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

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.
