Simulant Diamond
Are simulated diamonds and synthetic diamonds the same? Absolutely not! One is really a diamond, and the other isn’t. Though the distinction is simple, it’s one that confuses a lot of people. That’s because all over the jewelry industry, all over the Internet, and all over the grapevine, the two terms are still used interchangeably—but shouldn’t be.
-
Simulated diamonds are also known as diamond simulants and include things like cubic zirconia (CZ), moissanite, and YAG. They can also include some natural clear gemstones like white sapphire, white zircon or even clear quartz.
-
-
Synthetic diamonds are also known as laboratory-grown diamonds, laboratory-created diamonds, cultured diamonds, or cultivated diamonds. They are real diamonds but not grown by Mother Nature.
-
And here is a simple way to help you remember:
-
Simulated sounds like similar.
-
Synthetic sounds like authentic.
White Gold
White gold combines pure gold with other white metals, such as zinc, nickel, platinum and silver. White gold is brittle and requires platinum or rhodium plating.
Pros: White gold is made to be a more affordable alternative to platinum. Platinum and white gold look virtually the same when new, but over time they wear differently over time.
Cons: Eventually the rhodium on white gold will wear off, and the slight yellow tint from the gold will appear.
Care: Clean your white gold jewelry with soap, water and a dull, soft toothbrush.
Gold
As jewelry, gold's softness and natural beauty makes it attractive and appealing. It also doesn't corrode or tarnish. However, pure gold is so soft that it's rarely used in jewelry. It's important to balance gold purity with the durability when you're selecting jewelry. Items like rings and bracelets usually take on more abuse and are much likely to become deformed if softer gold is used. Therefore, 14 kt + gold may be a better selection for rings and bracelets. The lower karats of gold tend to be a bit stronger. A higher karat of gold indicates a higher purity.
Pros: Pure gold pieces, with proper care, should last forever.
Cons: Pure gold is an expensive metal, and can be softer and less durable than other metals.
Care: Keep gold jewelry away from chemicals and clean them regularly with a mild, soapy, solution, then rinse and pat dry with a gentle cloth. Gently polish with a jewelry polishing cloth.
Palladium
Palladium is rare, lustrous, and naturally white metal. It has the purity and white tone of platinum but is less dense, therefore making it more affordable.
Pros: Most people can't tell palladium and platinum jewelry apart. Palladium is also a far more affordable option. It does not tarnish or loose its white color
Cons: Because of the difficulties in manufacturing palladium, the range of jewelry items available is limited.
Care: It's best to store palladium pieces in separate compartments of your jewelry box or in soft fabric pouches to avoid scratching. Clean your palladium jewelry with a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth
Platinum
Platinum is an extremely rare metal and considered more precious than gold. It's a silvery-white, heavier metal. As with other metals, platinum is commonly mixed with other metals. A piece of jewelry must contain at least 95% pure platinum to be labeled at "platinum". A purity level of less than 95% would requires the ID platinum alloy.
Pros: Though platinum is relatively soft and bends more easily than gold, it's a great option for jewelry because of its abrasive resistance. Over time, platinum develops a rich finish, called a patina, but it doesn’t wear away.
Cons: Platinum is priced significantly higher than gold.
Care: Store these pieces separately so they don’t get scratched by other items. Wash platinum with a mild solution of soap and warm water, and gently rub it with a soft cloth.
Rose Gold
Rose gold is an alloy that combines gold with copper to create a golden metal with a reddish hue. A gold to copper ratio of 3:1 is normally used, but varying percentages of each can be found. Based on the addition of copper, the intensity of rose gold will be lighter or darker. Pink gold uses the least amount of copper is followed by rose gold. Red gold has the highest copper content.
Pros: Rose gold is a fresh change from the more normal white metals and yellow gold.
Cons: It can tend to tarnish quicker than most other gold alloys because of the high copper content.
Care: Rose gold can be maintained just like yellow or white. Clean your rose gold jewelry with soap, water and a dull, soft toothbrush.
