MATERIALS
​​​​
14K GOLD-FILLED
​
14k gold-filled jewelry is crafted by pressure-bonding a thick layer of solid gold to a high-quality metal core, creating a durable and long-lasting finish. It contains up to 100x more gold than gold-plated pieces, making it far more resistant to tarnishing, fading, and everyday wear. Gold-filled jewelry is hypoallergenic, making it a safe and lasting option for sensitive skin.

​
STERLING SILVER
​
Sterling silver is a timeless and durable precious metal made from 92.5% pure silver. Known for its bright, polished finish, it’s hypoallergenic and ideal for everyday wear. Over time, sterling silver may naturally develop a soft patina or tarnish when exposed to air and moisture — this is completely normal and can be easily polished to restore its original shine. To keep your silver looking its best, store it in a dry, airtight pouch and clean occasionally with a soft cloth or gentle silver cleaner. With proper care, sterling silver jewelry retains its beauty for years to come.
GOLD-PLATED STAINLESS STEEL
​
Stainless steel is a highly durable, hypoallergenic metal that is resistant to corrosion and rust when properly cared for. Stainless steel jewelry doesn’t get scratched or damaged easily like other metals. Being hypoallergenic means that it is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. It doesn't affect the body or cause any adverse effects on the skin. ​While gold plating may show signs of wear over time, the stainless steel base of Unfiltered jewelry slows down the process significantly.
​
GOLD PLATED BRASS
​
Using brass as a base metal for jewelry combines the durability of brass with the luxurious appearance of gold. To enhance its aesthetic appeal, a thin layer of gold is electroplated onto the brass surface, which increases the longevity of the piece. Gold-plated brass offers a balance of affordability and elegance.
Our 14k -18k gold plating can last years if properly taken care of, please follow the care instructions below.
