Our Gold

Our signature pieces are 18k gold-filled. That means a thick layer of real 18k gold, bonded with heat and pressure to a brass core. At least 5% of each piece's weight is real 18k gold – many times more gold than plating – which is why it lasts for years of everyday wear.

Why 18k

18k gold is 75% pure gold, so it has the warm, buttery colour of classic fine jewellery. Because the outside of our gold-filled pieces is real 18k gold, they share the colour of solid 18k gold – and every piece is the same tone, so your stack always matches.

Caring for it

  • Waterproof for everyday wear – safe for the shower, sweat and daily life.
  • Take it off for long swims in pools, hot tubs or the ocean.
  • Rinse after salt water, dry it well and store it away from moisture.
