Why Solid Gold is the Ultimate Choice in Jewellery
When it comes to jewellery, not all gold is created equal. As an artisan jeweller working exclusively with solid gold, I’m passionate about crafting pieces that stand the test of time - both in beauty and quality. Solid gold is timeless, durable, and perfect for creating heirlooms that can be cherished for generations.
If you’ve ever wondered why solid gold is worth the investment or what makes it so special, let’s dive into the details and uncover the magic of this precious material.
Why Solid Gold Stands Above the Rest
When shopping for gold jewellery, you might come across terms like gold-plated, gold-filled, or solid gold. While each has its place, understanding the differences can help you make the best choice for your needs.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Gold-Plated: A thin layer of gold is applied over base metal like brass or copper. It’s the most budget-friendly option but tends to tarnish or wear off with time.
- Gold-Filled: A thicker layer of gold is bonded to base metal. It’s more durable than gold-plated but still not pure gold, so it won’t last a lifetime.
- Solid Gold: The real deal! Solid gold is pure gold alloyed with other metals for strength. It’s the most durable and valuable option, perfect for timeless jewellery that can be passed down through generations.
💡 Why Choose Solid Gold?
Solid gold doesn’t fade, tarnish, or peel. Its enduring beauty and strength make it the ultimate choice for creating meaningful pieces that stand the test of time.
What Makes Solid Gold So Special?
Solid gold is more than just a material - it’s a symbol of quality and timeless elegance. Here’s why it’s my material of choice:
- Durability: Resistant to tarnishing, solid gold is perfect for everyday wear.
- Timeless Appeal: Its warm, rich tone complements every skin tone and never goes out of style.
- Value: Solid gold retains its worth, making it an investment as well as a treasure.
- Hypoallergenic: Especially in higher carats, solid gold is gentle on the skin and perfect for sensitive wearers.
💡 Marketa’s Tip: For a balance of durability and luxury, I often work with 9ct and 18ct gold - each offering a unique charm depending on the design.
Why I Only Work with Solid Gold
As a jeweller inspired by the ocean’s enduring beauty, I believe in using materials that reflect the same timeless quality. Solid gold allows me to craft jewellery that isn’t just beautiful but meaningful, designed to be worn, loved, and handed down for generations.
From bespoke engagement rings to ocean-inspired necklaces, working with solid gold ensures every piece I create is sustainable, high-quality, and built to last.
How to Care for Solid Gold Jewellery
While solid gold is incredibly durable, taking care of it ensures it stays as radiant as the day you bought it:
- Store your jewellery in a soft, dry place to avoid scratches.
- Remove it before swimming, showering, or using harsh chemicals.
- Clean it gently with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft cloth.
💡 Marketa’s Tip: All my jewellery comes with a care card to help you keep your treasures in perfect condition.
