Throughout their collection, they work with sterling silver, 14kt gold-filled, 14kt solid gold, semi-precious and precious stones, and freshwater pearls. What is gold-filled? 14kt gold-filled is a technique where a sheet of solid 14 karat gold is heat bonded to a core of brass so that it has a much higher gold content than gold plating. Since 14kt gold fill is legally required to contain 1/20th of its weight in gold, the jewelry will not fade and continue to shine like pure gold. With proper care, a 14kt gold-filled piece can be worn for years without showing any signs of wear. And, their sterling silver is 100% recycled. Sterling silver is the strongest alloy of silver (92.5% silver and 7.5% copper), balancing beauty and durability. On certain pieces, they apply an oxidized finish to highlight the recesses and hammering in order to create contrast on the sterling.
