Metal Guide
14k Gold-Filled. A practical balance between cost and quality, our gold-filled pieces have a thick layer of 14k gold, heat and pressure bonded to a high-quality brass core. They contain much more real gold than regular gold-plating.
14k Rose Gold-Filled. Similar to yellow gold-filled, rose gold filled has a bit of copper added to the alloy to give it a rosy hue.
Sterling Silver. Solid, precious metal that lasts forever. It darkens with time, but can be polished up. Oils from your skin help prevent silver tarnish... so wear it often!
14k Gold. Traditional precious metals for your special jewelry pieces. 14k or 585. Available in Yellow, Rose and White colors.
18k Gold. Special pieces can be made in solid 18k Gold (750). It is more precious due to high content of pure gold and have more intense yellow tone. We use only gold tone of 18k Gold.

What’s the difference between Gold-Filled, Gold-Plated and Solid gold?
Solid Gold Pure gold, alloyed with stronger metals, all the way through. Traditional expensive Gold alloy.
Gold Filled Thick gold layer pressure bonded to a core of high-quality brass. Total weight of 14k gold is 5% which is 100 times more than in gold plated jewelry.
Gold Plated Thin gold layer “flashed” onto metal core with electrical current. Plated jewelry has very thin layer of gold. Not used in Boutique Baltique pieces.
