“Every metal carries its own story. Gold shines with warmth, silver glows with grace.” - Hong Wid, Founder, Unicorn Diamond International

The Heart of Every Piece
At Unicorn Diamond International, every jewellery piece begins with a story, yours. Before we choose the gemstones or design the setting, we start with the foundation: the metal. That choice is not only about beauty but also about meaning, emotion, and lifestyle.
Among all the metals we work with, gold and silver remain the most cherished. Each has its own charm, purpose, and symbolism, one rich with heritage, the other radiant in its simplicity.
Gold: The Symbol of Timeless Luxury
Gold has been treasured across cultures for centuries. It represents success, abundance, and everlasting love. Its natural glow and resistance to tarnish make it the perfect choice for meaningful pieces such as engagement rings, wedding bands, and family heirlooms.

So why do we love gold:
Durable and long-lasting: Especially in 18K form, gold stands the test of time while maintaining its glow.
Gentle on skin: 18K gold is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for daily wear.
Rich colour variety: From classic yellow to elegant white and romantic rose, each hue tells a different story.
Deep symbolism: Gold represents purity, eternity, and love that never fades.
For me, gold is more than a precious metal. It is a celebration of deep emotions and the promise of forever.
Silver: The Beauty of Simplicity
Silver has a quiet elegance that captures light most gracefully. Its cool tone and reflective surface make it a favourite for those who love modern, minimalist style.

So, Why I Love Silver:
Accessible elegance: Silver offers the beauty of fine design at a more approachable price.
Bright and modern tone: It pairs effortlessly with both casual and contemporary looks.
Meaningful symbolism: Silver stands for clarity, reflection, and inner strength.
Versatile design: It complements many gemstones, from turquoise to amethyst to white diamonds.
