Jewellery Materials for Every Style
The jewellery material you choose plays a big role in how your pieces look, feel, and wear over time. We’ve endeavoured to include a variety of jewellery metal types in our collection, each offering its own balance of durability, colour, and finish.
Whether you’re looking for something you can wear every day or a piece for more occasional styling, exploring different materials helps you find jewellery that works for you.
Explore Different Jewellery Metal Types
Our range of jewellery material options includes:
-
Yellow Gold – the timeless classic with a warm tone
-
White Gold – a sleek, modern option with a bright, silvery finish
-
Rose Gold – soft, contemporary tones with a subtle pink hue
-
Titanium – lightweight, highly durable, and well-suited to sensitive skin
-
Silver – a versatile, polished metal perfect for everyday styling
Each of these metal types offers something different, making it easy to find the right pieces for you.
Gold in particular will always be a popular finish – with both 14ct solid gold and 9ct solid gold jewellery pieces available in our collection. 14ct gold contains a higher percentage of pure gold, giving it a richer tone and slightly more premium feel. 9ct gold, on the other hand, is more durable and often better suited to everyday wear. Both are excellent options, offering long-lasting quality without the softness of higher carat gold.
Choosing the Right Jewellery Material
Different jewellery materials also affect the overall look of your jewellery.
When selecting the right jewellery material type, it helps to think about how you’ll wear your jewellery day to day:
- For everyday wear, 9ct gold, titanium, and silver offer high durability and comfort
- For a premium feel, 14ct gold provides a richer colour and finish
- For especially sensitive skin, titanium and high-quality gold are often the perfect choices
Why Material Matters
Choosing the right jewellery by material goes beyond appearance alone – it’s also worth considering how you’ll continue to wear your jewellery over time.
Higher-quality materials offer better durability, comfort, and long-term wear. And the great news is, whichever material you choose, our jewellery collection at Tish Lyon specifically focuses on designs that last – so you can invest in pieces that look good and feel right every time you wear them.

Jewellery Material FAQs
What is the best jewellery material for everyday wear?
The best jewellery material for everyday wear is one that offers durability and comfort in equal measure (and not forgetting aesthetics too!). 9ct solid gold is a popular choice as it can withstand regular use without losing its finish. Titanium is also ideal for everyday wear thanks to its strength and lightweight feel.
What are the most popular jewellery metal types?
Popular jewellery types include solid gold, silver, and titanium, with each offering unique properties. For instance, solid gold is usually chosen for its warmer tone while silver has a colder finish that may be more suited to certain styles. The best option depends on your personal preference and how you plan to wear your pieces.
Does jewellery material affect skin sensitivity?
Yes, the material of your jewellery can make a big difference, especially if you have particularly sensitive skin. Certain metals can cause allergic reactions (contact dermatitis) in many people, with the most common culprits being nickel, brass, and copper. Higher-quality materials like titanium and solid gold are generally well tolerated and less likely to cause irritation.
How do I choose the right jewellery material?
Choosing the right jewellery material comes down to how you plan to wear your jewellery, your budget, and your style preferences. If you want something warm and that stands out, yellow gold or rose gold are great options. For lightweight comfort, you might want to consider titanium. Ultimately, there’s no wrong option – simply browse what appeals to you, with the confidence that every piece in our collection is of the highest quality.
