The Material

What is Gold Bonded Silver?

A real 14KT gold layer permanently fused to a core of .999 fine silver.

Not plating. Plating is a thin micro-layer measured in microns and wears off in months. Gold bonding fuses a thick layer of real 14KT gold under heat and pressure — typically 100× thicker than standard plating.

The core matters. We use .999 fine silver (purer than sterling .925) for weight, brilliance, and structural integrity. The 4mm and 6mm widths are made with precision-machined 950 silver to hold a tight, clean profile at slim widths.

The look of solid gold, a fraction of the cost. You get the warmth, tone, and density of solid 14KT — without the five-figure price tag. Each piece is mirror-buffed before bonding so the final finish reads as fine jewelry.

FAQ

Questions, Answered.

Will the gold wear off?

+

No. Gold bonding fuses a thick layer of real 14KT gold to the silver core — roughly 100× thicker than standard plating. With normal wear and our recommended care, the finish is built to last years, not months.

Is this real gold?

+

The outer layer is real 14KT gold, permanently bonded. The core is .999 fine silver (or 950 silver on 4mm and 6mm widths for structural integrity). Both are real precious metals.

How does this compare to solid gold?

+

It looks identical at a fraction of the cost — typically 10-15% of the solid 14KT equivalent. The trade-off is the gold layer is not the full mass of the piece. Solid gold can be melted for material value; bonded silver cannot.

How long does production take?

+

Two to three weeks. Every piece is made to order from scratch — we do not stock finished cubans. Heavier widths and Sleek Moissanite locks can run slightly longer.

Can I return or resize it?

+

Made-to-order pieces are not returnable. Sizing adjustments (links added or removed) are offered at material cost for life — labor is always free.

Why are 4mm and 6mm made differently?

+

At slim widths, traditional handmade construction loses structural integrity. We use precision-machined 950 silver for these widths to keep the link profile tight and the chain durable — then bond them in the same 14KT gold.
