Solid gold is gold all the way through, making it the most durable and heirloom-worthy option available. It won't flake, peel, or wear away over time, making it ideal for pieces you'll treasure for decades.

Best for: Wedding bands, heirloom pieces, and everyday wear designed to last a lifetime.

Gold fill features a thick layer of genuine 14k gold permanently bonded to a jeweler's brass core. With approximately 100x more gold than standard plating, it offers the look, feel, and longevity of fine jewelry at a more accessible price point.

Water-safe, tarnish-resistant, and made for everyday wear, it's the material we choose for many of our most-loved pieces.

Best for: Everyday jewelry, layering pieces, and jewelry you'll rarely want to take off.

Gold plated jewelry features a thin layer of gold applied over a base metal. While it offers the appearance of gold at a lower price point, the gold layer can gradually wear away with exposure to water, lotions, and daily friction.

With proper care, plated jewelry can remain beautiful for years, though it may require more maintenance than gold fill or solid gold.

Best for: Occasional wear, trend-driven styles, and special occasion pieces.
