I pride myself on remaining unbiased when presenting my clients with options for the precious metal their bespoke jewellery is going to be made from. I have samples of all the different gold and platinum options, so they can try on rings in each colour to see which suits their skin tone best.

But if you asked me which was my favourite of the white precious metals, I would have to say white gold. So buckle yourself in for an impassioned explanation of why I feel this way – its an unusual preference for a jewellery designer!
