FAQ

 

Why do we design with gold-filled? 

 

We use gold filled vs solid gold to allow designs to be affordable to those who love unique pieces but need affordable alternatives to finer jewelry.

 

Gold filled jewelry is composed of a solid layer of 14k or 18k gold, that is bonded to a base metal (brass, sterling or copper). It is NOT gold plated. It is a solid layer of bonded gold allowing the pieces to be worn the exact same as any solid gold 14k gold piece of jewelry.

 

Gold Filled jewelry are great quality alternatives to solid gold. With proper care and storage you will have jewelry that will last a lifetime at less than half the price of solid gold.
