The Quality and Value of Gold-Filled and Sterling Silver Jewelry
We strive to make jewelry that is so easy to wear and care for that you never had to take it off. That’s why we craft our pieces using high-quality gold-filled and sterling silver materials. These metals strike the perfect balance between beauty, durability, and affordability, making them ideal for everyday wear and special occasions alike. Let’s explore why gold-filled and sterling silver jewelry are exceptional choices and how they deliver unmatched value.
What is Gold-Filled Jewelry?
Gold-filled jewelry is a premium alternative to solid gold that offers the same luxurious look at a fraction of the cost. Unlike gold-plated jewelry, which uses a thin layer of gold that can quickly wear off, gold-filled jewelry is made by bonding a thick layer of real gold (at least 5% of the item’s total weight) to a base metal core, typically brass. This process creates a durable and tarnish-resistant finish that can last a lifetime with proper care.
Key Benefits of Gold-Filled Jewelry
- Durability: The thick layer of gold resists fading, tarnishing, and flaking, making it ideal for active lifestyles.
- Affordability: Enjoy the look and feel of solid gold without the hefty price tag.
- Hypoallergenic: Gold-filled jewelry is safe for most people with sensitive skin, as the thick gold layer prevents exposure to base metals.
- Versatility: Whether you’re hiking in Steamboat Springs or attending a formal event, gold-filled pieces transition seamlessly between casual and elegant settings.
What is Sterling Silver Jewelry?
Sterling silver, also known as 925 silver, is an alloy made from 92.5% pure silver mixed with 7.5% other metals (usually copper). This combination enhances the strength and durability of the metal while maintaining its signature luster. Sterling silver is beloved for its timeless elegance and ability to complement any outfit.
Key Benefits of Sterling Silver Jewelry
- Strength: Sterling silver is significantly more durable than pure silver, making it perfect for intricate designs that stand up to daily wear.
- Affordability: It offers the sophistication of precious metal at an accessible price point.
- Timeless Appeal: Its bright, reflective finish never goes out of style.
- Sustainability: Sterling silver is often recycled, making it an eco-friendly choice.
