Precious and Base Metals for Jewelry Casting
All gold, platinum, palladium, and silver products carried at Taba are recycled and ethically sourced. We have formulated all metals for optimal casting quality and safe use as jewelry. All metals pictured below are shown as high polish (F3) and satin for texture comparison.
To ensure casting quality we cast only with metals sourced ourselves. If you would like to cast a project using heirloom metals for a separate flask fee please contact us.
Silver Products
SS
Special Silver, our more popular sterling silver, with 92.5% silver content and a tarnish resistant alloy.
RS
Regular Silver, with 92.5% silver content with a classic copper and zinc formulation. This is the more economical sterling, and ideal for adding patinas.
SPT
Silver Platinum, a sturdy silver with brilliant shine. The dash of platinum makes it tarnish resistant.
Gold Products
22Y
22K yellow, a deep, rich metal containing 91.67% gold that evokes the look of ancient Etruscan jewelry.
20P
20 Pink, a warm rose gold containing 83.33% gold, the rest copper, zinc, and silver.
18YF
18 Yellow French, our lighter version of 18K yellow gold. So named because of the popularity of this color in Europe.
18YR
18 Yellow Royal, our deeper, slightly warmer version of 18K yellow gold. The color difference is achieved with a modification of alloy.
18G
18 Green, an 18K yellow gold with a slight olive tone.
18P
18 Pink, warm rose gold. Simultaneously luxe and fashion-forward.
18Pch
18 Peach, an 18K gold imbued with tone somewhere between yellow and pink. For those who find pink gold too saccharine, but love the warm colors.
18Co
18 Cocoa, neutral color with a hint of brown. This color is a chameleon in the light.
18W
18 White, a classic white gold with a warm tone.
18WPa
18 White Palladium, an 18 white gold, but with a steel-grey look to it.

14G
14 Green, a mid-tone yellow with a slight olive tinge
14P
14 Pink; rosier than 18P but not as rosy as 10P. (This would be due to the ratio of copper to gold.)
