While the idea of “better” is a subjective one, there are different types of jewelry metals—such as silver, platinum, and stainless steel—each of which comes with its own pros and cons. The choice of material ultimately comes down to several important factors such as skin coloring, type and frequency of wear, allergy requirements, pricing, as well as plain aesthetic preference. If you’re able to, it’s a good idea to experiment with wearing different metals to find the one that’s best suited to you and your lifestyle.
