Metals

Gemesis Diamond Company jewelry is available in 14K and 18K white and yellow gold and select styles are available in platinum. Gold won't tarnish, rust, or corrode, and though it's very strong, it is also the most malleable of all metals.

The color of gold is determined by two factors:

1. The type of metal alloys included in it.
2. The percentage of each metal alloy.

White Gold

Alloying gold with white metals and plating it with a naturally hard element like rhodium transforms the color of gold from yellow to white. Gemesis fully complies with all federal regulations and international fine jewelry standards for pure metal content in its products. Gemesis maintains gold purities at 75% for 18K, 58.33 for 14K.

Yellow Gold

Gold in its natural form has a warm and rich yellow color, which has been its allure for centuries. Modern jewelry manufacturing techniques add alloys like copper and silver to the gold to make the naturally soft metal harder and durable. Gemesis fully complies with all federal regulations and international fine jewelry standards for pure metal content in its products. Gemesis maintains gold purities at 75% for 18K, 58.33 for 14K.

Platinum

One of the rarest and most valuable of precious metals, platinum is also extremely strong and durable due to its hardness (twice that of pure gold). Platinum won't rust, tarnish or corrode. Gemesis fully complies with all federal regulations and international fine jewelry standards for pure metal content in its products. Platinum items are 95% pure.
