18K GOLD

18K gold is commonly used for jewelry because it’s super pure but still sturdy enough for wearing everyday. It’s the best for sensitive skin and also great for jewelry pieces that will be handled with care.

14K GOLD

14K is one of the most popular golds because it’s high quality, but a little more affordable. The mix of gold with alloyed metals makes 14K way more resistant to wear and tear, so it’s perfect for everyday wear, active lifestyles, and sensitive skin.

10K GOLD

The mix of gold with stronger metals makes 10K the most affordable and durable gold. If you’re looking for your first piece or fashion jewelry you can change up often, 10K is the perfect choice.

WHITE GOLD

FOR WHEN YOU WANT A TWIST ON TRADITION

White gold has a lighter color and is mixed with metals like silver, zinc, or platinum for a sophisticated, subtle feel.

ROSE GOLD

FOR WHEN YOU'RE FEELING SWEET

Instead of mixing with zinc or silver, rose gold is mixed with copper to create that signature pink.

GOLD FILLED AND PLATED

FOR WHEN YOU WANT TO MIX IT UP

Let's break down some terminology.

Bonded is a combination of silver and gold, pressured together.

Gold filled is a base metal(like brass or bronze) bonded with gold.

Plated means there's a thin layer of gold over the metal.

These are the most economical gold choices, but will quickly tarnish and turn green, so they're best for costume jewelry. We encourage you to go for real gold for the very best quality because it's less prone to tarnishing and more durable.

STERLING SILVER

FOR WHEN YOU'RE FEELING STELLAR

Like gold, silver is also too soft to use purely, so it’s combined with other metals to make it more durable for everyday wear. Sterling silver is always 92.5% pure silver, and 7.6% copper.
