The term “gold-filled jewelry” refers to items with a core of base metal with an outer layer of solid gold. Created by mechanically bonding 14k gold (at least 5% gold) to the surface of the base metal using heat and pressure. This is a permanent bond so the gold is extremely durable, tarnish resistant and can last many years when following our care guide. Perfect for people looking a for an affordable alternative yet look-a-like to solid gold. To help prolong shine and lifespan, we advise to limit contact with water, liquids and chemicals.

Care Guide:

    Is your jewelry waterproof or water resistant?
    Our waterproof jewelry is made from a base metal of stainless steel and is gold plated using a specific process called PVD coating. This process makes the jewelry more durable when in regular contact with water. However, it does not mean that the gold plating will not fade over time, it just takes much longer to fade than the average electroplated cheaper jewelry. Gold PVD plated or gold-filled jewelry is an affordable and durable alternative to expensive solid gold.
    Our jewelry is made from 14K-18K gold PVD plated stainless steel or gold filled materials. So your jewels will last many years with the proper care and won't turn your skin green. When you can, remove your jewels before contact with water and chemicals for them to last longer.

    Caring and Storing for your jewelry
    • Any lotions, deodorants, perfumes, household items can seriously harm your gold plated jewels and discolor them over time.
    • All stainless steel based jewelry can be worn in water hence waterproof. However, constant contact with water and liquids can reduce the lifespan of your jewelry so we advise to remove when exercising, washing your hands, showering, swimming or doing anything that involves moisture.
    • Store your jewelry pieces individually. You can keep them in our packaging they come with or a cotton pouch so that they don’t rub together, scratch or tangle.
