What is Base Metal for Making Jewelry?

The base metal is known as a metal that is easily oxidized and corroded except for gold, silver, platinum, and the like. Copper is the most used to make fashion jewelry accessories. In addition, metals such as titanium, aluminum, stainless steel, and tantalum are also common materials in the jewelry industry now.

Brass

The copper-zinc ratio of brass is 95%:5%. The melting point and characteristics of brass are very close to the 925 silver, so it is very suitable as a substitute for silver. It is commonly used in the production of jewelry or as a substitute for silver in the validation of design solutions

Titanium

Due to the diverse color, stable performance, hypoallergenic and human compatibility of titanium, titanium has become the new trend of the jewelry market. We can see the traces of titanium in fine jewelry. Designers and craftsmen used titanium to make the skeleton of a jewel or the bottom of a gemstone and then embellished with various gemstones. The metal base of the same color as the gemstone subverts the structure of the traditional monochromatic base.

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel Jewelry is very special metal jewelry. The texture is very tough and resistant to corrosion. It will neither turn oxidized like silver nor will it be allergic to the skin like brass and alloy jewelry. The stainless steel jewelry always maintains its own color and basically, it will be tested by artificial sweat when it used to jewelry. Its characteristics are completely non-corrosive, and it is resistant to strong acid and alkali, no discoloration, no fading, no allergies, no deformation. It is a green high-grade environmentally friendly jewelry that does not cause any side effects or harm to the human body.
