Pure 24k gold is soft and easily bent while 14k gold is mixed with other metals that potentially dull the color of your gold bracelet.Our silver bracelets are crafted from the highest-quality pure sterling silver, and all are inspected for a fineness mark to ensure quality. Our sterling silver charm bracelets and charms are created exclusively for Blue Nile. Our high-quality charms feature a custom lobster claw, designed to precisely fit either of our unique bracelets.
Diamonds are Graceful and elegant
Before you consider buying a diamond, it is important to understand the four “C’s”. C’s of diamonds they are: colour, clarity, cut, and carats. In recent years platinum has become the choice for diamond jewellery as the metal is very hard and durable complimenting the gemstone properties. Graceful and elegant it looks spectacular no matter what else you are wearing.There are few pieces of jewellery that can take your breath away like a Diamond Solitaire Necklace. The Diamond Solitaire Necklace is one of the most classic and enduring designs - simple, elegant and wearable. Each of these will have an impact on the finished product. Good choices for diamonds are 18ct gold or platinum. They are excellent indicators of the value of the diamond.
How Durable is My Gemstone Jewellery?
First of all a note about the hardness and therefore relative durability of gemstones. To measure hardness, the jewellery industry uses the Mohs scale. This gem-trade standard, conceived by Friedrich Mohs in 1812, measures the ability of a gem or mineral to resist abrasion damage.Diamond at 10 is the hardest whereas talc at 1 is the softest. Popular gemstones like amethyst and citrine register 7 whereas rubies and sapphires register 9. Most of us come off the beach on the first day with the 3 s’s all achieved - rings caked in sand, sea-salt and suntan lotion. Nude sunbathing, as far as silver and gold jewellery is concerned, is a must! Remember also that sand will scratch the surface of precious metals.
