Here are some answers to commonly asked questions regarding the design and quality of our pieces.

 

What is Gold Filled jewelry?

The term "Gold filled" is a regulated industry standard that requires the jewelry's metal to consist of at least 5% solid gold by weight.

 

How is it made?

Multiple layers of solid 14k gold are bonded with extreme heat over a high quality core of jeweler's brass. This process results in high-quality and durable jewelry. It looks & feels just like solid gold.

 

Is it actually filled with gold?

No, the name is quite counterintuitive! The thick layer of 14k solid gold is only on the outermost part of the jewelry and there's no filling involved. The core consists of high quality jeweler's brass. 

 

What is Gold Vermeil?

Gold vermeil has a thinner layer of gold over the base metal than products that are gold filled. This does affect the jewelry's ability to resist wear and tear, but it also makes it a little more affordable than gold filled.

 

Is Gold Filled better than Gold Vermeil?

Gold Filled is as close as you can get to solid gold jewelry for a fraction of the price. However, Gold Vermeil is an even more affordable option than Gold Filled while still retaining a high quality composition of solid gold. While Gold Vermeil may not last a lifetime, like Gold Filled, if price point is more important to you, Gold Vermeil products are still an excellent purchase!

 

Are Gold Filled and Gold Plated the same?

No, they aren't. Gold Filled jewelry has more solid gold included and undergoes a much more rigorous process. The result is higher quality & durability than gold plated jewelry. Also, it is hard to know exactly what you're getting when you purchase gold plated jewelry, because thickness standards are not defined and therefore can't be closely regulated.

 

Does your jewelry contain Nickel?

No, it does not.

 

I have sensitive skin - can I wear gold filled or gold vermeil without an issue?

Yes. 99.99% of people have no sensitivity to gold filled jewelry. If you don't have a sensitivity wearing solid gold, you should not have any issues wearing gold filled either. We're talking real gold here, remember? 

 

Will it discolor my skin?

No. About 0.00001 of people experience discoloration when wearing gold, but it's typically because of medications present in their system that interact with the gold. If your solid gold jewelry doesn't discolor your skin, you are in the clear. 

 

Will it peel or rust?

No, it will not peel and can't possibly rust.
