Precious Metals & Finishes
In fine jewelry, metal is not a backdrop—it is a defining element. At Polmeri, we offer a curated selection of precious metals, each chosen for its distinct beauty, strength, and resonance.
From enduring classics to contemporary expressions, every metal carries its own character. Understanding these nuances allows you to select a material that aligns not only with your aesthetic, but with your lifestyle—ensuring your piece endures with grace over time.
Gold
Timeless. Versatile. Enduring.
Gold has long symbolized permanence, beauty, and devotion. Treasured for its natural radiance and inherent strength, it remains a foundational element in fine jewelry.
At Polmeri, we offer gold in three tones—yellow, white, and rose—each alloyed for durability while retaining the richness of pure gold. Whether you seek timeless warmth, modern clarity, or romantic subtlety, gold offers a refined canvas to express your style.
Gold Tones
Yellow Gold
The purest expression of tradition. With its warm, golden hue, yellow gold flatters every skin tone and brings a sense of timeless richness to both classic and contemporary designs.
White Gold
A modern essential. Created by alloying pure gold with white metals and finished with a rhodium coating, white gold offers a cool-toned elegance—ideal for diamonds and refined minimalism.
Rose Gold
Soft and distinctive. Rose gold blends pure gold with copper to create a blush-toned warmth that feels both modern and intimate—perfect for those who seek quiet distinction.
Understanding Gold Purity
Gold is measured in karats (K), indicating its purity. Pure gold (24K) is naturally soft and typically alloyed for durability.
-
24K Gold – 99.9% pure
Deeply rich but delicate; rarely used in high-wear jewelry. -
22K Gold – 91.6% pure
Traditionally favored in cultural jewelry; warm but softer. -
18K Gold – 75% pure
A luxurious standard; balances purity with durability. -
14K Gold – 58.3% pure
Ideal for daily wear; resilient with a slightly lighter hue. -
10K Gold – 41.7% pure
Highly durable and accessible; more utilitarian in tone.
Refined Tip: For most Polmeri creations, we recommend 18K gold—a material that offers rich color, structural integrity, and lasting elegance.
Platinum
Enduring. Elegant. Uncompromising.
Platinum is prized for its natural purity, strength, and quietly luminous white hue. Rare and weighty, it possesses an inherent gravitas—an ideal medium for pieces that mark life’s most significant moments.
Unlike white gold, platinum is naturally white and will not fade, tarnish, or require re-plating. Its hypoallergenic composition and exceptional durability make it a preferred choice for sensitive skin and daily wear.
Platinum’s density offers superior security for diamonds and gemstones, while its refined patina deepens over time—a quiet testament to its enduring beauty. Designed to last for generations, platinum is more than a metal; it is permanence made tangible.
Sterling Silver
Luminous. Understated. Enduring.
Sterling silver brings a cool, contemporary elegance to fine jewelry. Composed of 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength, it offers durability while retaining the softness and luminosity that define its appeal.
Versatile by nature, silver transitions effortlessly—from quiet minimalism to sculptural boldness. Whether worn alone or layered, it lends a refined ease that moves seamlessly between day and evening.
Over time, sterling silver develops a natural patina, deepening its character and creating a piece uniquely yours. With mindful care, it remains a lifelong companion in both form and feeling.
Refined Tip: To minimize tarnish, store silver pieces in anti-tarnish cloths or airtight containers, away from moisture and direct light.
Alternative Metals & Finishes
Modern Materials. Distinctive Expression.
For those drawn to contemporary design, performance-driven wear, or subtle individuality, Polmeri offers a curated selection of alternative metals and refined finishes—each selected for its unique character and enduring appeal.
Alternative Metals
Titanium
Featherlight yet exceptionally strong, titanium offers a modern, understated aesthetic with unmatched durability. Naturally hypoallergenic and highly resistant to corrosion, it’s ideal for sensitive skin and active lifestyles.
Stainless Steel
Minimalist in form and resilient in function, stainless steel combines polished elegance with everyday strength. Its clean lines and low-maintenance nature make it a versatile choice for those who value simplicity with substance.
Metal Finishes
The surface finish of a piece can transform its tone—from luminous to restrained, from classic to tactile. Polmeri offers a refined palette of finishes to complement your design language:
- High Polish – A mirror-like surface that captures and reflects light for timeless brilliance.
- Matte (Satin) – A softly muted finish with minimal reflectivity for understated sophistication.
- Brushed – Linear texture adds depth and quiet movement, offering a modern, artisanal feel.
- Hammered – Light indentations create an organic texture that plays subtly with light and form.
- Sandblasted – A fine, frosted surface for a velvety matte effect—perfect for a quiet, refined statement.
Each finish imparts a distinct mood and texture, allowing your piece to align precisely with your personal style.
