Choosing the best materials for everyday wear jewellery is essential if you want pieces that remain beautiful for years to come. Whether you’re investing in a new ring, necklace or bracelet, selecting a durable metal can help your jewellery withstand daily life while maintaining its appearance.
At Bespoke Jewellery and Watch Repairs in Essex, we have over 30 years of experience designing, repairing and restoring jewellery. Our expert team works with a wide range of precious metals, helping customers choose pieces that combine style, comfort and long-lasting quality.
Platinum – Built to Last
Platinum is one of the most durable precious metals available, making it an excellent choice for jewellery you’ll wear every day. It naturally resists wear, securely holds gemstones and develops a soft patina over time rather than losing metal through polishing.
Although platinum is often more expensive than other metals, its longevity makes it a worthwhile investment for engagement rings, wedding bands and treasured family heirlooms.
Gold – A Timeless Favourite
Gold remains one of the most popular choices for everyday jewellery. Different gold alloys offer varying levels of durability:
- 18ct Gold offers a luxurious appearance with excellent durability.
- 14ct Gold is slightly harder, making it ideal for frequent wear.
- 9ct Gold provides a practical and affordable option while remaining durable for everyday use.
White, yellow and rose gold each have their own unique style, allowing you to choose a finish that suits your personal taste.
Silver for Everyday Style
Sterling silver is a beautiful option for earrings, necklaces and bracelets. While it is softer than gold or platinum and may tarnish over time, regular cleaning and occasional polishing will keep it looking its best.
If your favourite silver jewellery becomes worn or damaged, professional repairs and polishing can restore its original shine.
Caring for Your Jewellery
Even the highest-quality jewellery benefits from routine maintenance. Regular inspections can identify loose stones, worn claws or damaged settings before they become costly repairs.
At Bespoke Jewellery and Watch Repairs, we offer professional jewellery repairs, polishing, resizing, stone replacement and bespoke remodelling, all carried out with exceptional care by experienced craftspeople. Every repair is completed in-house and backed by a one-year guarantee for added peace of mind.
