What is difference between gold plated jewelry & gold-filled jewelry?
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!
How does the bracelet sizing work?
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
Please reach out to us or leave a order note of the size bracelet you wish to have!

Jewelry Warranty
Repair Warranty
It is our goal to take care of our customers and create a lasting relationship with a jewelry brand you can trust. There may be times when mistakes occur, but we will take care of you at no cost to you. Our 30-day warranty covers the following:
- The item has manufacturing defects such as a faulty clasp, a faulty string, etc.
- Aspects of the item are missing or incorrect, e.g., the bracelet is misspelled, the gold is ordered but the silver is received, and the sizing is not correct.
The warranty does not cover broken chains or broken beaded bracelets.
Beaded Bracelet Restring Policy:
If the elastic string wears out or snaps within a year, we can restring it. There will be a base charge of $10 for restringing. In order to restring the bracelet, you would need all the beads or there would be an extra charge.
Customers are responsible for shipping to and from our studio in Michigan.
Sale page products are final sale and sold as is. They are not covered by a warranty.
Jewelry Care
We want your pieces to last just as much as you do. By following the below tips, you will help get the most out of every piece you purchase.
- Take off your jewelry before your daily rituals such as: showering, working out, etc.
- To avoid snapping, roll your beaded bracelets over your wrist.
- Exposure to makeup, oil and dyes can diminish the sparkle of your jewelry.
We wanted our packaging to match our quality. It doubles as jewelry storage which we think you’ll need since these pieces are made to last.
A major bonus is that they are reusable and will cut down on the plastic waste we were contributing to the landfills. We hope you keep the pouch and box that your pieces come in to store or travel with your jewelry!
What is your reweld policy?
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
Visit us at a pop-up, book an appointment or walk-in for a Permanent Jewelry Adjustment! If we are unable to repair the chain or you want to different style chain we will offer you a discount to replace the chain.
Essbe is not liable for lost chains. Permanent jewelry or custom pieces are final sale.
