Gold Filled Chain Options ➡️
What is Gold Filled?
Despite its name, it is not actually filled with gold! Gold is laid on top of the base material to give it that signature Gold appearance.
To create gold-filled materials, the gold is pressure bonded to a base metal called jeweler’s brass. This is a high-quality metal that is extremely resistant to wear and tear. Using high pressure and high heat, the gold is overlaid on top of the brass to give the appearance of authentic gold.

Sterling Silver Chain Options ➡️
Why Sterling Silver instead of Fine Silver?
Sterling silver is a silver alloy made from 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. It’s also known as ”.925 sterling silver” referring to its composition of 925 parts silver per thousand.
Because silver is a softer metal it can dent or scratch more easily easily. Alloying (mixing) silver with other metals makes it harder and more durable, which is why most silver items are made from alloys instead of from pure silver.
