Metal Options

Fine Jewelry Metal Options

The metal you choose plays an important role in the overall appearance, durability and character of your jewelry. From the timeless warmth of yellow gold to the soft, distinctive glow of champagne yellow gold, each precious metal offers its own unique beauty.

At Mark Broumand, our fine jewelry is crafted in carefully selected precious metals designed to complement exceptional diamonds and gemstones. Explore our available metal options to discover the color, composition and finish that best suit your personal style.

Understanding Gold Karat

The karat indicates the proportion of pure gold contained within a piece of jewelry. Because pure 24k gold is naturally soft, it is combined with other metals to improve its strength, durability and color.

14k gold contains approximately 58.5% pure gold. It is valued for its durability and is an excellent choice for jewelry intended for frequent or everyday wear.

18k gold contains approximately 75% pure gold. Its higher gold content creates a richer color and a luxurious feel while remaining durable enough for fine jewelry.

The precise appearance of each gold color may vary slightly depending on its alloy composition, finish and surrounding diamonds or gemstones.

14k Gold Options

14k Yellow Gold

Classic and endlessly versatile, 14k yellow gold offers a warm golden color with excellent durability. Its balanced tone complements nearly every skin tone and pairs beautifully with both colorless and fancy color diamonds.

Because of its strength and approachable golden hue, 14k yellow gold is a popular choice for engagement rings, wedding bands, earrings, necklaces and everyday jewelry.

14k White Gold

14k white gold offers the bright, contemporary appearance of a white metal with the durability of a gold alloy. Its cool tone beautifully enhances the crisp, icy appearance of white diamonds and creates a polished, modern look.

White gold jewelry is commonly finished with rhodium plating to achieve its luminous white appearance. Over time, the plating may gradually wear and can be professionally refreshed as needed.

14k Rose Gold

Romantic and softly luminous, 14k rose gold receives its blush-toned color from the metals blended with pure gold. Its warm pink hue offers a distinctive alternative to traditional yellow or white metals without feeling overly bold.

14k rose gold is especially beautiful in vintage-inspired designs, diamond bands and modern jewelry with sculptural details.

14k Champagne Yellow Gold

14k champagne yellow gold offers a softer and more subdued interpretation of traditional yellow gold. Its refined golden tone falls between classic yellow gold and warmer neutral shades, creating an elegant setting for both white and champagne-colored diamonds.

Understated yet distinctive, champagne yellow gold is ideal for those drawn to warm metals with a modern, sophisticated finish.

18k Gold Options

18k Yellow Gold

With its higher pure-gold content, 18k yellow gold has a rich, saturated color and a luxurious presence. Its unmistakable warmth provides a timeless foundation for fine jewelry and beautifully complements white diamonds, yellow diamonds and richly colored gemstones.

18k yellow gold is an exceptional choice for engagement rings, wedding bands and heirloom-quality pieces intended to be treasured for generations.

18k White Gold

18k white gold combines a high gold content with a bright, refined white appearance. It provides an elegant backdrop that allows diamonds to remain the visual focus while offering the substance and prestige associated with 18k gold.

Like 14k white gold, it is often rhodium plated to produce a crisp white finish. Periodic re-plating may be recommended depending on wear and personal preference.

18k Rose Gold

18k rose gold delivers a refined blush color with the richness of a higher gold content. Depending on the light and design, its tone may appear softly pink, warm or subtly golden.

Its romantic color pairs beautifully with white diamonds, champagne diamonds and intricate pavé details, making it a distinctive choice for both contemporary and vintage-inspired jewelry.

18k Champagne Yellow Gold

Signature in appearance and exceptionally sophisticated, 18k champagne yellow gold features a soft golden color with warm, muted undertones. It is less saturated than traditional yellow gold, giving it an elevated neutral quality that feels both modern and timeless.

Champagne yellow gold is particularly striking when paired with champagne, brown, yellow or near-colorless diamonds. Its nuanced tone enhances the warmth of a diamond without overpowering its natural beauty.

Platinum

Platinum is a naturally white precious metal known for its rarity, density and exceptional durability. Its cool white color does not require rhodium plating, making it an enduring choice for those who prefer a naturally white setting.

Rather than losing metal when scratched, platinum typically develops a soft surface patina over time. This subtle finish is appreciated by many for the character it gives a well-loved piece, though the jewelry may also be professionally polished to restore a brighter appearance.

Because of its strength and density, platinum is especially well suited to securing important diamonds and gemstones. It is a timeless choice for engagement rings, wedding bands and fine jewelry designed for lasting wear.

Choosing Between 14k and 18k Gold

Both 14k and 18k gold are beautiful choices for fine jewelry. The best option depends on your preferred color, lifestyle and desired gold content.

Choose 14k gold for increased durability, a slightly lighter gold color and jewelry that will be worn frequently.

Choose 18k gold for a richer color, higher pure-gold content and a more luxurious overall feel.

For white-metal jewelry, choose white gold for a bright finish with the option of periodic rhodium re-plating, or choose platinum for a naturally white, dense precious metal that develops its own distinctive patina.

Which Metal Best Complements a Diamond?

The ideal metal is ultimately a matter of personal preference, though different tones can subtly influence the appearance of a diamond.

White gold and platinum create a bright, seamless look around colorless diamonds. Yellow and rose gold provide beautiful contrast while adding warmth to the design. Champagne yellow gold offers a softer transition between the diamond and the setting and is especially flattering alongside warm, champagne or fancy color diamonds.

Many designs may also incorporate more than one metal color, such as a warm gold band with white prongs, to combine a preferred exterior color with a bright setting around the center diamond.

Caring for Precious Metals

Fine jewelry should be removed before strenuous activity or exposure to chlorine, bleach and harsh household chemicals. Store each piece separately to reduce scratching and clean it gently with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush when appropriate.

White gold may require occasional rhodium re-plating, while gold and platinum jewelry may be professionally polished to refresh its finish. We recommend periodic professional inspections to ensure that prongs, clasps and settings remain secure.

Discover Your Ideal Metal

From classic yellow gold and luminous platinum to our distinctive champagne yellow gold, the right precious metal enhances both the design of your jewelry and the beauty of its diamonds.
