Gold does not rust, tarnish or corrode and is also malleable enough to fashion into jewelry. Twenty-four karat, generally too soft for daily wear, is the purest gold. To increase its durability 24 Karat gold is alloyed with other special metals. Be sure to always look for a karat mark such as l8K, 14K or 1OK in jewelry you are purchasing which legally indicates you are buying real gold. Paul's offers a wide array of gold jewelry including chains, rings, earrings, bracelets, crosses, charms and baby jewelry.
Platinum is among the purest, rarest and most durable metals on earth.
Because of its neutral color, platinum enhances a stones brilliance and is particularly well suited to use with diamonds of exceptional color. When choosing a cultured pearl strand there are several factors to consider. Nacre has the ability to absorb and reflect light thus creating the special luster and iridescence characteristic of pearls. The surface of a pearl should be satiny smooth. The presence of blemishes and irregularities lessen their value.
