When it comes to fine jewelry, the metal is just as essential as the gemstone it embraces. At Polmeri, we offer a curated selection of precious metals and finishes, each chosen for its unique beauty, strength, and character. From timeless classics to modern elegance, every metal tells its own story. Understanding the qualities of each allows you to select a piece that not only reflects your personal style, but also suits your lifestyle and endures beautifully over time.
Gold
Timeless, radiant, and eternally treasured — gold has been a symbol of luxury and love for centuries. Valued for its natural beauty and enduring strength, gold is one of the most coveted metals in fine jewelry.
Available in yellow, white, and rose tones, gold offers versatility to match every style and skin tone. Pure gold (24K) is soft and malleable, so it’s often alloyed with other metals to enhance durability — most fine jewelry is crafted in 14K or 18K, offering the perfect balance of richness and resilience.
Whether you’re drawn to the warmth of yellow gold, the modern elegance of white gold, or the romantic blush of rose gold, each variation brings a unique character to the piece it adorns.
Refined, wearable, and forever classic — gold is more than a material; it’s a statement of grace and intention.
Yellow Gold
Classic and enduring, yellow gold embodies the timeless warmth and richness of traditional fine jewelry. Its natural golden hue flatters all skin tones and pairs beautifully with both vintage and modern designs.
White Gold
Sleek, modern, and timelessly elegant, white gold is crafted by alloying pure gold with white metals like palladium or nickel, then finished with a rhodium coating for added brilliance. Its cool tone beautifully complements diamonds and offers a sophisticated alternative to traditional yellow gold.
Rose Gold
With its warm, blush-pink hue, rose gold offers a romantic and modern twist on traditional gold. Created by blending pure gold with copper, this metal exudes softness and elegance, making it a favorite for those who love a subtle yet distinctive glow.
