Metal Suitability Finder

Choose daily-wear needs, skin sensitivity, colour preference, maintenance level, and product purpose to compare suitable jewellery metals and finishes.

Daily wear, low maintenance

Best fit: 14K gold, stainless steel, or platinum

Daily pieces need strength, stable colour, and simple care. For fine jewellery, 14K gold is often the balanced choice. Stainless steel can work for accessible fashion jewellery. Platinum is premium and durable when appropriate for the category.

What buyers should inspect

  • Metal stamp or supplier material confirmation
  • Clasp and chain strength
  • Care notes for sweat, moisture, and chemicals

Best for customers who want jewellery they can wear often with straightforward care.

Sensitive skin concern

Best fit: verified nickel-safe materials

Do not rely on vague hypoallergenic claims. Ask for product-level material details and nickel status. Solid gold, platinum, titanium, and some stainless steels may be suitable depending on alloy and verification.

What buyers should inspect

  • Nickel status documentation
  • Base metal details for plated pieces
  • Earring post material
  • Return policy for sensitivity complaints

Recommended when customers ask for clearer material information before purchase.

Gold look at accessible price

Best fit: gold vermeil or gold plated jewellery

Gold vermeil and plated jewellery can support trend-led ranges and giftable price points. The important details are base metal, plating thickness, surface preparation, and accurate care guidance.

What buyers should inspect

  • Base metal
  • Plating thickness if available
  • Colour consistency
  • High-contact wear areas

Retailer care-card copy

Use this wording

A practical option for customers who want the gold look at a more accessible price point.

Premium gift or milestone piece

Best fit: 14K or 18K gold

Premium gifts need lasting material value and confident product claims. 14K gold is practical for everyday fine jewellery; 18K gold gives richer gold content and more luxury positioning.

What buyers should inspect

  • Karat confirmation
  • Hallmarking where applicable
  • Stone setting security
  • Gift packaging quality

Retailer care-card copy

Best for milestone gifting, bridal moments, and customers seeking fine-jewellery value.
