All of my Silver settings are made from solid (never plated) Argentium® .935 Silver. It shines like 10k white gold. It is harder, tarnish resistant and shines brighter than Sterling Silver. I am a proud member of the Argentium® Silver Guild and stock Argentium® Silver.

All of my Gold settings are solid (never plated) USA grade 10k, 14k or 18k Gold in Yellow, White or Rose. I can also get Platinum and Palladium. Gold is brighter, stronger and more durable for a lifetime of continuous wear. Gold is ordered as you purchase it, taking approximately 3 weeks.

Suggestion - If you are purchasing a wedding ring, or for any occasion that you will wear it constantly, i highly suggest that you purchas Gold. This is especially true for rings with small accent stones. While my Argentium® is harder than regular silver, it is not as hard as Gold.

costfactors
In addition to the price of the metal you choose, other cost factors dictate the quality, craftsmanship and the final price of a piece of jewelry.
​
-
The more metal that is used – the higher the price. Thin metal designs cost less than thick metal designs. My jewelry is designed and created as thick metal designs so the piece will last, and they are cast as one piece - not soldered strips of metal.
​
-
I craft all of my rings as “comfort fit” (also known as D-shape), which means more metal (and bench work) is done to round the edges of the shank. The cost is well worth it to give my customers the best in a fine piece of jewelry that they can be proud to wear and own.

-
The type of metal used - Argentium® silver is more expensive than sterling silver. However, the benefits of it outweigh the cost factor. It shines like 10k white gold, is harder, tarnish resistant and shines brighter than sterling silver.
