Jewelry Material Guide

Jewelry is available in a variety of materials, and each type varies in quality, durability, and price. Understanding these differences can help you choose the perfect piece for your style and lifestyle.

Gold-Filled

Gold-filled jewelry features a thick layer of real gold—at least 5% of the item’s total weight—mechanically bonded to a durable base metal, usually brass. This makes gold-filled pieces much more durable than standard gold-plated jewelry, resistant to tarnishing, and able to maintain their beauty for decades with proper care. Gold-filled jewelry offers the luxurious look and feel of solid gold at a more accessible price, making it ideal for everyday wear and pieces meant to last.

Gold-Plated & Fashion Jewelry

Gold-plated jewelry has a thin layer of real gold electroplated onto a base metal such as brass or copper. While it provides the shimmer and color of gold at a budget-friendly price, the thin gold layer may wear away over time, especially with frequent use or exposure to moisture. Gold-plated pieces are best suited for occasional wear.

Fashion jewelry is fun and versatile, designed for trend-driven looks and short-term wear. These pieces may not offer the longevity of fine metals but serve as statement accessories to add flair to any outfit. Fashion jewelry is our most affordable line, perfect for experimenting with style without a long-term commitment.

.925 Sterling Silver

.925 Sterling Silver is made from a high-quality silver alloy, consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper, to enhance durability. This composition gives sterling silver its bright luster, timeless appeal, and strength, making it suitable for everyday wear.

Sterling silver is hypoallergenic, versatile, and easy to care for, and over time it may develop a soft patina that can be polished back to its original shine. Elegant and enduring, .925 sterling silver is a classic choice for both fine and fashion jewelry.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel jewelry is crafted for strength, durability, and modern style. It is highly resistant to tarnish, rust, and corrosion, maintaining its sleek shine through everyday wear and active lifestyles. Its hypoallergenic properties make it safe for sensitive skin, and the solid weight and metallic finish add a contemporary edge.

Low-maintenance yet stylish, stainless steel jewelry provides long-lasting beauty without special care, whether polished to a mirror finish or brushed for a matte look. It offers timeless appeal and lasting performance at an accessible price, making it perfect for those seeking modern, durable pieces.
