Fine vs Demi-Fine Jewelry
Fine Jewelry
Made with precious metals, such as 9-24k Gold, Sterling Silver, Platinum, and genuine gemstones, fine jewelry is all about timeless elegance and lasting value. These pieces are designed to be cherished and passed down through generations.
10k-24k Gold
Available in Yellow, Rose and White colors, 10k-24k gold is measured by the percentage of pure gold in a gold alloy, 10k being the lowest and 24k the highest and the purest, these types of gold have the longest lifespan and refining value, making them the most sustainable options! Each karat type has their own specific properties, so do some research before you buy.Other Fine Metals
Other metals used that can be categorized as fine jewelry are Sterling Silver and Platinum.
Demi-Fine Jewelry
Demi-fine pieces are usually crafted from gold-plated, gold-filled, or gold vermeil and often feature semi-precious stones. They are perfect for those who want the look of fine jewelry without the hefty price tag.
Gold-plated Jewelry
Aka fast fashion jewelry. Made with a base of brass, copper or nickel, which is then covered with a thin layer of gold. This is the lowest quality jewelry and the actual gold layer is less than 1% of the total composition of the jewelry. You will usually get a few wears before the plating rubs off and you are left with tarnished metal that looks nothing like the “gold” you purchased.Gold Vermeil
Allow 5x thicker than regular gold-plated jewelry, Gold Vermeil is still gold-plated demi-fine jewelry. Although a price-conscious alternative to solid gold and has a longer lifespan than gold-plated jewelry, Gold Vermeil will last only a few years at most.Gold-filled Jewelry
Made by mechanically bonding 12- or 14- karat gold to a brass or silver core, creating a tarnish resistant surface. Gold-filled jewelry is an excellent option when on a budget and has a long lifespan, however there is no resale value or refining properties in gold-filled pieces.
