Gold Fill (our choice)
Gold fill is made by bonding a sheet of solid gold to a base metal under very high heat and pressure. The gold layer makes up 5% of the piece's weight, far more than plating or vermeil, so it has the look of 14K gold and, with good care, lasts for years without the solid-gold price tag.
Solid Gold
24K is 100% pure gold. 18K is 75% pure, 14K is 58.3% and 9K is 37.5%.
Gold Vermeil
The highest standard of gold plating: a gold layer above 2.5 microns over a sterling silver base.
Gold Plating
A thin layer of gold bonded to a base metal using an electric current. Plated pieces need more care and shouldn't be worn in water.
Caring for your jewellery
Restore the lustre with a soft cloth, and keep your pieces away from perfume, chemicals and water.
