FAQs
What is Gold Filled Jewelry?
At Zaree Jewelry, we elevate the standard of gold-filled pieces. While traditional gold-filled jewelry is made by bonding a thick layer of real gold (at least 5% of the total weight) to a brass core, we take a different approach.
Our 18k gold is meticulously pressure-bonded to a durable stainless steel base. This superior construction makes each piece exceptionally robust, tarnish-resistant, and built to last—far surpassing the quality of gold-plated items. The result is a beautiful, affordable, and hypoallergenic choice that is perfect for everyday wear and gentle on even the most sensitive skin.
How Does Gold Filled Compare to Other Gold Jewelry Types?
Understanding gold jewelry types is crucial. Gold Plated is the cheapest, with a thin layer that tarnishes and isn't for sensitive skin. Gold Vermeil has a thicker gold layer over sterling silver, good for everyday wear, but it can tarnish. Gold Filled, our primary material, offers excellent durability, tarnish resistance, and hypoallergenic properties due to its substantial gold layer. Solid Gold is the most expensive and highest quality, being pure, tarnish-resistant, and ideal for sensitive skin. We choose 18k gold filled for its superior balance of quality, durability, and affordability.
Is Zaree Jewelry Tarnish-Free, Hypoallergenic, and Waterproof?
Yes! Every Zaree Jewelry piece is crafted with 18k gold-filled and stainless steel. This ensures they are tarnish-free, hypoallergenic, and waterproof. You can wear your Zaree pieces confidently for everyday activities, showering, and even swimming, without worrying about them losing their shine or irritating your skin. Our materials reflect our commitment to creating jewelry as resilient as you are.
How Can I Care for My Zaree Jewelry?
While durable, a little care helps maintain its brilliance. Simply rinse with warm water and mild soap, then pat dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store your pieces in a dry, cool place, ideally in a pouch or box, to prevent scratches. With proper care, your Zaree jewelry will continue to sparkle for years.
How is Zaree Jewelry Made to Last?
Our commitment to creating enduring jewelry begins with our materials. Each piece is meticulously crafted using an 18k gold-filled layer pressure-bonded to a durable stainless steel core. This process creates a resilient, long-lasting bond that prevents chipping, flaking, or tarnishing. By choosing this superior construction over standard plating, we ensure your Zaree jewelry can withstand daily life, from a morning workout to a night out, without losing its brilliant shine.
What is the Difference Between Gold Plating and Gold-Filled Jewelry?
While gold-plated jewelry involves a very thin, electrochemically-applied layer of gold that can easily chip and fade, gold-filled jewelry is fundamentally different. Our process creates a thick, permanent layer of real gold that is a minimum of 5% of the item's total weight. This means you get the luxurious look and feel of solid gold at an accessible price. This is why our pieces are tarnish-free, hypoallergenic, and built to last. Explore our collections and find a piece that truly endures.
