This is the same material high-end eye wear frames are made off. It is different than plastic. It is essentially made from a wood pulp and is a renewable resource. These pieces are lightweight, durable and make great staple pieces. All of our acetate earring posts are hypoallergenic stainless steel.
GOLD PLATED
18K Gold plated with a brass base metal. Our Plating is a 1 micron plating which is 4X the standard plating. We intentionally do this so that our pieces will last.
GOLD FILLED
Gold-filled jewelry is the closest thing to solid gold. Gold-filled pieces contain more than 100x more gold than gold-plated jewelry. For an item to be classified as gold-filled, 5% of the total weight of the item must be made up of gold. The layer of gold is much thicker and stronger, therefore more resistant to tarnishing. If you're looking to invest in a lifetime piece, this is for you!
STERLING SILVER
925 Sterling Silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. Sterling silver will stay shiny and new as you wear it, since your body oils keep the shine. If you don't wear it for awhile, no worries start wearing it again and the shine will come back! Sterling silver is a beautiful metal that will last forever.
