Jostens offers a variety of metal choices including white and yellow gold, Sterling Silver, Lustrium® and Questra.

Gold

Jostens offers gold in 2 colors and 3 karat qualities:

Yellow Gold: Because of its durability and lasting value over time, gold is a wise investment. Gold has been the standard for jewelry for over 4000 years.

White Gold: Has the same lasting qualities and value as yellow gold, but different metal.

Metal Purities:

18K: 75% pure gold, 25% metal allow

14K: 58.5% pure gold, 41.5% metal allow

10K: 41.7% pure gold, 58.3% metal allow

Sterling Silver

92.5% Silver

2.65% Zinc

3.25% Copper

With very little amounts of Germanium and Iridium. 

This alloy is also Rhodium plated to prevent tarnishing over time. 

Lustrium®

A non-precious metal alloy that is silver in color. It is a hard metal and fairly durable, but does not have the same value and characteristics as gold. Lustrium® will react to oxygen and thus may require additional care and cleaning.

Questra

Same characteristics as Lustrium®, but yellow in color because of coating with 23 karat yellow gold.

*Nickel is included in the following metal mixes: Lustrium®, Yellow Lustrium®, and all white gold.

You can further personalize your ring by having either your initials or full name added to the inside of your ring.
