Solid Gold Mini Heart Charm

We recommend solid gold for all our customers that experience any skin sensitivities to gold plated or gold filled jewelry. Solid Gold is considered hypoallergic meaning it is highly unlikely you will experience irritation. Solid Gold is also known to last the test of time which means you can look forward to comfortably wearing your Solid Gold pieces for many years to come!

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 biocompatible making it suitable for new piercings and sensitive skin. However, there is 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.

Absolutely! Solid Gold can withstand all the above mentioned elements. However you will need to regularly clean your piece to maintain shine. For pieces that have diamond, moissanite or cubic zirconia stones we recommend keeping them out of water as to avoid loosening or losing your precious jewels.

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. With care, solid gold can last a lifetime! The higher the karatage the purer the gold and the more expensive it will be.

9K Solid Gold pieces are hallmarked with a '375' engraving. 14K Solid Solid Gold pieces are are hallmarked with a '585' engraving and 18K Solid Gold will have a '750' engraving. These are standard stampings across the industry and contrast with our Gold Fill marking which will read either 9K GF or 18GF.
