Solid gold is the highest quality option, made entirely of gold with no base metals or coatings. It’s available in different karat weights, such as 14K, 18K, and 22K, each offering different levels of purity. Solid gold is durable, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin. It can also be waterproof and sweatproof, ensuring it maintains its shine and quality with regular wear. Solid gold jewellery is a timeless investment that can last for generations, offering both luxury and practicality with minimal maintenance.

Gold-filled jewellery has a thick layer of gold bonded to a base metal, typically brass, with at least 5% of the total weight being real gold. This method makes gold-filled jewellery incredibly more durable than gold-plated options. It’s highly resistant to tarnishing and scratching, and with proper care, it can last a long time without fading. Gold-filled jewellery is also hypoallergenic, making it safe for people with sensitive skin. It’s sweatproof, waterproof, and can handle daily wear without losing its shine, offering a solid, long-lasting alternative to solid gold at a more affordable price.

Gold Vermeil is a premium type of gold plating that uses a thicker layer of gold, applied over 925 sterling silver. For it to qualify as vermeil, the gold layer must be at least 2.5 microns thick. This makes gold vermeil more durable and tarnish-resistant than regular gold plating, and it has a longer lifespan. The thicker gold layer also makes it more resistant to wear and fading. Like sterling silver, gold vermeil is generally hypoallergenic and a great option for those with sensitive skin. It's also more resistant to tarnishing and is perfect for those who want a luxurious gold look without the high price tag of solid gold.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) gold plating is a modern method of applying a thin layer of gold to a base metal through a high-tech vacuum process. This technique results in a more durable, wear-resistant finish compared to traditional gold plating. PVD gold-plated jewellery is often hypoallergenic and is less prone to tarnishing or fading. It’s also resistant to scratches and more waterproof and sweatproof than standard gold plating. The enhanced durability makes PVD gold-plated jewellery a fantastic option for those who want the gold look with a longer-lasting finish at a more affordable price.

Gold plated jewellery has a thin layer of gold applied to a base metal, such as silver or brass, using electroplating. While the gold layer is typically quite thin, it provides a shiny, luxurious look at a fraction of the price of solid gold. However, it can wear off over time with frequent use, especially with contact to sweat, water, or abrasive surfaces. Our gold-plated jewellery is hypoallergenic, as it is plated on 925 sterling silver or stainless steel. It's best suited for occasional or fashion jewellery, as it provides the appearance of gold without the high cost.

925 sterling silver is made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper, for added strength and durability. It’s a high-quality material that offers a bright, shiny finish but may tarnish over time, especially with exposure to air and moisture. However, it’s easy to polish and restore to its original gleam. Sterling silver is hypoallergenic, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin. It’s also versatile, lightweight, and affordable, offering a good balance of quality and price. Our 925 Sterling Silver pieces are coated with Platinum to give a brighter shine and some extra protection.
