Collective Hearts uses high-quality 14k gold fill to make our handcrafted gold jewelry.

We love working with 14K gold-fill, as it is much higher quality and longer lasting than 14K gold plating or other ordinary plating metals, and has the look, feel and durability of 14K gold jewelry at a much more affordable price.

There’s a thick layer of real, solid 14k gold on the outside of a brass 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.  

14K gold-filled can be worn by most people without allergic reactions. If you do not have any sensitivities to solid gold, you will find gold-filled agrees well with your skin.

This type of metal is not commonly used and is not usually available in major retail stores. We are proud to offer this high-quality, safe and affordable metal.
