Products & Materials

What is the difference between gold, white gold and sterling silver?

Gold, white gold and sterling silver are all popular jewellery materials, but they have different appearances, value and care needs. Gold jewellery is available in different colours and purities, such as yellow gold, rose gold and white gold. White gold has a bright, silvery look and is often rhodium plated to enhance its finish, but this plating may wear over time and need replating. Sterling silver is a more accessible precious metal and may require regular care to help reduce tarnishing and maintain shine.
Zamel’s offers jewellery across a range of materials, so you can choose a piece that suits your style, occasion and budget.

Will my jewellery tarnish, fade or change colour over time?

Some jewellery may change appearance over time depending on the material, finish and how often it is worn. Sterling silver can tarnish, plated finishes can wear with friction and exposure, and white gold may need rhodium replating to maintain its bright white finish. To help protect your jewellery, avoid chemicals, water, perfumes, lotions, rough surfaces and heavy daily wear where possible.

What is the difference between solid gold and gold plated jewellery?

Solid gold jewellery is made from a gold alloy throughout the piece, while gold plated jewellery has a thin layer of gold applied over another base metal. Gold plated jewellery can be a more affordable way to enjoy the look of gold, but it is generally better suited to occasional wear because the outer layer can wear over time. This is why checking the material description before purchasing is important.

What should I know before choosing diamond jewellery?

When choosing diamond jewellery, the main quality factors are the 4Cs: cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. These help describe a diamond’s appearance, size and overall quality. Cut affects sparkle, carat refers to weight, colour describes how colourless the diamond appears, and clarity refers to natural internal or external characteristics. The right choice depends on your budget, style preference and the type of piece you are buying.
You can refer to Zamel’s Diamond Guide for a helpful explanation of the 4Cs when choosing diamond jewellery, including rings, earrings, pendants and special occasion pieces.

What is the difference between natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds?

Natural diamonds are formed in the earth, while lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled laboratory environment. Both can offer beautiful sparkle, but they differ in origin, rarity, price point and how they are described on product pages. If you are exploring diamond jewellery, Zamel’s Celebration Lab-Grown Diamonds collection offers a beautiful selection of lab-grown diamond rings, necklaces and other pieces, giving you more ways to find a diamond style that suits your occasion, taste and budget.
