Why Gold-Filled

The Gold Standard.

Not all gold is created equal. We believe in complete transparency about what goes into your everyday pieces. Here is a simple guide to understanding jewellery materials, and why gold-filled is our absolute favourite.

Gold Plated

  • The Fast Fashion Choice. A microscopic layer of gold flash-plated over a base metal.

  • Highly prone to tarnishing and fading, often losing its color within a few months of wear.

Gold Vermeil

  • The Sterling Alternative. A thicker layer of gold plating over a sterling silver base.

  • A good option for highly sensitive skin, though the gold layer will still eventually rub off and expose the silver underneath.

Gold-Filled

  • The Everyday Essential. A thick, solid layer of real gold mechanically pressure-bonded to a jeweller's brass core.

  • Contains up to 100x more gold than standard plating.

  • Highly durable, shower-safe, and tarnish-resistant. With proper care, it can last for years.

Solid Gold

  • The Heirloom Investment. Crafted entirely from a solid gold alloy (usually 14k or 18k).

  • Will never tarnish or fade, but comes with a significantly higher price tag that isn't always practical for everyday stacking.

In the Spirit of Choosing Better.

We believe premium quality shouldn’t require a solid gold price tag. By exclusively using USA-sourced gold-filled materials, we craft beautiful, low-maintenance pieces designed to be lived in. Thoughtful, everyday jewellery that you never have to take off.
