Freshwater Pearls are cultivated within a Freshwater Mussel shell called Hyriopsis Schlegeli. A Pearl forms when a (nucleus, a small piece of the mussel’s tissue known as “mantle material,”is implanted with a heart or star shaped piece). The mollusc remains unharmed during this process and secretes the pearl with nacre (pearl lustre) over a period of 7-8 years. Pearls naturally occur in nearly every shade imaginable.  These colours range from white to golden, chocolate, pink, lavender.

The pearl, a lunar symbol representing both the moon and woman, has been a symbol of wisdom, purity and perfection for millennia.

The Latin word for pearl, “unique,” aptly describes the fact that no two pearls are identical.

What is GOLD FILLED?

Gold-filled is composed of a solid sheet of 14k gold bonded with heat and pressure to a sheet of bronze.

Why is it called Gold Filled? Is it “filled with gold”?

Actually, all the gold is on the outside, the industry decided on “gold-filled” to identify this kind of jewellery it’s confusing, since it has nothing to do with being filled with gold.

Most importantly the term gold filled refers to a thick outer layer of durable, pressure-bonded, real, solid gold…on the outside.  No filling.

IS GOLD-FILLED jewellery real gold?

The gold in 14k gold-filled is definitely real. There’s a thick layer of real, solid 14k gold on the outside of a bronze core.  The 14k gold that’s on the outside of gold-filled is the same gold as you would get from a solid 14k piece.  

When compared to gold plated Jewellery, Gold-Filled is a far superior product.

Gold filled is NOT “GoldPlated”.

Available in a choice of hoop, French hook, Interchangeable Spiral hook or continental lever backs…
