Solid Gold. Nothing Plated.

Most "gold" jewelry online is plated brass. Here's exactly what we use — and what the words mean.

What we build with

Every metal option on every product page is solid through — the gold goes all the way through the piece, not just the surface.

The words, honestly defined

TermWhat it actually isDo we use it?
Solid goldGold alloy all the way through. Can be resized, repaired, and lasts generations.Yes — this is all we sell.
Gold filledThick bonded gold layer over base metal. Better than plating, but not solid.No
VermeilGold plating over sterling silver. Pretty, but the gold layer wears.No
Gold platedMicrons-thin gold over brass. Wears off with daily use.Never.

Why it matters for custom

A made-to-order piece should outlive trends. Solid gold can be resized, re-polished, re-tipped, and handed down. Plated jewelry can't — once the layer wears, the piece is done. That's why we don't sell it, at any price.

Stones

All moissanite is D color, VVS clarity, GRA-certified (0.3 ct and up). Certificates ship with your piece.
