Our Premier Materials
-
14k Gold Filled: A Timeless Choice "Gold-filled" represents more than just an industry standard in the USA; it's a guarantee of quality. With 1/20th or 5% pure gold by weight, this method uses high heat to pressure bond layers of solid 14k gold over a jeweler's brass core. This technique ensures our Permanent Jewelry and select pieces from our regular lines boast a durable, real gold finish that's both water resistant and tarnish-free.
-
14k/18k Gold Bonded: Elegance Redefined Crafted with a process similar to our gold-filled pieces, gold bonded items feature a different gold percentage, adding an extra layer of protection. Our regular jewelry collection benefits from this technique, ensuring each piece is water-resistant, tarnish-free, and hypoallergenic.
Care Guide To maintain the allure of your gold-filled jewelry, a simple wash with gentle soap and water after swimming or hot tub use is recommended. For general care, use mild soap and a soft cloth, and remember, gentle products are key.
- 925 Sterling Silver: Pure Radiance Each silver piece is genuine 925 sterling silver, treated with an anti-tarnish coating to extend its beauty. While tarnishing is natural, proper care will keep your jewelry shining.
Care Guide Avoid water and remove jewelry before sleep. Keep away from harsh chemicals to preserve integrity. For cleaning, a soft toothbrush and mild soap work wonders.
- Gold Vermeil: Distinguished Brilliance Not to be confused with basic gold plating, our gold vermeil pieces feature a thick layer of gold over sterling silver, ensuring a lasting hue.
Care Guide Like sterling silver, avoid water and sweat. A dry, soft cloth is all you need for a gentle buff.
- 14k/18k Gold Plated: Modern Sophistication Our gold-plated jewelry receives an extra layer of protection to enhance durability. However, to ensure longevity, special care is crucial.
Care Guide Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Avoid water and sweat, and dry promptly if exposed.
