DURABLE GEMSTONES AND METALS THAT ADD REAL VALUE TO HIGH-END LUXURY MEN’S JEWELRY

Clients who wear Sauro modern men’s jewelry with great pride on a day-to-day basis appreciate the superior craftsmanship, luxurious accents, and premium materials of the finest jewelry pieces made in Italy.

This refined clientele is interested solely in beautifully crafted adornments that incorporate durable, highly resistant gemstones and metals, and can be seen both as masterpieces for personal adornment, and commodities considered smart long-term investments.

Three of the Most Durable Metals Incorporated by Luxury Jewelry

Luxury buyers who contemplate the charm and unmatched beauty of Italian designs are seeking durable, never-seen-before works of art that complement their personal style.

Those who are willing to pay the right price for embellishments that go beyond ephemeral trends, and have the design particularities and strength required to become a part of a family’s heritage, look for jewelry made of gold, silver, and platinum. These three materials are recognized as the most durable metals for luxury jewelry.

1.Platinum – Platinum is a hard metal with a 4-4.5 rating on the Mohs scale. Its silvery hues resemble the color of white gold; however, platinum is more resistant than gold. For this reason, this metal is a great setting for precious gems. Jewelry listed as platinum must incorporate at least 50% pure platinum.

Known for its remarkable hardness, platinum also has a couple of downsides. Despite being harder than gold in its purest form, platinum is actually known for its brittleness, which makes it more difficult to repair. Platinum will retain its bright finish for a shorter period of time, and can also be easier to scratch, compared to gold.

2. Gold – Gold is known as the most popular valuable metal for jewelry production. Pure gold is malleable, and requires different alloys to become a durable material that could be used to manufacture jewelry.

The metals that are added to increase the strength of gold will influence the color of the end product. For instance, white gold with a yellowish-white tone is usually a mix of silver and gold. Copper added to gold increases its resistance, while also contributing to a delightful rose tone.

3. Silver – Pure silver is just as soft as pure gold. Sterling silver contains 92.5% silver, and has a fineness of 925. To improve its strength, jewelers mix silver with copper.

Opting for a Durable Gemstone

Agelessly beautiful jewelry pieces, like those in the Sauro collection, incorporate durable settings and stunning gemstones that are appreciated for their strength.

Diamonds, the iconic gems marketed as a girl’s best friends, cannot be scratched by any other material, and constitute a top choice for luxury buyers seeking durable and strong adornments that will live forever.

Sapphires and rubies can only be scratched by diamonds. Emeralds are also very resistant. When scratched, these stunning green gemstones can be re-oiled to restore their integrity and timeless appeal.

At the same time, aquamarines are famous for their strength, in spite the fact that they are not necessarily durable. These stones can be damaged by acids; this is why people should avoid wearing jewelry adorned with aquamarines when doing household chores.

Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and opals are other magnificent options suitable for prospects looking for resilient gemstones that could add value and colorful touches to their luxury designer jewelry.
