14K Gold Filled Jewellery

Gold filled jewellery is made by chemically bonding layers of solid gold (14K) around a base metal. Unlike gold plated jewellery, gold filled jewellery actually has a measurable amount of gold in it. This process of bonding the solid gold makes for jewellery that does not tarnish, peel, chip or discolor. With proper care, gold filled jewellery can last for many years. Simply clean your jewellery every couple weeks with dawn soap & water to keep them sparkly and to extend the life of your jewels.

Gold filled jewellery is safe and hypoallergenic. Please be cautious if you have an allergy to brass as our gold filled jewellery still contains this metal and your skin may have a reaction.

Though our gold filled pieces are long lasting, we still do not recommend the jewellery coming in direct contact with lotions, oils, perfumes, or ocean/pool water. This can dull your pieces and reduce their shine. We recommend your jewelry be the last thing you put on when heading out. Clean your jewellery more frequently if you live a more active lifestyle.

Sterling Silver

While we love our shiny, silver jewellery, please do keep in mind it is a soft material and can tarnish quite quickly when it comes in contact with oxygen and sulfer. To keep your shine pristine for longer, use your polishing cloth regularly and avoid chlorine and excess heat where possible. To ensure sparkle, we recommend following the jewellery care and lightly polishing regularly to maintain shine!

Things To Know!

The pH of your skin may react to metal jewellery. Not getting enough water? In a humid environment?  Put a little extra lotion on? Even high-quality metal jewellery can sometimes leave a green tint when the metals react with the acidity of your skin. It can also be caused by other substances on your skin, such as lotion, oils, or perfumes. Luckily, this tint is completely harmless. An easy way to remove this is to apply rubbing alcohol or makeup remover to a cotton pad and gently wipe down the affected area on your skin.

If you have a known allergy to brass, please be aware when purchasing our gold-filled jewellery and gold-plated jewellery. While gold filled has an outer layer of 5-10% 14k gold over brass, it still contains brass as a base metal and skin highly sensitive to brass may be affected. For these customers, we recommend sterling silver, gold vermeil, or solid gold jewellery. All of our pieces are hypoallergenic.

Gold jewellerymay vary slightly in color. This is because it’s a mixture of gold and other metals (called gold alloy). 24k solid gold is quite soft and can easily dent and scratch, making it less durable for everyday use. 14k gold is 14/24 or about 58% gold, and about 42% other metals - this is the most common gold selection due to its durability. The particular mixture of metals gives gold alloy its own hue and tone which can vary slightly.
