Which metal is best for a unique valentines name necklace that won't tarnish quickly?

Asked 3 years ago

My friend recently received a name necklace from her boyfriend, and I'd also like to have one. I want to treat myself to the perfect name necklace design this Valentine's Day. I like the script font, but I don't know what material to use. I want something elegant that will last a long time. Which metals should I choose?

The most robust and durable metals that won't tarnish are Platinum and 24 karat gold. They do not tarnish because they do not react easily to oxygen or sulfides.  Both metals will give you a beautiful name necklace that will last a long time and keep their shine.
