§ 04 · The metals

Eight metals,
twelve seasons.

Metal sits next to the skin all day; choose the wrong one and the whole outfit drifts off-key. Each season favours a narrow band of the eight common jewellery metals — and quietly disagrees with the rest. The chart below is the working reference used during a consultation.

The eight specimens

№ 01 — № 08 · reference plate

Eight wedding bands on a single plane: warm yellow, pale yellow, deep yellow, apricot and rose gold, then sterling silver, stainless steel and oxidised silver.

§ 06 · A working note

Metal is not a question of taste — it is a continuation of the palette. Get it right and the jewellery disappears into you; get it wrong and it sits on top of you, the way a wrong shoe does. Worn daily, the difference is considerable.
