Which is better for kitchen cabinets?

The solid brass knob. It is metal, mounts with a machine screw and holds up to daily pulling better than ceramic. The ceramic Rosette suits lighter-use drawers and vanities.

The brass knob. Solid brass does not chip, and unlacquered brass only darkens with patina. Ceramic can crack if a pot or pan strikes it.

Is the brass knob worth the extra $2?

For a full kitchen, yes: about $2 per knob buys metal durability and a patina finish. For a single nightstand or a rental, the $7.50 ceramic knob is fine.

Will the brass knob match pink and gold decor?

It will read as warm gold-toned metal, not pink. If you want the pink floral look specifically, choose the Rosette ceramic knob.

Do both come with mounting screws?

The brass knob includes an 8-32 thread machine screw. The ceramic knob is listed as a single piece, so confirm the screw is included before ordering.

Which size knob should I get?

The ceramic is one 2-inch size. The brass comes in 1-1/8" and 1-1/2"; pick 1-1/2" for large drawers and 1-1/8" for standard cabinet doors.
