gold

We have worked in white, yellow, red, rose, and green gold.  we generally work in 14k gold because we like the way it holds its form.  We use different alloys of white gold, one recipe contains nickel and others contain palladium.  We generally do not use rhodium plating on either of them.

metals

platinum

We are very proficient with platinum

our recipe calls for a small amount of ruthenium

which makes it more scratch resistant than other alloys.

Platinum is a pure white metal

although scratches appear easier than other  metals, when worn on a daily basis,

the metal is actually harder than most

and is very resistant to erosion.

palladium

A sister metal to platinum

palladium is also a pure white metal

that is a lighter and more inexpensive alternative to  platinum

---we feel that palladium has a more "white" look than platinum,

which to us is grayer in appearance.

Palladium is a great metal for bigger pieces as its weight is conducive to more metal expanse, but does not always do well with delicate designs.

stainless steel

The stainless steel jewelry that we carry and design is generally the highest grade of steel alloy, 316L, the same steel you will find on our Mido watches.

We are able to caste and customize some steel designs, we are also very proud of the fact that our steel wedding bands are sourced from a local artisan, who designs and fabricates in boulder.

bronze

Bronze is a mixture of copper and tin, we think it is a rustic juxtaposition to our often more modern soft white metal finishes.

Generally bronze is best used for pendant and dog tag pieces.
