Why have you chosen to use 14K Solid Gold for the Piercings Collection?
14K solid gold is the perfect material for our Piercings Collection as it is safe for fresh piercings but also sturdy enough to last the test of time. Typically, fresh piercings use surgical stainless steel earrings but we wanted to create a piercing safe earring that is not only made with a high quality material but is also cute! We've all experienced getting a new piercing and wanting to switch out the studs to something more stylish but couldn't because of the healing period. Now you have the option of our Piercings Collection for something that is fresh piercing friendly and gorgeous!
Why is Solid Gold so expensive?
Solid gold is a scarce and difficult material to source and extract, unlike many other materials and metals, solid gold does not readily oxidise and is extremely durable over time. The higher the karatage the purer the gold and the more expensive it will be.
IIs 14k Solid Gold safe for fresh piercings?
14k solid gold is appropriate for fresh piercings as it has 14 parts gold and 10 parts alloying metal. This means it is still durable enough to hold its shape in your ear once pierced but it is also pure enough of a material to make it sensitive friendly and tarnish resistant.
What does 14k Solid Gold actually mean?
Pure gold is 24 karat, this means that 14 karat gold contained 14 parts gold (58.5%) and 10 parts alloying metal. We have chosen to use 14k solid gold as it is still a high purity of gold which makes it durable and sensitive friendly but with enough alloy to ensure it is still sturdy and not too soft. The higher the karatage, the softer the metal & more prone to bending & scratching.
How do I know I received a 14K Solid Gold earring?
Each 14k solid gold earring will have '585' stamped on the product - a standard stamping for 14k solid gold across the industry. Our 18K Gold Filled earrings will, in contrast, be stamped with the 18K GF marking.
How long does 14K Solid Gold last?
With care, 14k solid gold can last forever. Gold is one of the most long-lasting materials available for fine jewelry. Even if you have an active lifestyle, solid gold can withstand most elements and still retain the warmth and colour that we all know and love.
How do I care for 14K Solid Gold?
We recommend polishing your gold with a jewelry polish cloth regularly to retain its colour and shine. If you are wearing your 14k sold gold earrings everyday and you want to give them a deep cleanse, we would recommend you soak your gold earrings in a bowl of water with a bit of mild dish detergent. Once it has soaked for a couple of minutes give a quick scrub before rinsing it thoroughly. Then dry it well with a clean dry cloth.
Why can't I pierce with gold-filled jewelry?
Gold-filled is not suitable for initial piercings as your skin is ultra sensitive when freshly pierced, and mixed metals in gold-filled jewellery can irritate and slow down the recovery of your piercing. We can only recommend 14k Solid Gold for your initial piercing.
What do I do if I have an issue with my piercing?
Caring for your piercing is very important - to avoid issues from occurring to your piercing please follow the care guide and/or instructions provided to you at the time of your piercing by your piercing professional. In case of infection or if you have any concerns, please consult your doctor. If you have an issue with a manufacturing fault of your earring, please reach out to us via live chat or contact us here.

Gold-filled is the closest alternative to solid gold. Gold filled jewelry has a thick layer of solid gold bonded onto the base layer, usually brass or sterling silver. Compared to gold plated which uses a process of electroplating that quickly dips your jewelry in gold, resulting in a miniscule layer of gold, gold-filled is much more durable and long lasting.
There are 3 basic levels of gold jewelry. Solid gold, gold-filled, and gold plated.
- Solid gold contains the most gold, with 24 karat gold containing 100% gold. Gold-filled jewelry typically contains 5% solid gold in weight, while gold plated contains about 0.001% solid gold in weight.
- The process of making gold filled jewelry is much different to gold plated jewelry. Gold plated uses an electroplating process that quickly dips your jewelry in gold. With gold-filled, the thick layer of gold is pressure bonded onto the base metal, resulting in a very strong and durable ‘plating’.
- Gold-filled lasts 10x more than gold plated, making it hypoallergenic for those who cannot wear gold plated. Longer life times mean you are also producing less waste and saving money over time from having to buy more cheap jewelry.

With proper care, your jewelry will not tarnish for a long time. Our jewelry is never plated, so you are able to wear them day to day with ease of mind.
Yes, absolutely. Our jewelry is made from hypoallergenic materials, such as sterling silver and solid gold. Sensitive skin can some time have a reaction to copper or nickel. We never ever use nickel in our jewelry as it is not only harmful to your health but to the health of our makers. Jewelry with copper base components are prone to turning your finger green. Therefore we try to minimize the amount of copper used in our jewelry and opt for brass or sterling silver instead.
Yes, absolutely. You can wear our jewelry into the shower, to sleep, and to the sea. Be careful however not to put gemstones in water. Remember to clean it with a warm cloth after contact to keep the shine on your jewelry.
Sterling Silver will go duller over time. As with any jewelry, it is prone to collect dust, dirt and sweat over prolonged use. To restore the silver to its shine, use a polishing cloth (special type of cloth, you can get this at your jewellers’), or a simple aluminum, baking soda, and water solution to get rid of the gunk.
With any type of jewelry, even solid gold and solid silver, regular cleaning and upkeep is needed to keep your jewelry at its best condition. Simply use warm water and soap or a polishing cloth to clean. You can use our jewelry in water, however do wipe it down with warm water after you’re done, especially after being submerged in salt water. Sweat can also make your jewelry duller quicker, especially necklaces, so remove these when you are working out.
