Platinum

The most popular metal for engagement rings and wedding bands, platinum’s naturally white sheen will never fade or change colour, and accentuates the sparkle and brilliance of a diamond. Platinum will last forever, making it the ultimate symbol for true, enduring, and everlasting love.

Gold

Gold has an extraordinary heritage with unique qualities. As an enduring element found naturally in a distinct yellow colour, gold is resistant to rust, tarnish, and corrosion. Although gold is very strong, it's also the most malleable of all precious metals. 

Silver

The silver jewellery and accessories available at Howard are made of beautiful sterling silver. For our collection, we have chosen classic designs created by some of the finest craftsmen. 

Tungston Carbide 

Unique in appeal and strong by design, tungsten carbide is a forged metal with qualities that will last a lifetime. Tungsten carbide jewellery is created from an alloy of 80% elemental Tungsten and 20% Carbon alloyed with other metals

Cobalt 

Made from a highly durable alloy, cobalt is four times harder than platinum while at the same time, less dense. Because of its natural hardness, cobalt jewellery is extremely scratch, chip and corrosion-resistant. Its lower density and natural malleability allow for strong, dynamic designs with less weight. Cobalt is also hypoallergenic, making it an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin or an active lifestyle.
