Gold vs Sterling Silver Jewelry

Both metals have advantages. Gold resists tarnish and carries higher intrinsic value. Sterling silver offers intricate detail at a lower cost and still holds its own when well made. Daily wear pieces in either metal benefit from solid construction rather than plating. Many people mix both in a collection. The choice usually comes down to preference, budget, and how the piece will be worn. Quality in either metal shows in the finishing and the feel. Peter Stone has been making solid .925 sterling silver and karat gold jewelry with these kinds of designs for decades. The focus stays on clear detail and metal that lasts.
