Industry Disclaimer 

The jewelry industry is vast, and unfortunately, not all suppliers or manufacturers are entirely truthful or deeply knowledgeable about the exact metallurgy of their pieces. At Amenia, we vet our sourcing partners closely, but we also rely on you—our community. If an item ever unexpectedly discolors or turns within 60 days of purchase, after following the care instructions stated below, please report it to us immediately. This allows us to update the product description. Our goal is to offer only the best.

Metal Overview

 

Gold-Filled (Traditional) 

 

  • Construction: Sourced with a thick layer of genuine 14k gold permanently heat-bonded over a sturdy brass or alloy core (containing 5% gold by weight). 

  • Longevity: Designed to last for several years of regular wear when treated with care, offering the rich look, feel, and weight of solid gold. 

  • Hypoallergenic Profile: Generally safe for most wearers because the outer layer is solid 14k gold over brass, though those with severe sensitivities should be mindful if the base core ever becomes exposed over years of heavy wear. 

  • Care Instructions: Avoid wearing during intense swimming, heavy sweating, or direct contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, and lotions. Clean gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth and store in a dry place. 

 

Double Gold Filled (2x the standard) 

 

  • Construction: 10% gold by weight (twice the industry standard) permanently bonded over a marine-grade stainless steel core. 

  • Longevity: Built for long-term daily wear and can last for many years without peeling or flaking. 

  • Hypoallergenic Profile: Highly hypoallergenic, nickel, and skin-safe, making it ideal for sensitive skin since it combines a thick gold exterior with a biocompatible stainless-steel foundation. 

  • Care Instructions: 100% swim and shower safe. While it resists tarnishing and won't turn your skin green, an occasional wipe with a soft cloth will keep its brilliant 14k gold luster looking pristine. 

 

Gold PVD-Coated Stainless Steel 

 

  • Construction: Sourced and finished via Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) using an advanced molecular coating technique (featuring a protective Titanium Nitride layer) over a durable 316L stainless steel base. 

  • Longevity: Designed to last at least 2 to 3 years or longer with proper maintenance, maintaining its brilliant finish against daily wear and tear. 

  • Hypoallergenic Profile: Exceptionally hypoallergenic and nickel free. 316L surgical stainless steel is widely recognized for sensitive skin and will not react, itch, or turn skin green. 

  • Care Instructions: Highly resistant to water, sweat, and corrosion. Rinse with mild soap and warm water if needed, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. 

 

Gold Vermeil 

 

  • Construction: Sourced on a genuine S925 sterling silver base with an exceptional gold layer that is at least 2.5 microns thick, reinforced with a specialized multi-layer technique including palladium. 

  • Longevity: Because of its heavy 2.5-micron gold layer and precious silver foundation, it is built to last for several years rather than months, functioning as a true semi-fine heirloom piece. 

  • Hypoallergenic Profile: Hypoallergenic and nickel-free. Because both the core (sterling silver) and the exterior (gold) are precious metals, it is wonderfully gentle on sensitive skin. 

  • Care Instructions: Remove before swimming, bathing, or applying cosmetics to protect the thick gold and sterling silver layers. Store individually in an anti-tarnish pouch. 

 

Gold Plated

  • Construction: Crafted on a lightweight base metal core (such as brass or alloy) and finished with a brilliant, electroplated layer of genuine gold to deliver an accessible, high-shine luxury look.

  • Longevity: Designed for occasional wear and styling versatility, gold-plated pieces offer a gorgeous aesthetic for trend-focused accessorizing. Because the gold layer is thinner than our demi-fine and gold-filled collections, mindful handling helps preserve its radiant finish over time.

  • Hypoallergenic Profile: Free of harsh additives, though care should be taken for those with extreme metal sensitivities due to the base metal core.

  • Care Instructions: Because standard gold plating is a delicate surface layer, these pieces are not waterproof. Always remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, washing hands, exercising, or applying lotions, perfumes, and cosmetics. Wipe gently with a dry microfiber cloth after wearing and store individually in an anti-tarnish pouch or airtight bag away from humidity.
