As a jewelry brand, we want to be transparent about the types of metals we use in our jewelry. If we're saying that our fidget jewelry is high-quality, we need to share the evidence to back up that claim.
When we talk about jewelry metals, we don't mean gold or silver. We're talking about what's actually used to create the jewelry, not the appearance of it. Different types of metals have different durability and can affect how much the jewelry costs.
Since our jewelry has a functional purpose beyond being fashionable, we want to make sure that our jewelry doesn't break easily or need to be replaced often. Because of this, we are constantly conducting research to ensure that we're making our fidget jewelry with high-quality materials. In this post, we will explore:
- The five different types of jewelry metals
- Why knowing what metal is used in jewelry is important
- What type of jewelry metal you can expect from CONQUERing
The Five Different Types of Jewelry Metals
Through our research, we've identified five different types of metals jewelry can be made out of. Each type of metal is used in the manufacturing of jewelry for different reasons based on the different benefits they have to offer.
This chart outlines the five different types of jewelry metals, how durable and affordable they are, and if you can wear them if you experience allergies to different types of jewelry.
| Metal | Scratch Resistance | Bend Resistance | Break Resistance | Tarnish Resistance | Affordability | Sustainability for Those with Allergies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sterling Silver | Low | Very Low | Low | Low | Medium | Low |
| Platinum | Medium | Medium | High | High | Very Low | High |
| Titanium | Medium | Highest | Very High | Very High | Low | High |
| Stainless Steel | High | High | High | Highest | Highest | Highest |
| Tungsten | Highest | High | Low | Very High | Medium | Medium |

As you can see, there are many different reasons that a jewelry brand might decide to use a specific type of metal to make their jewelry. We've highlighted the type of metal we use in our fidget jewelry. Later in this blog, we'll discuss why we chose that type and will share some reviews from our customers!
The Metal In Your Jewelry Matters More Than You Think
Before you make any purchase, it's important to think about how you plan to use what you buy and how much you're willing to spend. For example, for jewelry you plan to wear once, you should purchase a lower-quality metal that is sold at a low cost.
When it comes to jewelry, the questions you likely have are related to durability and affordability. If you're looking for jewelry that you can wear everyday, you'll definitely want to choose a metal that is scratch resistant, bend resistant, break resistant, and isn't likely to tarnish.
Once you've decided which metals have high durability, you'll then want to think about how much you're willing to pay for your jewelry. It's definitely possible to find jewelry that's durable without paying luxury prices.
To ensure you don't end up wasting your money, it's important that you know what metal is used in the jewelry you're interested in purchasing.
What Type of Metal Does CONQUERing Use?
As we highlighted in the chart above, we use sterling silver in our fidget jewelry. Sterling silver ranks high against all types of resistance, is affordable, and is also sustainable for people with allergies to different metals.
Sterling silver jewelry is meant to last through daily wear. It also allows us to keep our prices reasonable. We can also guarantee that our jewelry is able to be worn by people with allergies to lower-quality jewelry.
In addition to conducting research on the best metal we could use when making our jewelry, the feedback we get from our customers is just as valuable. If we were getting a bunch of negative reviews about our fidget jewelry breaking, tarnishing, or causing allergic reactions, we would reassess the type of metal we use. However, the positive reviews we have received affirm that we're making the right choices for our products:
- "Great quality and durability. Feels and looks great!...I'll definitely be back for more!!"—Rebecca about the Rose Gold Classic Ring Band
- "I am completely obsessed with my CONQUERing...Just the overall quality and durability of this ring is unmatched."—Chelsea about the CONQUERing Classic Ring Band
- "An affordable luxury you won't regret."—Samantha about the ViaDeco CrossBar Element
