Most "gold" jewelry online is plated brass. Here's exactly what we use — and what the words mean.
Every metal option on every product page is solid through — the gold goes all the way through the piece, not just the surface.
| Term | What it actually is | Do we use it? |
|---|---|---|
| Solid gold | Gold alloy all the way through. Can be resized, repaired, and lasts generations. | Yes — this is all we sell. |
| Gold filled | Thick bonded gold layer over base metal. Better than plating, but not solid. | No |
| Vermeil | Gold plating over sterling silver. Pretty, but the gold layer wears. | No |
| Gold plated | Microns-thin gold over brass. Wears off with daily use. | Never. |
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.
All moissanite is D color, VVS clarity, GRA-certified (0.3 ct and up). Certificates ship with your piece.
