Being able to choose is important and that is why we offer a choice of different metals and finishes.
As gold is so soft, it must always be alloyed (mixed) with other metals in order to be worked with. 24 carat (K), 24 K indicates a content of pure gold; 18 K contains 75 % pure gold; 14 K contains 58.5 % pure gold and 9 K contains 37.5 % pure gold.
Up until 1988, it was only permissible to sell gold with a minimum content of 18 K. Now, even 14 K and less is sold. When gold is alloyed with copper and silver, it becomes a red-yellow color. In Scandinavia, our tradition prefers a redder nuance to that of Southern Europe, where a more yellow tone dominates. However, both can be 18 carat.
Schalins' white gold contains 16 % palladium. A white gold ring can, via a catalytic process, be plated with a layer of rhodium. This is known as 'rhodium flashing'. This results in an even whiter finish to the color of the white gold.
You can also get many of our ring models in pink gold. A fine tinting for red and white gold and works particularly well for two-colour rings. Pink gold alloy has all the positive characteristics normal gold has and has become highly appreciated for its colour.
Palladium is a "new" old precious metal, as far as the jewellery industry is concerned. Initially, it was used as an alternative to white gold. Palladium has become very valued in recent years. It has similar properties to platinum and white gold, but is significantly less expensive.
Our palladium is an alloy known as Palladium 500 and consists of 50 % pure palladium and the remainder of silver.
Silver is the most used precious metal and is popular in the manufacture of jewellery, thanks to properties such as its beautiful white color.
Our silver rings are made to the highest quality, Silver 935.
New and exciting - the rings of the future. Titanium is a light material that has a completely different feel; it is light on the finger but has a hard surface, and a beautiful grey color. One of the positive properties of titanium is that it is non-allergenic. So, if you are especially sensitive, titanium is a good choice.
