Waterproof Jewellery - Filled Gold

 

Why Waterproof Jewellery Made with 14k Gold-Filled Metals is a Must-Have

 

Jewellery is meant to be worn, not stashed away for special occasions. That’s why waterproof jewellery is growing in popularity. Whether you’re wearing a beaded bracelet, a sleek ring, or a layered necklace, choosing the right material is crucial. One of the best options? 14k gold-filled jewellery. In this post, we’ll explain why gold-filled pieces—particularly in rose and yellow gold—are superior to gold plating or PVD coatings. Plus, we’ll touch on the best care tips and some important advice if you love to mix your meta

What is 14k Gold-Filled Jewellery?

14k gold-filled jewellery is made by mechanically bonding a thick layer of real 14k gold to a base layer, often sterling silver rather than lower-quality metals like brass or copper. This process results in a durable, affordable product that retains its shine and luxurious feel over time.

Superior to Plated Jewellery Gold-filled jewellery is significantly superior to gold-plated or PVD-plated pieces. Here’s why:

• Thicker Layer of Gold: Gold-filled pieces contain 100 times more gold than plated jewellery. This makes them far more resistant to tarnishing, peeling, or fading.
• Durability: The bond between the gold and silver (or base metal) in gold-filled jewellery is much stronger than in gold-plated or PVD-plated items. This makes gold-filled pieces last much longer, even with daily wear.
• Value for Money: While gold-filled jewellery is slightly more expensive than plated jewellery, it offers much better value over time because of its durability.

Why Our Gold-Filled Jewellery Stands Out

At our store, most of our 14k gold-filled jewellery is bonded to sterling silver, rather than base metals like brass or copper. This gives our pieces an extra touch of quality and ensures that your jewellery looks and feels luxurious, without the hefty price tag of solid gold.

Using sterling silver as the core also means our gold-filled jewellery is hypoallergenic, perfect for sensitive skin. You can enjoy the beautiful shine of rose or yellow gold without irritation.

Waterproof and Ready for Everyday Wear

One of the biggest benefits of 14k gold-filled jewellery is its ability to withstand water exposure. Whether you're taking a dip in the sea, showering, or simply going about your day, you don’t have to worry about tarnishing or damage. Gold-filled pieces can be worn in water, making them ideal for beaded bracelets, rings, and necklaces.

However, when it comes to chlorine and silver, there’s a small caution!

Wearing Gold and Silver Together? Avoid Chlorine

While your gold-filled jewellery is water-resistant, silver isn’t as forgiving. If you love wearing both silver and gold together, it’s best to remove your silver pieces before swimming in chlorinated water. Chlorine can cause silver to tarnish and darken quickly. Keeping this in mind will help your silver maintain its shine.

The Versatility of Gold-Filled Jewellery 

 

Gold-filled beaded bracelets, rings, and necklaces are highly versatile. The combination of rose and yellow gold creates a timeless, elegant look that can be worn with almost any outfit. Plus, their durability means you can mix and match your gold-filled pieces with confidence, knowing they will keep their shine for years to come.

Caring for Your 14k Gold-Filled Jewellery

To ensure your gold-filled pieces last as long as possible, follow these simple care tips:

1. Clean gently: Use a soft cloth to wipe away any oils or dirt.
2. Store carefully: Keep your jewellery in a soft pouch or lined box when not in use to avoid scratches.
3. Avoid harsh chemicals: While gold-filled jewellery is durable, it’s always best to avoid exposing it to strong chemicals like bleach or chlorine.

Conclusion

When it comes to waterproof jewellery, 14k gold-filled pieces are a superior choice compared to plated and PVD-plated alternatives. The thick layer of real gold, often bonded with sterling silver, ensures that your jewellery remains beautiful and durable for years to come. Whether you prefer beaded bracelets, rings, or necklaces, investing in gold-filled jewellery means you can enjoy everyday elegance without worrying about tarnish or fading.

Remember, if you love wearing silver alongside your gold, avoid swimming in chlorinated water to keep your silver looking its best. Choose gold-filled jewellery for its beauty, value, and longevity—you won’t be disappointed.
