Marie Wishbone Ring

Gold Fill jewelry is the closest alternative to Solid Gold. Gold Fill jewelry has a thick layer of solid gold pressure and heat bonded onto the base metal, usually brass or sterling silver. This means Gold Fill jewelry contains 5% solid gold compared to gold plated jewelry which usually contains 0.05% solid gold. Gold Fill jewelry is typically much more durable and long lasting.

Yes, absolutely! Gold Fill is made with 5% Solid Gold heat and pressure bonded onto a base metal making it less likely for you to have a reaction. Sensitive skin can sometimes have a reaction to nickel but never ever use nickel in our jewelry as it is not only harmful to your health but to the health of our makers.

You sure can! Gold Fill is tarnish resistant and does not wear or tear when worn in water. We do however recommend taking your jewelry off if it contains any precious gemstones to avoid loosening or losing them! We also recommend cleaning your jewelry on a regular basis to maintain shine and remove grit.

All our bespoke designs are crafted in our certified ethical factories in Mumbai, India were they support a predominantly female workforce with a living wage.

With any type of jewelry, even solid gold and solid silver, regular cleaning and upkeep is needed to keep your jewelry in 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. Avoid exposing your jewelry to skin care products, soaps, detergents and perfumes. Store your jewelry in your S-kin Studio pouch or box to avoid moisture and metal on metal rubbing.
