Private linking parties require a deposit for booking.

  • Gold Plated versus Gold Filled

    Gold-plated jewelry contains a thin layer of gold over an alloy metal, usually brass. Gold-plated jewelry will oxidize over time as the thin, top layer of gold rubs away with daily wear and it is hardly measurable, less than 0.5% of gold.

    Gold-filled jewelry has more gold overall with an alloy center, but it’s not solid gold. Gold-filled jewelry will not oxidize or change color and it will not tarnish. Gold-filled jewelry contains a measurable amount of gold, 5% or more, due to the several layers of 14k gold.

  • Customization

    Permanent jewelry can be customized with connectors or charms. Birthstones to represent a special month continue to be trending along with zodiacs. If you already own a special charm or piece that you want to incorporate into your permanent jewelry let me know ahead of time and bring it with you to your linking appointment.
