Choosing a Jewellery Metal : A Quick Guide

  • 06/06/2017
  • by adminwryght

Struggling to pick which colour metal jewellery you should buy? Then here is a quick guide to help you decide and snag a new favourite piece to compliment your wardrobe.

There are three mains considerations for choosing a jewellery metal : skin tone, wardrobe colours and other jewellery.

Skin tone

Just like certain clothes colours look good on certain skin tones, particular metals also look good on particular skin tones.

  • Cool skin tones : tend to be complimented by cooler metal colours like silver, white gold and platinum.
  • Warm skin tones : tend to be complimented by warmer metal colours like brass, copper and yellow and rose golds.
  • Neutral skin tones : have the benefit of looking great in both cool and warm metal colours aka free range on all metals.

Wardrobe colours

Choosing a specific metal for jewellery can be a great way to compliment or contrast the main colours in your wardrobe.

  • Black, white and grey : for contrast consider adding copper or brass, for subtlety add a splash of silver.
  • Green, blue and purple : silver and brass will tend to compliment these hues where copper will add contrast.
  • Red, yellow and orange : be aware that copper and brass that might clash tonally, add silver for a guaranteed complimentary dash.

Other Jewellery

Some women have a favourite jewellery metal, consistently seen in the matching jewellery metals, normally either gold or silver. Other women will mix their metals but this is normally a minority, though mixing is becoming more popular.

  • Gold lovers : an addition of brass will fit nicely with other golden items without the hefty price tag.
  • Silver lovers : obviously a purchase of silver will be loved.
  • Rose gold lovers : an addition of silver or copper will compliment this trend for rose gold.
  • Mixed metals lover or unsure : a splash of copper is most likely to please.

The above guide should help you choose a jewellery metals, but if you are wild at heart, or even just a little bit daring, adding a mixture of jewellery metals to match your daily mood or outfit of the day.

Silver : A Brief Introduction

  • 16/05/201716/05/2017
  • by Claire Wryght

Silver is one of the world’s most popular metals, precious but (more) affordable, vastly recyclable and still mined in Australia.

Pure silver is extremely soft which is why other metals are added in small amounts. There are four silver standards :
Sterling : 92.5% and 7.5% copper and stamped 925
Britannia : 95.8% and 4.2% copper and stamped 952
Argentium : can be either 93.5% or 95.84% balanced with copper and germanium
Fine : 99.9% with the balance of either copper, lead or zinc. This is the investment grade held in bullion.

Around one quarter of the production of silver is from recycled materials, aided by silver’s natural resistance to corrosion. All the silver metal sheet used at Wryght Designs is produced from recycled metal.

Silver is used in many forms, coins, jewellery, tableware and utensils, photographic film, medical instruments, investment bullion, x-rays and even solar panels. It is renowned for it high shine, durability and conductivity.

Did you know that although silver occurs in natural deposits, the majority of modern production is a byproduct of refining copper, lead, zinc and even gold?

Brass : A Brief Introduction

Brass is formed mixture copper and zinc, officially an alloy of the two metals in varying ratios. The ratio gives brass both its level of goldenness and its metal hardness.

Brass is best known for it’s golden yellow colour. This means it matches well with gold jewellery without the hefty price tag

Historically it was regarded for it’s high workability with hand tools, it could be worked without the use of a furnace and held up well to forming.

Common brass items include musical instruments for malleability and cost, door furniture for low fiction, bells for durability and naval application for their resistance to water damage.

Copper : A Brief Introduction

  • 01/05/201711/05/2017
  • by Claire Wryght

Copper is a base metal with a red orange metallic lustre. Pure copper is 100% recyclable without impacting quality, a highly sustainable metal, as recycling involves less processing than extraction.

Copper was first discovered in the Middle East up 9000 BC thanks to the metal naturally occurring as deposits called ‘stars’

Common copper uses include:

  • plumbing for it’s durability and corrosion resistance,
  • wiring for it’s electrical conductivity and flexibility, and
  • architecture as the metal’s distinctive green patina makes the copper weatherproof.

Copper salts are also responsible for the green colouring of minerals like turquoise, azurite and malachite.
