MATERIALS
We predominantly use the high-quality materials of 14 Karat/20 Gold filled and 925 Sterling Silver.
14 Karat/20 Gold Filled: For us, the best material for those who love gold, because it is 100% waterproof, meaning it doesn’t lose its color even when worn in water.
What exactly is 14 Karat/20 Gold Filled?
14 Karat/20 Gold Filled consists of a thin layer of 14 karat real gold and jeweler's brass. In a specialized process, a high-quality 14 karat gold layer (made of real gold) is heat and pressure bonded onto a base core of brass. During this process, the gold is fused so tightly with the base metal that it cannot peel off. The gold layer is up to 100 times thicker than that of conventional gold-plated jewelry, ensuring a durable and beautiful gold surface.
The result is a high-quality material that has the charm and allure of real gold but at an affordable price. It is not the same as solid gold since the core of the material is brass, but it is still the best alternative, in our opinion, for high-quality, long-lasting, waterproof gold jewelry.
14 Karat/20 Gold Filled has been well-known and popular in America since the 1950s. In the past, it was frequently used for jewelry, watch bands, and eyeglass frames.
Our expertise in the art of working with 14 Karat Gold Filled, along with our daily creative ideas, enables us to create distinctive designs using this material.
925 Sterlingsilber : We also love this high-quality material, which is wonderfully processable. It is also waterproof and highly durable.
925 Sterling Silver is made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals to enhance its strength and durability. Through careful selection and processing, we ensure that the silver retains its natural beauty and meets the highest quality standards. Whenever possible, we also use recycled 925 Sterling Silver.
Some pendant chains in our jewelry pieces are made of 925 Sterling Silver with 24 karat gold plating. This plating consists of a 2-micron thick layer of gold, making it much more durable than conventional standard plating.
