Solid Gold
In its most pure form (24k) gold is soft and too weak to work with. Because of this, alloys are added to strengthen it, and also known as “solid gold.” All of our Heirloom collection jewelry pieces are made using 14k solid gold.
All of our solid gold materials are sourced from certified sellers in the USA.
Care Tips:
- Solid gold can be worn in water
- To maintain shine, use our yellow polishing cloth to wipe away dirt, sweat, chemicals, etc.
- Solid gold is the most suitable material for sensitive and easily irritated skin
- Every few wears, rinse the piece with luke warm water, mild soap & gently dry with a soft cloth.
- Store your solid gold in your Melrie pouch or box to avoid moisture and metal on metal rubbing.
Gold-Filled
Gold Filled contains 5% of solid gold and is made through a pressure and heat bonding process. This means that a thick layer of solid gold is bonded onto the base layer, usually sterling silver or brass, to form a thick and durable layer of solid gold. Making it much more valuable than any gold-plated, gold finish or gold coating product. Gold Filled does not flake off, or turn color. It is hypoallergenic and sensitive-skin friendly.

Sterling Silver
Sterling silver consists of 92.5% pure silver with the remaining metal most likely being copper in order tostrengthen the silver. Sterling silver is considered a precious metal. Sterling silver tarnishes is due to a natural chemical reaction that occurs when silver is exposed to air. The good news is it can be un-tarnishing pretty simply.
