Alloys

Gold

Gold is prized for its rustproof qualities, as it resists tarnishing and corrosion. Jewelers value gold not only for its durability but also for its malleability, allowing it to be crafted into intricate designs. However, pure 24-karat gold is often too soft for most jewelry applications, so alloying it with other metals improves its strength and versatility.

By combining gold with select metals, jewelers create a variety of gold colors, including yellow, rose, and white gold. At Majestic Diamonds, Inc., we offer a range of options in 14k, 18k, and 19k white and yellow gold, as well as rose gold in 14k and 18k, allowing you to choose from an array of vibrant colors.

About White Gold

White gold is created by alloying gold with metals like nickel, palladium, or silver. At Majestic Diamonds, Inc., we offer white gold options in 14k, 18k, and 19k. Because white gold retains a slight yellow tint, it undergoes a final plating in rhodium, a shiny, durable metal that provides the brilliant white finish we associate with white gold jewelry.

Caring for Gold Jewelry

To maintain the beauty and value of your gold jewelry, proper care is essential. Majestic Diamonds, Inc. offers a professional-grade cleaner to keep your jewelry lustrous between professional cleanings.

For best results, avoid ultrasonic cleaning devices or professional-grade cleaners without professional guidance, as improper use may damage your jewelry.

Additionally, store your pieces in a fabric-lined box or pouch to prevent scratches, and inspect your jewelry regularly. If you notice any loose settings or prongs, visit Majestic Diamonds, Inc. for an assessment by one of our professional jewelers.

Majestic Diamonds, Inc. offers platinum jewelry crafted from the finest quality 950-grade platinum. Platinum is exceptionally rare—35 times rarer than gold—and is nearly twice as heavy as 14k gold. Known as the strongest precious metal used in jewelry, platinum’s natural purity (90-95%) makes it hypoallergenic, ideal for those with sensitive skin. This purity surpasses even that of 24k gold, making platinum a preferred choice for those seeking both beauty and durability.

Caring for Platinum Jewelry

To preserve the enduring beauty and value of your platinum jewelry, proper care is essential. Store your jewelry in its original, fabric-lined box or pouch when not in use. Majestic Diamonds, Inc. offers a variety of fabric-lined boxes and pouches, which can also serve as polishing cloths to maintain your platinum’s luster.

We also carry specialized foaming cleaners designed for use between professional cleanings. Avoid ultrasonic cleaning devices or other professional-grade cleaners without consulting a professional, as improper use may damage the jewelry.

Inspect the settings regularly, especially if you notice any prongs that appear loose or misaligned. Platinum is durable, but it’s best to avoid contact with rough surfaces. If you detect any damage, visit Majestic Diamonds, Inc., where our experts can assist with repairs or maintenance.

Majestic Diamonds, Inc. offers an exquisite collection of sterling silver jewelry crafted by some of the industry’s most talented artisans. With a purity level of over 90% silver, sterling silver is celebrated for its quality, far surpassing silver-plated alternatives in both durability and value. Unlike silver plating, sterling silver maintains its volume and quality over time.

Caring for Sterling Silver

With proper care, fine-quality sterling silver will last a lifetime. To protect it, store your silver jewelry separately from other items, using either a designated drawer in your jewelry box or a cloth pouch. Remove sterling silver jewelry before swimming or cleaning, as exposure to ammonia, bleach, or chlorinated water can damage the metal.

Silver naturally tarnishes over time due to exposure to sulfur and hydrogen sulfide in the air. Regular wear helps to prevent rapid tarnish buildup, but it’s best to act as soon as tarnish is visible. For optimal results, use our specialized silver polishes available at Majestic Diamonds, Inc. to restore shine and maintain the beauty of your sterling silver jewelry.
