Gold plated jewelry contains a very thin layer of gold over a base metal (usually brass or copper). The piece is dipped in essentially a gold bath. The amount of gold is about .05%. This means the jewelry will no hold up over time when exposed to water, heat, chemicals, etc. The layer is so small that it exposes the skin to the base metal meaning it’s not hypoallergenic for those with metal allergies. It’s the lowest cost of gold jewelry available.

Gold-filled jewelry has almost 100x more gold than plated does. The gold is bonded to the base metal instead of plated so it can’t rub off. It does not expose the skin to the base metal making it hypoallergenic. The layer of gold is thick enough to make it perfect for everyday wear, and since it’s not solid gold the price point is much more affordable. If you take care of your gold-filled pieces, they can last a lifetime!  

We recommend measuring your wrist with a soft tape measure (or string and then a ruler!) and adding 1/2”. That makes for a very comfortable fit. Our beaded bracelets are stretchy so the sizing is forgiving and does not need to be exact.
For reference:
Sarah’s wrist is 5.75” and she wears the 6.75” bracelet
Jenna’s wrist is 7" and she wears the 7.5” bracelet

The minimalist appearance and ease of wearing permanent jewelry makes it the perfect choice for everyday wear. Despite the fact that you do not take it on and off each day, they are still delicate pieces of jewelry that can break.

Should your bracelet, anklet or necklace:

• Get caught on something

• Break

• Stretch

We will do our best to repair it for you for a $10 fee.
