Hello.

I am struggling to find 18ct gold clamshell tips to go with my 18ct gold jumbo bolt rings. All that I can find is 9ct in the UK and 14ct from abroad (not ideal).

So the question is, is it OK to use a different carat metal next to the bolt ring or will this cause uneven wearing? Or some other problem?


I have not ordered them yet, but depending on the size of the clamshell's loop, I may need an intermediate jump ring, but, the same theory applies with mixing the carat of the metal.


Help greatly appreciated.
