YELLOW GOLD: Gold is a precious metal with a natural yellow color. It is quite soft and often alloyed with other metals to increase its strength. The purity of the metal is indicated by a unit called a "karat," with 24kt having the highest percentage of natural gold.

ROPE: Chain links that are twisted or looped together in a pattern that creates a look similar to that of a rope.

SPRINGRING CLASP: Invented in the early 1900s this diminutive device is highly effective. It's a hollow circular metal fastener with a spring opening. This keeps the clasp closed.

AMETRINE: A rare and captivating bi-colored gemstone, ametrine combines the majestic purple of amethyst with the sunny glow of citrine. The contrasting colors give it a distinct appearance. Ametrines are typically cut in such a way that there is a sharp boundary between the two colors towards the center.

EMERALD: the birthstone of May, and from the beryl mineral family, the emerald has been a prized possession of royalty since ancient times and a good quality emerald can be as or even more expensive than a fine diamond of the same carat. Emeralds are considered the traditional gift for the 55th wedding anniversary.
