With the price of gold and platinum at all-time highs, many retail jewelers are introducing lines that incorporate new sterling silver alloys, non-karated alloys, and also contemporary metals like tungsten, titanium, stainless steel, cobalt chrome, and zirconia ceramic. While these “new” metals are attractive and popular with consumers, it’s important for jewelers to know their unique properties so they can advise their clients on issues such as scratch resistance, general durability, cleaning methods, sizing and repair, and emergency removal techniques. Armed with information from this expert panel, a retailer can sell these “new” metals with confidence and enthusiasm.<\/span>
