver and gold

Silver 925 and gold are the premium classics — durable and easy to finish.

Titanium is light, durable and hypoallergenic, with anodized colours.

Cheaper base metals, often silver- or gold-plated — for fashion jewelry and accessories.
